I was under the impression “the big 4” was in relation to these clubs having such large supporter bases compared to the rest of the league.

From memory the score was NA 14.16 to GL 8.23, played @ Prospect Oval from memory, the 1973 Tigers were a very good side, use to go and watch them every Saturday back then.

14.13 to 8.22

Regardless, your memory is better than Glenelg was in 1973.

cornes and marker both off injured early in that match, was the first time i travelled in the cheersquad bus to a game at age 10

Watching the replay for the 10th time, each time I find something new to appreciate!

So what were the reasons why Glenelg won the 2019 Premiership ?
From what Ive heard and read, it rightly appears the main reason was the influence of coach Mark Stone

There might be other reasons that were contributing factors
If so , what might they be ?

I'd say winning the GF was the main reason Mal.

VERY good coach.

From an outsiders perspective, looked as though all the players bought in to the Coaches plan. Added the cattle required to compliment those developed through the club system or recruited in previous years. It's always a balance rather than just 1 thing.

From Round 1 when I saw my mob fall in against the Bays, I thought they were the likely premiers. Every single time thereafter that opinion was only bolstered. An exceptional side.

Nick Chigwidden was interviewed on the Hayes/Cornes SEN radio show 28/10


Mentioned was :
The club was in crisis in 2016
Since those times some great people were brought into the club

So it appears that the club has ended up with
Good coach
Good players
Good hierarchy

A good combination of factors

Typically, you ask for confession if you've done something wrong.

First mail out is next week IIRC.

Pretty poor. Most of it was printed in June, no real reason for despatch to be delayed.

They were, we just didn’t know who we were beating in the GF
