After South Adelaide took fifth spot from Port Adelaide on Saturday after a rare win at Alberton, Glenelg regained it with their victory over West Adelaide at the Bay on Sunday.
The Eagles were pipped by a late goal from Centrals Eddie Sansbury at Woodville Oval, appropriately in the SA Indigenous Round.
Sturt gave bottom place to North Adelaide after a ten point's success at Prospect.
They had trailed by seventeen points at half time and after a big loss to Norwood it was an outstanding comeback.
Matthew Duldig led the Double Blues Goal Scores with four and their win was made better by the late withdrawal of Captain Jade Sheedy.
What an important match for both Sturt and Port Adelaide at Unley Oval on Saturday.
Norwood in second place comes off the Bye and Hosts North Adelaide at the Parade also on Saturday.
The Roosters have disappointed under new Coach Josh Francou - they don't seem to be able to put four good quarters together.
West Adelaide after three losses in a row will be grateful for the Bye to regroup.
The Bloods seem to have incurred the wrath of the Umpires leading to the usual mild mannered coach Andy Collins venting his spleen regarding three decisions, which enabled the Tigers to regain the lead at half time and go on win by forty five points.
New Tigers Coach Kris Massie was just relieved for his players and the club which was celebrating their 90th Birthday.
Fifth placed Glenelg are at home again on Sunday to the third placed Woodville-West Torrens who really needs a spark.
Their endeavour wasn't questioned by Coach Michael Godden against the Bulldogs, but good sides win the close ones.
After being thrashed in the opening round of the year, Centrals have now recorded ten wins and know how to extricate themselves from a difficult position during a match.
They've done it for over a decade now and that's the challenge for the Panthers against Centrals on Sunday at Noarlunga.
South worked as hard as a unit against Port Adelaide on Saturday and they know they've got to do it all again and better against the Bulldogs.
