1968 Grand Final Sturt 12.18 90 d Port 9.9 63 newsreel footage

Black and white newsreel highlights of the 1968 Grand Final from Adelaide Oval. Match report: Sturt’s third flag in a row, and all of them against Port Adelaide. A tight first half but Sturt took control in the third term to lead by 31 points at the final break, eventually running out winners by 27 points. My memories of this match were Peter Endersbee’s 2 superb checkside goals in the scoreboard pocket, and Eric Freeman coming on after ½ time to kick 2 goals after a successful tour of England with the Australian cricket term. Paul Bagshaw was best on ground, and Bob Shearman accepted the cup in John Halbert’s absence. An 18 year old Russell Ebert made his Grand Final debut in this match.
