I have to question that comment. Port won flags in 1962, 1963, 1965, 1977, 1979, 1980 and 1981 - a total of 7 flags in that time.
If you consider 1984 still early '80s Norwood won flags in 1975, 1978, 1982 and 1984 - a total of 4 flags in the period you quote.
7 flags to 4 is hardly neck and neck through the 60s to early 80s.
If you had said your club and Port being neck and neck in that period you would have been closer to the truth.

Sorry, I shoud have clarified, TOTAL premierships. I Norwood had 25 flags by 1984, Port had 26. Norwood started the 60's with 21 flags and Port with 19, meaning that Port passed Norwood's total in 1965. Norwood equalled in 1975, etc.

That's how I read it.

Bar the 00's most of us would struggle to remember a time that Port were not having a successful period. The biggest lean period in most people's memory would be the gap from '65 - '77.
7 in the 50's
3 in the 60's
2 in the 70's
4 in the 80's
7 in the 90's

Balme and Evans.
Fantastic as a supporter of any club.
Maybe not for these guys.
For those that are old enough to remember,
Granger and the rest.
Done what he was told to do.

I doubt he would have done that had there been more than one of him actually.
I think we can safely say that Granger was not a plural.

Sturt, now for the first time in history, have gone 2 flags ahead of the Roosters.

Many years ago, if I remember correctly there was a stat showing Port played in a GF (or finished top 3, can't quite remember now) in every 3rd year, either for their entire existence or since early 1900's.
Whilst Norwood have been up there at times, it's worth remembering we won several of our flags before the introduction of GF's, not sure about Port.

I think the stat is a little bit more astounding than that JK.
They have made the top two about every second year.
73 top two finishes over the history of the SANFL.
Norwood and North (the next on the list of top two finishes) combined have finished top two 79 times.
