Yes, that's the game - Ebert got 5 possessions in the prelim final loss against Collingwood, which was an aberration given his form throughout the season. Here's his stats at North Melbourne:

Pretty impressive, 5 games over 30 touches (41 in one game), and another 7 games over 20 touches.

I always remember Peter Marker's battles with Ebert. The only Glenelg player who would break even with Ebert and on some occasions out shined him.

Let that be a lesson to you Sturt. You don't beat Glenelg 3 times in a row in Grand Finals and get away with it.

Peter Marker beat Ebert clearly in the 1970 and 1974 Preliminary Finals. Overall he had the better of Ebert in most games. It is not to say that he was a better player, it is just that he had more explosive pace off the mark which he utilised in those big games.
