1984 GF Keith Thomas mark was one of the best things I have seen in football.
1984 GF is the best game of football I have ever seen at any level. The compliment extends to both teams Norwood AND Port.
1978 GF comeback by Norwood to beat Sturt. 29 points down at 3/4 time and win by a point.
1998 ( I think ) Prelim Norwood 4 goals behind Glenelg just going into time on. Norwood kicked 7 goals in 10 mins to win by 3 !


Neutral :
Barrie Robran near the end of his time, knee in a brace, hobbling like an old lady, evaded two Norwood opponents, speared a 40m stab pass between two players 3m apart and hit his team mate on the chest. truly one of the great of football.
Rick Davies in the 1976 GF ..... ffs he won that game for his club. Outstanding effort.

My 1st game there was the 84 grand final. Only missed 97-99 and 2012-13 since then.
For atmosphere, excitement and build up the 95 GF was the best one I have been to.
2000 GF the most memorable for obvious reasons and loved 2004 GF, i know alot of people dont like blow outs but i love them as long as im on the right end.
AFL wise the Hawks 3 point win in 01 against all odds over the choking Power

Kerna's poorly timed spoil on David Wildy in the 1985 GF.

AFL - Tony Hall's goal in an AFL SOO game in 1992. As it left his boot the whole members Grand Stand rose as one, as it never looked like missing!
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

A skinhead who introduced himself as a 'gracious Centrals supporter' coming up and shaking the hands of Eagles fans outside the ground half an hour after the 2006 Grand Final. Classic!

So many memories, here goes - my Top 10:

1. Parachutist dieing when he hit the Concourse Roof in North Eastern Pocket - circa 1986 International Rules Game
2. Stephen Kernahan kicking 10 goals v Victoria - circa 1984 1st State Game under lights
3. Tony Modra's Mark in Southern Goal Square v North Melbourne - circa 1993 'Modra's Year'
4. David Granger belting Graham Cornes - circa 1982 Preliminary Final (Bays by a point)
5. Woodville beating Port in front of 39,000 people - circa 1986 1st Semi Final
6. WWTFC Premiership - circa 2006, finally "One Club" after the merge
7. Balme v Evans in the Northern Goal Square during the anthem - circa 1984 Grand Final
8. Norwood beating the seemingly invincible Sturt by a point - circa 1978 Grand Final
9. Russell Ebert 'punching a footy' with 2 fists, over his head (30 yards) in Peter Jonas' hands on the Eastern Wing - circa 1980, SA v QLD
10. SA beating Victoria by 10 points (Dermie 'dragged' by Sheedy - Marty Leslie gave him a 'bath' that night) - circa 1986 State Game
Stephen Trigg & Rob Chapman are SA Football Patriots

84 GF for Norwood people and as such a legendary game.

97 to break the drought.

Really any final in the 70's or 80s.

1982 West v Torrens mini league. A younger me lined up for Torrens. We sat up near the TV commentators and got told to shut up as made too much noise.

Other games/teams:
1996 1st Semi Woodville beat Port 39,000
First Crows Game

That's you kicked out of the Sham 69 fan club then.

For mine...

93 PF when we thrashed a much older and more fancied Port.
97 GF when we thrashed Port.
84 GF when we beat a much more fancied Port.
99 GF when we lost to Port but remains one of the best games of footy I've seen.

2010 Finals series at training when my eldest (and at the time time only) lad just walked around the stadium, oblivious to the guernsey he'd been forced to wear.

Plenty of other memories good and bad .. One way or another tomorrow will add to them
