Playing determined football all over the field, Glenelg gained a well-earned victory over the Port team at Adelaide in the Grand Final, before an enthusiastic crowd of spectators on Saturday.
+
[[File:Mcdermotttackle.jpg‎|right|280px|thumb|Chris McDermott tackles Norwood's Greg Thomas, round 19, 1982. ]]
-
Jumping right into their stride, Glenelg soon gave the crowd the impression that ports were not going to have it all their own way.  With every man doing his bit, they out-classed the Port team, and ended the first quarter with a handy advantage of three goals.
 
-
Glenelg kept the pace on in  the second term and, with Ports doing their utmost, the football enthusiasts were treated to one of the fastest exhibitions seen in Adelaide for years.  The Bay team maintained their early accuracy at the goal front, whereas the magpies lapsed into a period of inaccuracy.
 
-
During this quarter the Bay team kicked 5-4 to Port's 3-9.  The final two quarters were fought out at a terrific pace, and the excitement of both players and spectators was intense.

With only ten minutes to go, Ports equalised the score, and moved forward again from the bounce, but "Blue" Johnstone (sic), who had come into the limelight with magnificent marking, took a spectacular one and steaded (sic) the Bays, who went ahead again.

Johnstone(sic) again took another brilliant mark, this time right in the goal-mouth, and scored full points.
+
'''A last-kick-of-the-match win is something special in football. It highlights the fine line that can exist between victory and defeat, conquest and failure, ecstasy and agony.'''
-
Towards the end of the game tempers became very frayed, and some of the Port players, in the excitement, allowed their tempers to get out of hand.
+
And is leaves neutral spectators with a feeling of emptiness and frustration; that really, in fairness the result should have been a draw.
-
The final bell found Glenelg nine points in the lead, and a mighty roar went up in the praise of Glenelg's success in their first premiership.
+
This was the overriding impression of the classic struggle between Glenelg and Norwood waged at Football Park on Saturday.
-
Link and Colyer roved brilliantly for Glenelg, and their speed was one of the main factors in Port's defeat.
+
Both teams, Norwood more so, made mistakes in the face of pressure that is not always prevalent in SA football.
-
Hill, Shakes and Leak also showed plenty of dash, while Sallis, at centre, put up another grand game.
+
Yet either side would have been a worthy winner of a match in which the tension was sustained by the closeness of the scores and the 15 lead changes (6 in the third quarter).
-
Johnstone (sic), although handicapped with an injured knee, came to light in the last quarter with a brilliant display of high marking and long kicking.  
+
As it happened, Glenelg grabbed the glory by 4 points - a last gasp steal that was a personal triumph for mild-mannered captain Paul Weston who appeared to be wearing a bazooka for a boot.
-
Others to shine were the new-comer, R. Birrel, Brock and Whitaker. Bergin played brilliantly on a half-forward wing.
+
Weston's three-goal feat in the last quarter was nothing short of phenomenal.
-
Dermody was the outstanding man for Port.  His marking was faultless and his speed on the ground amazing.
+
At the 10-minute mark he launched a colossal screw punt from just out of the centre square and the ball bounced over the line for a goal that left Glenelg only three points down.
-
Quinn roved to perfection, and Hollingsworth, at half-forward, did good work, but missed badly when shooting for goals.
+
Tony Symonds, who made a late entry into the game as Tony Who?, kicked his fourth invaluable goal two minutes later from his left forward pocket.
-
Reval played his usual strong game, but did not dispose of the ball to advantage on all occasions.
+
Then Weston, this time with a perfectly executed drop-punt, goaled again to put the Tigers nine points clear.
-
McFarlane, who was brought in from the Amateur League for this match, took some beautiful marks in the last quarter, and R. Johnson and Eden did some good work in defence.
+
Goals to Jim Theil (with a banana punt) and Neville Roberts (his fith) gave Norwood a two-point lead in a frantic finish.

