BAYS BACK IN HUNT.

By Brett Clancy
Glenelg slammed on seven goals in a blistering yesterday at the Pros[pect oval to overwhelm North Adelaide 16.10 (106) to 10.6 (66) and charge back into finals contention.
The Tigers, four points down at half time and contemplating four losses in a row, built up steam in the third term, before blowing the game apart with a withering procession of goals, initiated by dynamic Sudjai Cook in the 13th minute.
Tough and commited in the first half, the Roosters yielded badly against a Tiger unit which threw off the mediocrity of past weeks to reignite their season before Friday's testing assignment against high-flying Norwood.
The hard-working first half and polished third quarter pleased coach Tony McGuinness, who praised his charges' desperation and poise in a must-win game.
"It was a game we had to win and we approached it that way, we had to stop the slide or the ramifications would have been horrific," said McGuinness, who replaced forward Lindsay Smith - struck down with the 'flu - with Alan Bartlett.
The Roosters' tenacious first half assualt ended with Danny Morton's opportunistic in the tenth minute of the third term, the last North Adelaide score for the quarter, before Glenelg went on a rampage.
Cook (4.2) sizzled around the packs across the half-forward line, Richard Kelly bulldozed a path through them and Nick Chigwidden and Byrne collected quality possesions.
The pair were lucky to be playing for different reasons - Byrne passing a fitness test and getting the green light from his doctor to play after being concussed last weekenfd and Chigwidden, after leavingthe side of his wife Kathryn after she gave birth yesterday morning to a baby girl.
Matthew Golding showed flashes of brillance during a strong performance, amassing 24 hit-outs and five solid marks against high-leaping, promising Rooster Michael Burford.
Insipsid upfront previously, the Tigers showed plenty of spark in the forward lines, with Damien Gigney (4.0) a strong target, after switching from defence, and Simon Nicholas creative at centre half-forward.
With Cook providing the biggest spark in attack and smooth moving Simon Hele and impressive Lance Picioane, the Tigers looked dangerous.
With their defence quelling the early influence of Brendon Parker (3.0) and Stephen Pech (4.1) the Roosters struggled to find an avenue to goal and relied to much on Morton and Chris Naish to conjure goals.
However, there were plenty of positives for the Roosters in a seesawing first half. Pech stood up when the Roosters were in danger of losing grip, booting three morale boosting goals late in the second term - the last coming on the siren from another strong middle of the pack grab.
Morton (27 diposals), Troy Lehmann (29) and Naish (21) were among the busiest.
