PREDICTION
Well, we probably shouldn’t win this. We hate playing against North Melbourne, always have. We haven’t played well this year really. North are coming off a surprise loss to Western Bulldogs. They’ll be fired up and want to get one back. But….for some ungodly reason, I think we might win this one. There is no expert analysis why, just a feeling deep in my guts that we will get up. It may just be gas from the onions I had with dinner though.

1992 vs Glenelg – Two Young Guns
Port Adelaide had a point to prove in 1992. They had a disappointing end to the 1991 season and wanted to prove to the South Australian football public that they were still the kings of this town.
Port went into the clash with Glenelg on a high, having thrashed WWT, Central, Sturt & South on the way to a 6-1 win/loss record before the match at the Bay. They had the number 1 forward in the league in Mark Tylor and 2 of the 3 early favourites for the Magarey Medal. However, they went into the Glenelg match undermanned, with the likes of Stephen Williams, Bruce Abernethy, Greg Phillips, David Brown, Scott Hodges, Gary Smallridge, Richard Foster & Paul Kemp either injured or playing at AFL level. It gave the chance for youngsters Troy Bond, Julian Burton and Mark Dittmar to impress for a regular spot in the side.
It was however the two best teenage guns in the state in Brett Chalmers and Nathan Buckley who were the stars of the show. They had almost single handedly pulled Port Adelaide out of the mirth that was the 84 point Elimination Final defeat and started the 92 season with a bang. Brett, an 18 year old athletic ruckman had impressed with his huge leap and super-human kick, making the best players in the first 7 matches of the season. Nathan, a 19 year old pacey long kicking midfielder had become the most sought after prospect outside of the AFL. Equal Magarey Medal favourite with Brodie Atkinson, he had made the best players in 6 of the first 7 matches of the season.
It was a fast paced physical opening to the match, with Pat Brosnan getting reported in the first quarter for a behind the play elbow to the head on John Seebohm. Michael Murphy opened the scoring with a goal for Glenelg, but it wasn’t long before Mark Tylor kicked his first for the day after a bullet pass from Rohan Smith.
It was the second quarter though where the game was blown wide open. David Hutton kicked his first after some quick hands by Buckley. After Clayton Lamb responded with a goal of his own, Port Adelaide went on a 3 goal burst including two more goals to Mark Tylor, and a superb 40 metre goal on the run from Pat Brosnan. Port Adelaide led by 23 points at the main change with Brett Chalmers dominant in the ruck, Nathan Buckley and Tim Ginever winning plenty of the ball in the middle, and a concussed (thanks to Michael Murphy) Paul Rizonico controlling the half back line.
Glenelg weren’t finished with yet, closing the gap to 9 points late in the third quarter and looking well in the match with Michael Murphy on 5 goals and the likes of David Marshall and Andrew McKay sending them into attack with regularity. Port steadied with Mark Tylors 6th goal to lead by 20 points at the final change.
Dwayne Kretchmer kicked the first for Glenelg and with the margin at 14 points, it looked like the match would go down to the wire. But it wasn’t to be for the Bays, with Port going on a 5 goal run in the space of 10 minutes which blew the margin out to 39 points and the match over. Mark Tylor finished the day with a massive 8 goals. Darren Smith kicked only the single goal, but was dominant across half forward, dishing off 4 goals after strong marks. Brett Chalmers had a huge game in the ruck until rested late in the game, whilst Nathan Buckley was as smooth as always, setting up countless attacks with clearance after clearance from the stoppages.
Bucks would move to outright Magarey favouritism after the match and wouldn’t look back on the way to winning the award. He would become the games premier midfielder throughout the 90s and 00s, winning a Rising Star, a Brownlow and multiple Best and Fairests. Brett’s career didn’t turn out as planned at the highest level, but he became a Port Adelaide hero with 4 premierships and a Jack Oatey Medal before retiring at his peak at the age of 27 due to a degenerative knee condition.
