Although Glenelg was to profit by the advent of John Sandland from the reserves' bench it would have been in dire trouble but for the magnificent and tireless ruck work of Bob Tregenza and rover Greg Bennett. Anything but a stylist, Tregenza's concept of the complete ruck performance is to outrage the opposition by sheer strength and at the same time set up his team mates. He did it to perfection. Despite a kink in his legs from incessant work on the ball he stayed unbowed and unbroken until the finish when he could barely crawl. |

But because of the great roving of David Marsh, the speed and kick placement of Barry Stringer on his wing, together with Payne's straight ahead methods, North was always in touch. When Voigt potted two goals in time-on, Glenelg had kicked seven straight goals for the third quarter to start the last quarter with an eight-point break.

The Glenelg football club won its second premiership in 1973. The match between Glenelg and North Adelaide is one of the most famous grand finals. After losing only 1 game all season, Glenelg were warm favourites to take the flag. North Adelaide had other ideas and the match, played in 31 degree heat, became a classic battle.
