However, five goals in eight minutes secured the victory for the Tigers and outright top spot on the premiership table. Midfielder Tom Holmes was one of the factors in Glenelg's victory. Holmes stood above his more credential fellow midfielders, Brett Backwell, Adam Fisher, Ben Kane and Ty Allen, by kicking five goals and laying 12 tackles. He was well supported by Joshua Willoughby who continued his recent goal kicking form with three goals.

Josh Willoughby was outstanding early kicking three goals and James Sellar was a strong target up forward. Brett Backwell was dangerous around the ground chipping in with three clever goals. Mills, Kirk, Meyer, Panozzo and Mules thwarted and frustrated the Magpies forward thrusts.

Josh Carr played his first game for the Tigers since 2000. ROUND 5 v CENTRAL DISTRICT (26/4/09) Lest we forget in many ways. On a day when we remember the sacrifices that many made to protect our nation, our institutions and our freedoms the Tigers were massacred and embarrassed by a disciplined Central District side. Glenelg won the toss, kicked with the breeze and scored the first goal. From then it was all the Bulldogs. The Tigers failed to capitalise on having the first use of the breeze and were quickly chasing the scoreboard. Glenelg's movement into the forward line was non existent. In stark contrast the Dogs were efficient in their ball movement and comfortably handled the windy and wet conditions. In order to reassert themselves on the competition the Tigers will need to quickly regain their 2008 form. It will need to start against South Adelaide in round 6. As for Anzac Day 2009, 'lest we forget'. details

After Kirby coolly slotted the 6 pointer the Tigers held the ball inside their 50 metre zone for the remaining four minutes until victory was theirs. Full-forward Matthew Duldig was the match winner. Duldig provided a focal point up forward, marked strongly and converted 3 goals in the second half as the Tigers reduced the deficit. Ty Allen's presence was a welcome addition in the midfield. details
