It's probably this game:

Round 20 1979
Torrens 7.3 8.9 11.11 14.13 (97)
West 6.4 6.7 12.7 14.11 (95)
Richmond, 3528

Scorers from the history of West Torrens book (Torrens scorers only)
Lindsay 3.0, Dabrowski, Hewett, Rendell 2.1, Giles, S.White (probably who you are referring to Mickyj), Hill, Marriott, Jackman 1.1, Phillipou, McSporran, Manouge, G.White 0.1, Rushed 0.1.

Gees wouldn't that rip your heart out? Losing Grand Finals is one thing but to be 53 points at 3/4 time and lose. I can't get my head around that.

Not sure what game that was, but it certainly wasn't the 1957 Grand Final. The 1957 GF scores were:

East Fremantle 0-6 2-7 7-15 10-18 78
East Perth 1-4 6-7 7-7 9-8 62

Well spotted. I just looked it up. It was the preliminary final not the grannie.

It's not the biggest turnaround, nor even the oldest, but it's the one that hurts the most...

1978 Grand Final. Sturt 5 -ish goals in front at three quarter time, only to lose by a point.

Nearly thirty years later, it still hurts. Ouch :)

He didn't win a Reserves Magarey. He did play in a couple of premierships at Perth though before joining West Torrens.
