ROUND TWO
Saturday the 18th of March.

GLENELG 3.6 5.10 8.11 13.15 (93)
NORTH 2.2 4.2 7.6 9.7 (61)

Glenelg took the points after clearly out playing North all day but struggling to translate their supremacy onto the score board. Glenelg lacked system when bringing the ball forward, and should have won by a lot more than the eventual 32 point margin.
Full forward David Hams was outstanding in his first match for the club, kicking 4 goals despite the generally poor delivery of up field players. Hams will be a match winner for Glenelg if the ball can be delivered systematically.
Ben McEntee was outstanding in both attack and defence, finishing the game with 13 marks. Richard Kelly supplied his usual drive out of the centre and Nick Chigwidden marked the start of his record breaking eighth season as club captain with a typically gutsy performance.
Of concern was the poor form of Matthew Golding who struggled to get a tap against former Crow team mate Lucas Herbert. The Tigers have limited options in the ruck and Golding needs to lift.
Glenelg was certainly extremely committed and their tackling was first rate. If it can deliver the ball into the forward lines with system and purpose the club will be in for an excellent year.

CHIGWIDDEN INSPIRES YOUNG TIGERS

Glenelg comprehensively out played a "disgraceful" North Adelaide outfit all day, but waited until the last quarter before showing signs of pulling clear on the scoreboard at Glenelg oval yesterday.
The Tigers eventually ran out winners by 32 points, 13.15 (93) to 9.7 (61), but never broke more than two goals clear until the fourth quarter, when they piled on 5.4 to 2.1.
Appalled North Adelaide coach Chris McDermott said it was no more than silly luck his side was within striking distance at the final break.
From the opening bounce the difference between the two sides was unmistakable - Glenelg delivered accurately and attacked the ball with a fierceness the Roosters never even approached, while when North did get the ball, its disposal was woeful. "Nothing worked today - to be within two goals at three-quarter time was unbelievable because of how badly we played," McDermott said.
"Our attack on the football, especially at throw-ins and bounces was disgraceful."
North's saving grace was that when they did create scoring opportunities, they capitalised on them.
Glenelg had the vast majority of the play throughout the game, but took less consistent advantage of its forays into the forward 50m than North.
That fact, at least in part, came down to the fight displayed by Rooster defenders Ray Ebel and Scott Sutherland, who McDermott pointedly described as North's "only" good players.
The Bays were led from the centre by Richard Kelly and evergreen Nick Chigwidden, who showed why he was named captain for a record eighth season with a persistence, aggression and an extreme work ethic that inspired his younger team-mates.
Ben McEntee exploded in the second term with seven kicks and six exciting marks and continued his form for the rest of the game to provide stand-out performance for Glenelg in attack and defence, finishing the match with two goals.
Glenelg coach Tony Mcguinness was not overly concerned with his sides inablity to pull clear of a patently sub-standard opponent.
Instead he was quietly confident the game would break open at some stage and we were the ones who did it".
Glenelg lost Mark Harwood and Todd Winstanely within minutes of each other late in the first term - Winstanely not to return after being stretchered off with a knee injury after a marking clash in the goal square.
Harwood also left - in obvious pain - after a heavy clash in a marking contest, but returned and finished with two goals.
Neither is a serious injury and nor is Mark Viska's hip soreness.
North, however will be without Daniel Motlop for at least two weeks after he injured an ankle.
