1977 Grand Final Port 17.11 113 d Glenelg 16.9 105 New version with superior footage

This video contains the entire match from Football Park. First, second and fourth quarters contain updated, improved footage. Match report: "It’s taken us a bloody long time, but Geez it’s worth it”, remarked a jubilant Russell Ebert as he accepted Port Adelaide’s first premiership in 12 seasons, perhaps appropriate that the state’s most successful football club won the premiership in the centenary of SA football. The match was played in brilliant spring conditions and was tight all day with the Tigers leading by 5 points at ¼ time, Port by 10 at half time, and again by 9 at ¾ time. The most infamous event was the Tim Evans – Fred Phillis clash, I still don’t know what happened there, perhaps someone can tell me. Port Adelaide kicked away early in the final term but Glenelg came back hard to challenge for the flag. Then Port steadied to win a great match. Brian Cunningham and Russell Ebert starred and Tim Evans booted 7 goals for the Magpies, whilst Kym Hodgeman was best and Bob Paech booted 5 goals for the Tigers.
