Round 17, August 23, 1975
In a feat that is unlikely to be repeated, Glenelg kicked an extraordinary 49 goals against a hapless Central District at Glenelg Oval, round 17, 1975. Glenelg wingman John "Snout" MacFarlane kicked for gaol in the very last seconds of the game but managed to hit the post, denying Glenelg it's 50th goal of the match. Incredibly, despite Glenelg's dominance Central District still managed to kick 11 goals for the match, resulting in a match total goal aggregate of 60, another record which will surely never be equalled.
"It was like standing up against a wall and facing a machinegun loaded with footballs... The Bays were in full flight and no matter what we tried we couldn't halt them. I got a stiff neck from watching the ball shot from the centre to Fred Phillis, between the goal posts, to the boundary umpire and back to centre for another bounce." - Central District backpocket Julian Swinstead
In an intersting footnote, Central District players and their most loyal suppoters would have retired back to Elizabeth and their newly opened $150,000 licensed clubrooms after the game, clubrooms designed by architect Dennis "Fred" Phillis!
