	At last! After years of frustration, lost opportunities and unfulfilled potential, the Glenelg Football Club finally secured its third premiership. The frustration of lost grand finals and the Peter Carey tribunal fiasco of 1984 were forgotten in the euphoria of victory. However, with their team down by 5 goals in the second quarter, not a few Glenelg fans were starting to ponder the possibility of yet another grand final loss. But it wasn't to be. Considered by many to be one of the finest sides ever assembled in South Australia, the 1985 Tigers overcame a shaky start to inflict North Adelaide with a 57 point hiding. Then the partying went into full swing!		At last! After years of frustration, lost opportunities and unfulfilled potential, the Glenelg Football Club finally secured its third premiership.

	When the flattery of the crowd has stopped ringing in players' ears, when the champagne bubbles of celebration have burst, the 1985 premiership will be remembered as the result of ~~Gleneig~~'s epidemic courage.

	Down five goals in the second quarter the Glenelg players watched their hard work of winter perishing so fruitlessly. They were doing and dying and seemed headed for destruction themselves. Coach Graham Comes, squirming uncomfortably in his boundary-line bunker, was angry and frustrated.

	And with the premiership in jeopardy the grand final erupted in a chaotic third ~~quater~~ when players from both sides tried to frighten each other with tactics not us espoused by the Marquis of Queensberry.

	Chris McDermott was inspirational. He was a hero to the Glenelg crowd- a society founded on hero worship. But so also were rover Tony McGuinness, half-forward Tony Symonds, Peter Maynard and half-forward David Marshall. Their different skills provided an avalanche of scoring opportunities that finally overwhelmed North.		Chris McDermott was inspirational.

	Then in defence, were Ross Gibbs and Henwood - the former Sandgropers doing everything but groping.

	But the biggest monument in the game was Glenelg centre half-forward Stephen Kernahan, who won the Jack Oatey Medal as best afield. He was the Glenelg heart, the one player North never controlled, never subdued. After a worrying start, he imposed his special dignity on the game and probably more than anyone else started the alarm bells ringing for North.

	And as the sounds of failure echoed inside the heads of the North players, unbridled joy welled in the eyes of the ~~Gleneig~~ players, overflowed down their cheeks and allowed them to hug and kiss each other in celebration of a memorable victory.

	They are a proud club... with reason, for they give their loyal members and supporters a good run for their money. They win more games than they lose. And they always seem to be in the finals.

	Another loss would have been, well, catastrophic. That old line about so and so taking a running jump off the end of the Glenelg Jetty could have stopped being a joke, ~~Gleneig~~'s football director, Harry Kernahan, recognised this yesterday when he said: "This premiership was especially important for 21 men - our 20 players and coach Graham Cornes-because of all the flak that has been thrown at Glenelg players over our losing grand finals. "It was a responsibility that rested heavily on their shoulders. Now, if anyone in SA doesn't believe the grand-final bogy has been laid to rest, he or she is a fool".

	So is there any wonder that Glenelg is nursing a collective hangover today? Or that it will be some time before the cheers, beers and tears subside?		So is there any wonder that Glenelg is nursing a collective hangover today? Or that it will be some time before the cheers, beers and tears subside?
