ROUND FIVE
Saturday the 24th of April.

GLENELG 3.6 12.10 16.18 20.25 (145)
NORTH 5.4 9.4 10.7 12.9 (81)

Glenelg were simply a cut above a very ordinary North outfit. In fact, the score line is flattering to North, as Glenelg squandered several easy chances in front of goal and could have easily won the game by another 5 goals. Chad Cornes was excellent after a disapointing effort against Sturt and Justin Byrne continued his great form.
The effort of Todd Winstanley was most encouraging, he really stepped up in the abscence of Golding. Winstanley was reported after crashing into Chris Naish a fraction of a second after the latter had taken a chest mark. The decison to award a 50 metre penalty was marginal and the report was one of the softest this observer has witnessed. Naish picked himself up immediately, without a hair out of place. With no television coverage of the game to highlight the trivial nature of the incident, the verdict will be most interesting. Glenelg can ill afford to lose Winstanley with Golding likely to be playing for the Crows.

TIGERS HUMILIATE STRUGGLING NORTH

By Doug Robertson.
A mostly smooth-moving and extremely confident Glenelg angrily ripped apart a struggling North Adelaide with a humiliating 64 point thrashing and dumped the Roosters at the bottom of the SANFL ladder.
The depleted Tigers cruised to an impressive 20.25 (145) to 12.9 (81) victory at Glenelg oval yesterday despite going into the game without outstanding key-ruckman Matthew Golding (Crows) and first choice full forward Brendon Feddema (corked thigh).
But never did it miss Golding's usual dominance as Glenenlg's hyperactive midfielders fed of North big man Lucas Herbert and seemed to work out a few bugs in the system mainly because of the astonishing lack of focus from the often pedestrian Roosters.
A brilliant and hard - running second term set Glenelg up for a big victory. Chad Cornes burst into the contest marking strongly and working across the entire half-forward area. The Port Adelaide Power-listed Cornes gave his midfeild runners and the rebounding half-backs an obvious target that they eagerly welcomed.
Cornes picked up seven kicks, three classy marks, one handball and kicked 2.2 for the term in a dominant display that gave a glimpse of his depth of talent and turned the early tight contest to the Tigers.
James Byrne, Josh Carr and Matthew Liptak were on top in the pivot -although the underdone Liptak spent most of the second half in a forward pocket - and defenders Paul Rouvray, Richard Kelly, Martin Mellody and Brett Higgins worked the ball forward with the touch of skill critics claimed the Tigers lacked.
Glenelg picked up 87 possessions for the second term to North's 43, which was a true indication of the stateof both outfits.
The only downer for Glenelg was Todd Wistanley being reported for allegedly charging Chris Naish during the second term - one of a handful of decisions to excite supporters from both clubs during a sometimes puzzling display.
Brendon Parker, with 10 marks and 12 penertrating kicks, was North's only consistently threatening forward for the four quarters. Most of his team-mates struggled even to man up on opponents let alone have the prsence of mind to attack the ball creatively.
"We believe we have a team that will win more than it loses and you can see when we are hard at the footy and use it what damage we can do," Glenelg coach Tony McGuiness said.
North couldn't recover after Glenelg's second - quarter onslaught and didn't progress past centre for the first 10 minutes of the third term.
"We're just not adhering to team rules or sticking to the team plans," said co-captain Parker. "If you want to point the finger at anyone, point it at the players."
