1992 Grand Final Recall - Buckley's Year

Port Adelaide past players reflect on the 1992 Grand Final win over Glenelg and Nathan Buckley's year.

[@kurtflahavin5994]

Nathan Buckley is a true legend of Australian Rules football.

[@roostersbays95]

he is still to young to be a legend...but yes i agree...

[@jblvxk]

Hodgey is better

[@harrysfunkystuff7518]

He is a pro genius!

[@johnjamesflashman6856]

The Collingwood board what have you done???

[@jpgrygus]

too bad Port lost him to Collingwood. had he stayed with Port......or even Brisbane, he wouldve had an AFL premiership.

[@danishskiwarehouse]

Don’t forget that North wanted him, too, but he refused. So he could have won flags with North, Brisbane or Port, and possibly added to the flags that those teams won. But he chose Collingwood…

[@TheMicturation]

counts every possession ? WTF,thats 14 yr old stuff,odd to say the least for a 20 yr old young man,red flags right there undoubted ability,but its about the team and its no wonder he never ever figured in a premiership after this as a player or coach,does that PA team of '92 win the flag w/o him ? were they good enuff,id be interested to hear

[@timn4481]

yes they were. they won by 10 goals..

[@dillonpoole6598]

bucks was a great footy player

[@mysticmike9125]

His old man sent him across the state to play for port adelaide. Let that sink in... just goes to show how respected this club is

[@SammyBoyy300]

A shame he didn’t stay with Port Adelaide

[@Somchai007]

He was too good not to move on to the AFL

[@albertrennie5585]

Best looking guernsey in Australian football.

[@paulcatalano1441]

I bet bucks will be ports next coach after hinkley

[@jpgrygus]

i hope so. I called it a few weeks ago.......either Buckley or Basset.

Territory boys bounce in the wet,lol

[@lucyxx5895]

All class. 👏🏻

[@gregmayo6987]

Bring him to the power as midfield coach

[@mysticmike9125]

Bucks would be a good assistant at the power

[@MHRT-SS]

Probably cost himself 3-4 flags by staying with collingwood Should have went back to Port and lead the squad

[@luvamystery]

Too good a footballer to make a decision like that to ruin what should have been. Sad.

[@albertrennie5585]

We would have beat west coast in 92

[@donjohns4878]

Should have stayed with Port. The real Magpies.

Black and white forever... go Port Adelaide magpies

[@spade6240]

collingwood had black and white and the magpie name before port adelaide

[@donjohns4878]

@@spade6240 very true sir. Collingwood had magpies first and are deserving wearers of the black and white. However Port were formed 21 years before Collingwood and only request to wear their iconic jumper once a year. not to hard to do is it?

[@Gertzy41]

Buckley you could have written your own check! Stayed in sunny Brisbane and played and captained the lions to 3flags 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Winning flags with Brisbane doesn't even count hahaha

3 time premiership captain 👋

[@paulkyriakopoulos3444]

A premiership winner in a c grade league. Couldn't achieve the ultimate premiership in the . A. F. L.

[@EarlJohn61]

At the time, the SANFL was considered to be the 2nd best League in the entire continent... Only the VFL was better. And there were some clubs in the VFL (Carlton, Essendon) that thought that Norwood & Port Adelaide would be more than competitive in an expanded VFL that would've dropped a couple of Melbourne based teams to accommodate the 2... But "saner" heads prevailed... South Melbourne & Fitzroy nearly went bankrupt and had to leave the state, Footscray had to re-invent itself & then they added a team from WA...

[@DedMan516]

​@@EarlJohn61 spot on. Even to this day, SANFL is the strongest league in the land other than the AFL itself.

[@mattl9831]

As a Collingwood fan, it's an absolute outrage that Port can't wear their prison bar jumper in the AFL. Embarrassing the way McGuire & our club carry on about this. Manchester United, Liverpool & Arsenal seem to work it out in a league 1000 times bigger than AFL. I'd love to see Port tell the AFL to shove it & wear it for all games & make them take you to court.
