ROUND TWENTY ONE
Saturday 13th of August

GLENELG 4.1 7.4 13.6 17.9 (111)
PORT 2.3 6.6 7.10 8.13 (61)

In a memorable day, the Glenelg Football Club celebrated the launch of the club history, "Pride of the Bay" and David Grenvolds' 100th game with a thumping 50 point win over Port Adelaide. A crowd of 6,000 gave the game a pre Crows atmosphere as Glenelg gave its opponents a second half hiding.
With Golding lost to the Crows, things looked grim when main ruck man Fogden was stretchered of in the opening minutes. He was replaced by fellow West Adelaide recruit Todd Winstanely, who was making his first league appearance for two months. In his finest effort for Glenelg, Winstanely proceeded to get on top in the ruck and provide a focal point around the ground. Glenelgs' best was centre Craig Kelly, who must be favourite for the club best and fairest. Nick Chigwidden continued his fine recent form, and with Kelly and Josh Carr, dominated the mid feild. In defence, Michael Raidis was outstanding.
After a torrid first half, Glenelg clearly needed a forward to stand up in the abscence of Cornes. Ben McEntee did just that, and took some fine marks and finished the game with 4 goals.
Glenelg currently sits in second spot and cannot be displaced from the final five. A victory against Sturt at Unley next week would almost certainly ensure a top three finish. If Glenelg wins its final two games (it plays West at Richmond in the last round) and Port has a loss to Sturt at Alberton in round 23, Glenelg would almost certainly finish minor premiers on percentage!

TIGERS STAKE CLAIM

By Doug Robertson.
A fast and furious stormen into the top three yesterday, embarrassing Port Adelaide by beating the premier at its own crunching game at Glenelg oval.
In the most outstanding style the Tigers have shown for more than five seasons, they powered to a near unblemished 17.9 (111) to 8.13 (61) win. A 10-goals to two last half virtually booked a finals spot and set up a genuine crack at the crucial double chance.
Coach Tony McGuinness had the Tigers playing a brand of uncomprimising football that has toppled all sides but Sturt- their opponent next week. McGuinness said yesterday's win was Glenelg's finest in his two seasons as coach.
Led by gutsy Richard Kelly and the tireless Nick Chigwidden, Glenelg played with a touch of genius that created an atmosphere reminiscent of their clashes with Port in the 1970s and 80s.
The only drawbacks for Glenelg were an injury to ruckman Brooke Fogden 90 seconds in, and a report on defender Michael Raidis by umpire Kevin Chambers for allegedly deliberately tripping Shane Holmes in the second term.
Glenelg knew on Friday night it had lost ruckman Matthew Golding to Adelaide, but when Fogden went down, McGuinness called Todd Winstanley off the bench with devastating effect. The former West Adelaide reserves defender- with Kelly and Chigwidden- immediately led the Tigers with aggression at the ball and fearless attack.
Glenelg laid 26 effective tackles to Port's 19 and each Tiger took delight in driving opponents into the turf when the chance arose.
Josh Carr was brilliant, with his in-close work on Port skipper David Brown having the most influence. The umpires- who enraged fans by missing head high tackles- tolerated Carr's persistant niggling on Brown, except for one occasion when a free on the wing resulted in a Magpie goal.
Glenelg belted Port 6.2 to 1.4 in a senstional third term and added 4.3 more as it powered home.
"It was no different to the way we have been playing. There is a consistency there and a genuine attack on the footy," McGuinness said. The strength of the side is the ability to sustain pressure throughout a game."
Port coach Stephen Williams, face showed the opposiste side of a one-sided contest, at least after half time. He said he would not accept the substandard effort from his players, but admitted it was Glenelg's pressure that causes the Magpies to flop.
Williams said "a lot" of Magpies were now under notice that their spots were in jeopardy.
