I was only young but im sure it was some of the worst rain i'd ever seen. I just remember the crowd (not many) all bundled into the highest point of the members grandstand as i think that was the only section open for some reason.
Could be completely wrong I was only 10 at the time haha

Started early Feb, used to be double headers Fri and Sat night at Footy Pk probably with one game in the country and most was on TV.
Went through till the early 90s I think.
Usually about 4 weeks round robin with a final of the top 2.
Quarters were a tad shorter and I'll never forget the game Glenelg came back and beat Sturt I think it was despite being down by 59 points at 3/4 time.
Kicked something like 10.0 to 0.0 with a goal after the siren.
Geez, that's about 40 years ago now.
