History of ANZAC Day Grand Final replay

Postby daveswar » Sun Apr 27, 2014 9:25 am

Hi guys, just wondering if you could settle a bet...when were the Grand Finalists, from the previous year, awarded the honour of playing the ANZAC Day games. I thought it has been this way for a long time...friend thinks mid 90's. Ta.

So Friday was North's first win in an Anzac Day rematch in 53 years. And I was at both games. That is a long time between victories.

Off topic I know, but I often wonder why such strong teams fall away the next season. Sturt were almost unbeatable in 78, but I've got the feeling they fell way off that level in 79?

1954 match mentioned above can't have been a GF replay as West Torrens won '53 Premiership.

Just the other day watched the 1982 Anzac day game between Port and Glenelg, well the one hour highlights package of the game as shown on seven that day. On a good old beta tape too-loved it! What a roler coaster ride, with Port snatching a draw after the siren.

The 1954 West should actually be West Torrens, that is the match. It actually wasn't played on the 25th, but the Monday holiday the following day. The first time a Sunday Anzac Day match was held was in 2010, The years when there were no 25th of April matches after 1947 (the first being in 1948) are: 1948, 1954, 1965, 1971, 1976, 1982, 1993, 1999 and 2004.

Amazingly Centrals had the same record in these matches as G/F with losses to the same teams but in different years
