1972 Grand Final North 19.14 128 d Port 10.12 72

The complete match plus a couple of minutes of celebrations from Adelaide Oval. This was a test colour broadcast conducted by Channel 9 and was the first grand final broadcasted in colour. Match report: In a turnabout from the previous year, Port Adelaide were the better team in the first half leading by 8 points at half time, but a rejuvenated North ran all over the Magpies to record a 56 point victory and back-to-back premierships. Once again it was Barrie Robran in concert as he dominated the match with his uncanny skills. Mike Patterson proclaimed him the champion as he raised Robran’s arm at the end of the match. Dennis Sachse booted 6 goals for the Roosters while Russell Ebert was best and Trevor Grimwood booted 4 goals for the Magpies.Acting captain Bob Hammond accepted the trophy for the Roosters.
