Match Report from The Advertiser
 Bloodied but not bowed. Peter Carey and Tony McGuiness celebrate a famous win against Port Adelaide, round 19, 1983
RECKLESS PORT MUST TAKE BLAME
By Alan Sheil
Port Adelaide deserves the strongest condemnation for starting and prolonging the violence which marred the Glenelg game.
Port's deliberate, reckless mayhem brought only disgrace to a club that is proud of its tradition, self-discipline and strength of character.
While it may take two to tango, Glenelg's role in the brutal second quarter was more one of stern resistance and predictable retaliation in the face of some vicous head-hunting by a few erratic port players.
In many ways it was an unfortunate repetition of the unsavoury tactics Port resorted to in last year's preliminary final; tactics or inexcusable behaviour it was thought Port had eliminated from its system.
Frustration probably triggered the unnecessary, illegal actions of the port players involved, for Glenelg was clearly the superior side, save for a purple patch Port produced to kick four goals early in the last quarter.
Whatever, the spiteful second quarter revived memories of the famous comment Australian cricket captain Bill Woodfull made to England team manager Pelham Warner during the Bodyline Test at Adelaide Oval in January, 1933.
Woodfull said: "I don't want to see you, Mr. Warner. There are two teams out there. One is trying to play cricket the other is not. The game is too good to be spoilt. It is time some people got out of it."
Glenelg captian Peter Carey would have been entitled to have said the same to anyone who cared to listen in the Port room at half-time on Saturday.
GILES UNLUCKY
Regretably, the most serious unjury was an innocent player - Port's all-Australian half-back Tony Giles, who was concussed by a perfectly executed (and legitimate) hip-and-shoulder by Glenelg's heavy, rock-hard centre half-forward David Holst.
Port interchange Anthony Williams also spent Saturday night in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital with concussion, having been bumped heavily by Glenelg centre half-back Wayne Stringer.
Port's catalouge of destruction on Glenelg players did not amount to anything as serious as admission to hospital, but it included Stephen Kernahan - slight concussion through a late, possibly accidental hit to the head, Carey - thump on the head, McGuiness - punch in the kidney area,; Holst - hit on the head; McDermott - hit in the face; Hewett - hit on the head; McGuiness - punch in the face causing a bloodied nose and mouth.
That Glenelg could weather the physical storm and go on to its biggest win (95 points) over Port anywhere - and to kick its highest score (23.20) against Port at the Bay - was a tribute to its grim resolve, widespread talent and creativity and blistering speed, compared with which Port looked positively lethargic.
With a team full of dominant players , it was appropriate that glenelg selectors decided against awarding their usual six trophys and asked that all 20 Glenelg players share equally the contributions to a bag that was taken around the clubrooms.