<center>'''GAIN VICTORY BY NINE POINTS'''</center>
+
As the timekeepers thumb hovered over the siren button, Weston, at half-forward right, fired probably the longest kick of his career - a booming screw punt that sailed on and on... over the heads of everybody and past the disbelieving goal umpire as if it were a magnet.
-
For the first time since they entered league football in 1921 Glenelg won the premiership today, defeating Port Adelaide by nine points.
+
Unaware that he had just blown my lead in the office's $150 tipping competition, Weston was all smiles when  he said later: "I didn't think it would make the distance. I just kicked it as far as I could."
-
By setting a cracking pace from the outset Glenelg gained a lead which proved too much for Port. It was inspiring football, which delighted the crowd present at the Adelaide Oval.
+
Nice one Paul!
-
Glenelg had never previously been higher than sixth on the premiership list, although it had a number of first-class players in its ranks.  Their combination today was excellent.
+
And a Glenelg official, still trembling with excitement had the last word: "I will die happy if we can do that to Port in a grand final."

Glenelg received an encouraging cheer as they filed on to the ground.  Port, who were wearing white knickers, were given an equally rousing reception when they bounded on to the arena a minute later.  Owens (Glenelg) won the toss and took advantage of a fresh breeze that blew diagonally across the ground, slightly favouring the northern goal.
+
-
 
+
-
Shakes got the ball away from a centre, and a free to Link saw Glenelg hot in attack.  An overhead shot by Goldsworthy went out of bounds and Port cleared. A brilliant chain of passes by Reval, Bampton, Hollingsworth, and Hender flashed the ball to the other end, and Quinn goaled from a free.
+
-
 
+
-
Link was prominent in the Glenelg attack, and when Owens manoeuvred cleverly to outmark R. Johnson, he equalled the score.  Outpacing the opposition, Leak and Link raced goalward again.  Percy marked safely and goaled.
+
-
 
+
-
The game was opening in brilliant fashion, and kept the crowd on its toes.  Sallis drove into Percy who marked against two opponents.  His shot from a long way out brought a point.  Reval and Bampton brought Port into attack, and Hollingsworth ran in leisurely to even the scores with a goal.
+
-
 
+
-
Goldsworthy kicked a goal for Glenelg, and narrowly missed another with a left-foot snap.  Percy, who was marking brilliantly, got a point with a long shot.  Glenelg were outpacing Port, and were doing practically all the attacking.
+
-
 
+
-
Hender led out cleverly to receive from Hollingsworth and brought Port within  a point of the opposition.  From the bounce Leak raced straight down the field and goaled.
+
-
 
+
-
A free to Bampton put Port in attack but Percy returned the ball.  Sallis was getting into his stride at centre and twice drove the ball forward.  Dermody was prominent in a Port breakaway, but after marking well Hooper got only a behind from easy range.
+
-
 
+
-
Dermody eclipsed Hill who had sustained a heavy fall in the early stages of play and was Port's main avenue of attack.  But the Port's forwards could make little use of the opportunities provided, being cleverly checked.

Goldsworthy added a goal fro Glenelg before the bell.

Percy and Link attacked when the second quarter opened, but Owens failed to hold the ball.  Hill and Goldsworthy drove it in again, and Owens scored a goal from a free on the boundary.
+
-
 
+
-
Once more Dermody showed his brilliance, but Hollingworth's long shot was not accurate.  Port maintained the pressure and success came when Reval found the goal.  Glenelg responded with a fierce thrust capped by a goal from Colyer.
+
-
 
+
-
It was inspiring football.  Dermody put Hollingworth in the way of getting his next goal.  Goldsworthy retaliated with a goal from a long shot for Glenelg.  Obst, who had been consistently beaten by Goldsworthy, was taken from half-back and replaced by McFarlane, a Port recruit.

-
A shot by Owens was touched on the line by Eden, and R. Johnson marked a hot shot from Colyer in the goalmouth a moment later.

