What was the best game you have seen in your time watching the SANFL-whether it's live, watching on TV or having seen it on DVD.
Bear in mind this is about SANFL H & A games, finals, grand finals-not State of Origin games.
The two games for mine are:
1973 SANFL Grand Final-Glenelg v North Adelaide: North were going for a hat-trick of 3 SANFL premierships in a row, the Tigers their first since 1934. Late in the last, North looked to have the game wrapped up with minutes to go. Glenelg would not give up and moved the ball forward where Graham Cornes took possibly the best grab in SANFL Grand Final history and snatched the lead for Glenelg. Sandland later scored a goal to make the margin 7 points and win Glenelg's first SANFL premiership since 1934.
1984 SANFL Grand Final-Port v Norwood: Where do you start? A collection of outstanding SA football talent-Ebert, Evans, Bradley, Ginever for Port, McIntosh, Aish, Thomas, Roberts for the Redlegs; the Balme-Evans incident while the National Anthem was played (why did the SANFL not ask the two teams to line up in single file facing each other for the anthem?)and the all-in brawl 30 seconds later ; Keith Thomas's courageous mark; and Norwood becoming the first side to win the premiership from fifth spot.
