Yeah think it was probably Elim/'Semi weekend when both Sturt and North Melbourne as Minor Premiers had the weekend off.

As far as I can ascertain it was politically motivated. Early in the season, Nunan went on an overseas government funded trip with his ministerial boss. Remember this was the time when most states including ours were setting up sporting academies and Nunan was at the forefront of ours.
When he got back mid season, Jack Oatey is alleged to have said that Nunan would probably spend the rest of the year in the reserves.
One important point to make is that Nunan was of the left politically whereas the vast majority of Sturt were of the right.
Anyway Nunan was either sacked or quit depending on who you talk to.
When Norwood won the Grand Final by a point, Nunan declared that he wished they could have won the game by 1/2 a point just to increase the anguish at Sturt.
Later in life Nunan certainly reconciled with Oatey, but interestingly he wasn't named as rover in a team selected by Oatey as the best players he coached at Sturt.

Odd that someone from the left would end up at Norwood, given he may have moved because of pressure from the right.

Don Dunstan had been Member for Norwood until '79. While the area has always had a smattering of Laborites.
Early in the state's history, Norwood was regarded as a working-class suburb.

Interesting.
