Can you confirm what year it was that Norwood smashed my team, Port, by about 100 points or so, i think it was 87 although could have been 86. I recall it was a double header, Centrals played another club in the early game. Do you have any details on this Port/Norwood game ie best player/goalkickers?



Thanks

This was a topic of discussion at the footy tonight and neither CP, myself or GWW could remember..

Only got the quarter scores for this one:

Round 13 1987
Norwood 5.8 12.12 16.17 25.22 (172)
Port 4.4 6.7 8.11 13.12 (90)
Football Park, 24323 (D/H)

The other game was this:

Torrens 9.3 12.6 18.9 24.15 (159)
Central 4.4 7.9 9.13 12.17 (89)

Central kicked 12.17 the next week, as well.

Maaaaaaaan you're quick

Yep that would be the one, thanks Spelly.

Brings back bad memories of that game , but still at least i remembered what year it was

And WT a 9 goal opening quarter

Actually just on WT, i think they thrashed Port around the same era, at Footy Park, although i think that was 86. I probably wouldn't want to mention these games if we didn't win the flag in 88, 89 and 90

Round 7 1985
Torrens 6.7 9.11 16.18 24.23 (167)
Port 2.4 4.10 5.13 10.16 (76)
Football Park, 15538

In 1986, Torrens defeated Port at Alberton - the only victory there after 1974, even though Torrens finished bottom in 1986.

Round 6 1986
Torrens 4.4 8.6 10.6 16.10 (106)
Port 1.5 2.8 8.14 9.19 (73)
Alberton, 7479

Yeah it was the 85 game i was thinking of, that was when Port was at their very worst in the 80's. WT had some good players back then though with 2 x Lindsay, Fotia, Robson, Christiansen etc etc.

Only 'cause I was on here to post another topic.

Good call on the year GWW .. Honestly can't remember the game at all, although I remember watching Grenville play for Torrens v CDFC at Footy Park sometime in the 80's, so perhaps it was that day?

Amazed that I can't remember such a result particularly against the arch enemy - Might have to blame our club sponsor for that one

That would be the match, he kicked 8.1 and Scott Morphett was the best player.

Not the first time that a woman has said that to Spelly.

IIRC, Norwood has beaten Port twice by 100+ points, 1982 & 1997.

Harsh.. very harsh Mr66..

Both Norwood Premiership years too...

I wont forget 1997 in a hurry.. I was the only Port supporter amongst about 30 Norwood supporters on the hill...

Probably the last time they had a full house on Anzac day too... bring back the Port v Norwood Anzac day clash for mine.. you might actually get some people to the game.. crowd was over 20,000 wasn't it?

FC has always been impressed with my quick draw footy stats.

Not quite 20,000.

Firstly:

Round 21 1982
Norwood 6.4 13.8 20.11 28.17 (185)
Port 2.3 3.7 8.9 10.13 (73)
Norwood, 17667

Round 5 1997
Norwood 2.6 8.8 12.17 21.23 (149)
Port 1.0 1.0 2.2 4.3 (27)
Adelaide, 18961

That is the highest minor round attendance for a match from 1991.

Norwood v Port in 96 the 2nd highest Spelly?

That would be the Round 1 1958 match, between Port and Norwood - 37,290 was the attendance.

In 1990 the record single match attendance at Football Park was registered between those clubs (36,390), in Round 2.

No, I'm pretty sure it was a Port Norwood Grand Final about that time at Adelaide Oval, before all the seating was put in and people stood on the mounds.

Edit: Ah... found it -
