Wedgie, don't mean to be picky, but I was ready what you had for Port's Grand Final records, you had us down for 26 premierships. Sorry, we have 36 premierships.

It's from 1931 onwards.

[PortAdelaideProud]

So it is. My bad. Didn't see that. All I saw was that he had us down for 26 premierships.

[RoosterMarty]

Go Panthers

[RustyCage]

Stats show how good a pick up John Baird has been.

[MightyEagles]

Plus not all premierships were won with finals.
In the early days, there were years where there was no finals played eg. 1880 Adelaide won the premiership when there was no finals played that year.

[Adelaide Hawk]

South by 19 points.

[Thiele]

South by 20 points

[Mr66]

I'm pretty sure that South last played a final @ Adelaide in 1966, losing
the 1st Semi Final to North 15.14.104 to 11.13.79.

Yes they did. It was Neil Kerley's last game as South Adelaide captain-coach.

[MightyEagles]

Port by 4 goals at 1/2 time. BOO!

[Magpiespower]

According to Russ, Port are gawn!

South...17.11 (113)
Port.......15.8 (98)

[Magpiespower]

Twenty metres out and Clive...goals!

South...18.11 (119)
Port.......16.8 (104)

[Magpiespower]

26 minutes gone...

South...18.12 (120)
Port.......16.8 (104)

[Magpiespower]

All over.

South...18.12 (120)
Port.......16.8 (104)

South's first finals win since 1990.

[Rik E Boy]

PANTHERS!! First since 1990.

Congratulations to South Adelaide, you really deserved to win this game. You completely outclassed us in the second half.

Well done and good luck next week.
