PTV: Friday Flashbacks - 1979 SANFL Grand Final

Port Adelaide defeats South Adelaide in the 1979 SANFL Grand Final after Tim Evans boots four goals and the Panthers only convert three in the second term.
Watch out for the young Mark Williams early on!

Probably the worst weather I can recall in a grand final - wind was a monsoon

Bomber Clifford couldn't find his game day Gurnsey so they dug up one from 1905 . 1:41 😁 PS nice screw punt from Bomber. He did the same in the Port v Glenelg GF of 1981. Dropped a bomb from 70 metres out. Handy recruit from the Collingwood Magpies. Wasn't flashy but got a lot of the ball. ...a bit like a Powell Pepper or Ollie Wines.

The 1st of 3 premierships in a row for Port Adelaide in the 1979 SANFL grand final. Port Adelaide 9.9.63 d South Adelaide 3.15.33. Since that time right up to this year (2017) South Adelaide have not played in a SANFL grand final, the 1979 grand final has still being their last to this point. Hopefully a SANFL grand final appearance is not far off for South Adelaide.

Anyone know who the umpires were?

South's score was 3.14.32. Has been for forty years. Why do people get basic facts wrong?