Weight was now being used freely by Port in an effort to unsettle Glenelg.  Both teams temporarily lost their accuracy, Glenelg scoring three behinds and port two before Johnston at the throw-in from the boundary and ran in to goal.  James went a  long way out of the goal to cover Ween, and a long shot by Hollingworth bounced through for full points.
+
 +
Apart from a thrilling climax, it was hard to pinpoint where the match was won and lost.
 +
For Glenelg, Stephen Kernahan produced a tireless four-quarter effort in ruck. Graham Cornes and Stephen Barrett were the pick of the hard working defence. David Marshall was a obtrusive on a wing as Michael Lunniss was on a forward flank and Tony McGuiness and John Paynter were busy rovers, although McGuiness's disposal was not up to his usual standard.
 +
Michael Aish wore John MacFarlane as a second skin but he still did more than any other Redleg.
 +
Robert's five goals were proof of his class. Greg Turbill, Garry McIntosh and Greg and Keith Thomas were creative runners. Duncan Fosdike was an industrious wingman and Theil marshalled the backlines in his typical muscular manner.

In 1982 Glenelg stormed into the grand final from 4th position. Finals victories against Central District and Sturt were followed by a 1-point triumph over Port Adelaide in the preliminary final. None of this would have occurred, as Glenelg would have missed the final five, if not for a massive Paul Weston kick in the dying seconds of this match to give Glenelg a 4-point win.

Glenelg's victory in this game, during which the lead changed 15 times, was achieved without ruck stalwart Peter Carey, who was suspended for striking during the round 18 loss to West Adelaide at Richmond Oval.

WHEN ONLY A DRAW SHOULD DO

By Alan Sheil

A last-kick-of-the-match win is something special in football. It highlights the fine line that can exist between victory and defeat, conquest and failure, ecstasy and agony.

And is leaves neutral spectators with a feeling of emptiness and frustration; that really, in fairness the result should have been a draw.

This was the overriding impression of the classic struggle between Glenelg and Norwood waged at Football Park on Saturday.

Both teams, Norwood more so, made mistakes in the face of pressure that is not always prevalent in SA football.

Yet either side would have been a worthy winner of a match in which the tension was sustained by the closeness of the scores and the 15 lead changes (6 in the third quarter).

As it happened, Glenelg grabbed the glory by 4 points - a last gasp steal that was a personal triumph for mild-mannered captain Paul Weston who appeared to be wearing a bazooka for a boot.

Weston's three-goal feat in the last quarter was nothing short of phenomenal.

At the 10-minute mark he launched a colossal screw punt from just out of the centre square and the ball bounced over the line for a goal that left Glenelg only three points down.

Tony Symonds, who made a late entry into the game as Tony Who?, kicked his fourth invaluable goal two minutes later from his left forward pocket.

Then Weston, this time with a perfectly executed drop-punt, goaled again to put the Tigers nine points clear.

Goals to Jim Theil (with a banana punt) and Neville Roberts (his fith) gave Norwood a two-point lead in a frantic finish.

As the timekeepers thumb hovered over the siren button, Weston, at half-forward right, fired probably the longest kick of his career - a booming screw punt that sailed on and on... over the heads of everybody and past the disbelieving goal umpire as if it were a magnet.

Unaware that he had just blown my lead in the office's $150 tipping competition, Weston was all smiles when he said later: "I didn't think it would make the distance. I just kicked it as far as I could."

Nice one Paul!

And a Glenelg official, still trembling with excitement had the last word: "I will die happy if we can do that to Port in a grand final."

Apart from a thrilling climax, it was hard to pinpoint where the match was won and lost.

For Glenelg, Stephen Kernahan produced a tireless four-quarter effort in ruck. Graham Cornes and Stephen Barrett were the pick of the hard working defence. David Marshall was a obtrusive on a wing as Michael Lunniss was on a forward flank and Tony McGuiness and John Paynter were busy rovers, although McGuiness's disposal was not up to his usual standard.
