1976 Round 7 Woodville 12.13.85 d Port 11.12.78

Contains almost 6 minutes of highlights from Woodville oval. This was the first time Woodville ever defeated Port Adelaide. So many great players featured here!
Notes from highlights:
Marratt takes a strong mark because he can now see the ball.
Sewer kicks a brilliant goal on the run after shrugging a tackle.
Hutton wins a contested ball and kicks to Mulvahill standing alone in the square. Shortly after Hutton kicks one himself on the run.
Max James pulls down a big mark.
Ebert is the third man up at a bounce and calmly collects the ball and hand passes, all in one motion; "that is football at its very best!" "He has won 2 Magarey Medals and he will win more!"
Peter Woite takes a strong mark as does John Roberts.
Parker smashes his face on the back of Gerlach's head and comes off the ground.
Cunningham brilliantly sets up a Natt goal and then kicks one himself from 40 metres, tight in the pocket.
Buff Tyrell takes a superb mark in defence.
Sewer kicks a brilliant goal on the run.
Tyrell is crunched in a contest for the ball and seriously injures his shoulder. With Woodville having played both of their reserves, Tyrell is told to camp in the goal square.
Jackman takes a slips catch in front of goal.
Leon Twelftree kicks the ball from the pocket to Tyrell standing alone in the goal square. In great pain and hardly able to move his left arm, Tyrell marks the ball and puts it through for a goal to give Woodville a lead of more than 6 points late in the final term. He is then leapt upon by 2 excited team mates which can't have improved his shoulder!
The video ends with Woodville's Frank Stemper forcing the ball out of bounds as Woodville hang on for a glorious first ever win over Port Adelaide.

@@darrynaustin6379 Woodvilles highlights not that there were many, shouldn't have come into the competition in the first place, all because of the toffs, what did Woodville achieve?, bugger all.
