1988 Grand Final Port 12 12 84 d Glenelg 8 7 55 ABC

Complete ABC coverage from Football Park.
Match review:
Just when you think maybe Port Adelaide are a spent force, that’s when they are at their most dangerous. John Cahill returned to replace Russell Ebert as Magpies Coach and proceeded to lead them to a flag in his first year.
Glenelg kicked 3 early goals and led by 19 points early, but Port eased their way back into the game to lead by 7 at half time. Port Adelaide just got better as the match unfolded and Glenelg were unable to match them. They led by 21 points at ¾ time and ran out winners by 29 points.
For the Magpies, Bruce Abernethy and David Hynes were best and Scott Hodges showed signs of things to come with 4 goals, whereas John Seebohm played well all day at CHB for the Tigers. Glenelg champion Peter Carey had played his final game of SANFL football.

Love when Hodges kicks the first goal in the third and the Norwood fans waving the flag. What were they doing there? Woodville and Port were the reserve grand finalists

That was before Port Adelaide caught a glimpse if their infallibility and fucked it all up.
