Glenelg lairising at Alberton Oval?  Preposterous as that may sound Jim West taunted the Port Adelaide defence on Saturday as he stood alone in the goal square preparing for his tap-in fourth goal.

George Fiachi did not like it, nor did the rest of the Port backline, but they could not do nothing but bear it (and probably remember it).

Glenelg was about to extend its lead to 75 points at the half-way point of the third quarter and the normally watertight Port defence was leaking.

Things became worse as West continued to grab marks and mobile half-forward Michael Barton, whose mid-season purple patch has been allied to Glenelg's, continued to roam unchecked.

Barton finished with six goals, West five and John Fidge, afforded the luxury of an early shower at three-quarter time, completed the game with four.
The attacking Tiger trio of Barton, West and Fidge was the converter of Glenelg's unprecedented dominance further afield.

I'd love them to play like that all the time," Wlliams said.  While that might be asking too much as the team hardly made a mistake on Saturday, the Tigers must stay focused on their premiership goal.
