There would be more people if South make it as so many neutrals would come and support them.

Bloody bandwagonners, unlike me who has been a member all year!

I'll jump on the bandwagon with one proviso. I want to hear the Yee-Oh chant that reverberated around Adelaide Oval in 1964. As a 9 year old I never understood what it meant but it certainly was spine-tingling. Can any other old timers tell me why South supporters used to chant it?

Also if it is a Norwood vs South Grand Final will it be the first time these two teams have clashed in a Grand Final since 1899? Given that they are two of the three oldest clubs in the league that is remarkable.

Yes the the Yee-oh chant is still used by a few panther tragics- mainly by the more senior members and supporters. Im unsure but I was once told that the "Ye-ohs" refers to South being called "Ye Old Freshwaters" back in the 1870s/80's and 90's. They were called the freshwaters because the River Torrens was then the source of fresh water for the colony back then, and it was central to South Adelaides original district.

Yes, Im pretty sure that if South do make the GF v Norwood it would be the first time the 2 sides have met in the GF since 1899. South won 6 flags and were runners up twice in the 1890s.

Norwood and South are in fact the 2 oldest existing clubs in the SANFL. The Port Adelaide Football ceased to exist a few years ago when they merged in the "One club" deal with the Port Adelaide AFL football club. Port Adelaide are no longer a member club of the SANFL.They now have a reserves side in the SANFL under license from the SA Football commission.

Go the thers!!!!

Beat the scum & the sellouts the week after

You'd have to be truly deluded not to know this already.

Go Panthers, reckon I'll be buying my first ever piece of non-Norwood SANFL merchandise for next Sunday's game.

Not really, we are borrowing one from Sturt now that their 'supporters' no longer need it.

I thought Glenelg had the biggest bandwagon when in use

Norwood had a reasonable contingency at the last two grand finals. Didn't see many of them in the rain on a Friday night in 2004 - 2008 when were getting smashed regularly

Go South.

Norwood v Port Grand Final, the best thing for the SANFL in any era.

Port ( one club/ afl club) Power shouldn't be anywhere in our finals...... the GF should be this week Norwood vs South , end of dog's breakfast!

Sorry Boon man I think you will find pre 1900 South V Norwood were the marquee games.

Sure can, Norwood ripped North a new one in the GF. Was good to watch.
