ROUND EIGHT
Saturday the 15th of May.

GLENELG 2.3 5.6 7.7 12.9 (81)
SOUTH 0.1 2.4 4.6 5.8 (38)

It was a scrappy, lacklustre affair, but Glenelg were able to come away with the points. It is significant that Glenelg was able to overcome the unsettling effect of 5 forced changes to its playing personnel. Vetrens Hele and Kretschmer led by example and stood out with Carr, as Glenelgs' best. Ben McEntee showed plenty of promise at full forward, whilst Ricky Halls' performance in the second half reaffirmed his huge potential. The win allowed the Tigers to stay in second spot on the ladder, only one game behind leaders Port Adelaide. The match report is extracted from the "Sunday Mail."

By Doug Robertson.
A developing Glenelg battled for three quarters before overpowering a limp South Adelaide by 43 points to hold second spot and plant the Panthers firmly and alone at the foot of the SANFL ladder, at Glenelg Oval yesterday.
Glenelg's grinding 12.9 (81) to South's inadequate 5.8 (38) showed Another dimension of the born-again Tigers Tigers, which must now test their talent in the wet and trying winter months to come.
Glenelg rarely showed the fluid System of recent weeks. At times it looked decidedly ragged even when not under much pressure but when It needed to split the difference between the form of the two sides the Tigers had plenty to offer.
They led by only 18 points five minutes Into the final term then banged on the final four goals of the game with glimpses of the cohesion and skill it has displayed for the past month.
High-flying 19-year-old forward Ben McEntee (188cm) emerged as a willing target at full forward. He moved from half-forward at half-time after Glenelg lost State-squad half-back Paul Rouvray just before the break with slight concussion and five stitches above the eye.
Brandon Feddema (1.0) went from the goal mouth to defence and the almost-forgotten rover Ricky Hall Came off the bench to ignite several passages of smooth play and contribute three goals to be the game's top scorer in a half.
"The circumstances of the game didn't allow us to play the way we have in previous weeks," coach Tony McGuinness said. "That's going to happen in windy conditions and against an (opponent) that's under pressure and has got to come out and do the job. The game fell into a bit of a scrappy, messy game and it wasn't pretty."
"Full credit to South, they came at us pretty hard. I thought the game was in the balance for pretty well most of it... but when the game was there to be won in the last quarter we did."
"We've got to got back to square one," dejected coach Ken Applegarth said after addressing his players for almost 30 minutes behind locked doors. "I asked them for a four-quarter effort and at three quarter time I was reasonably happy. But we just fell away after that."
