Physicality


The 1977 Grand Final was a physical affair with Port Adelaide wingman Bruce Light reported for striking, Kym Kinnear taken concussed from the ground, and several other players sustaining injuries throughout the match. Twenty players were involved in a brawl at the half-time siren.


Twenty-four-year-old Randall Gerlach retired after the game after playing for two years with kidney problems.



End of 12-year Premiership Drought for Port Adelaide


The 1977 premiership marked the end of a 12-year period for Port Adelaide without winning a premiership (a long time by club standards). The 1977 premiership was the first of four premierships in five years for Port Adelaide, with premierships in 1979, 1980 and 1981. Port Adelaide supporters voted the 1977 SANFL Grand Final as the fourth-greatest moment of the club's history at Football Park in August 2013.[2]



2007 AFL Heritage Round


In the 2007 AFL Heritage Round, Port Adelaide wore a replica of their 1977 jumper. Playing in the Port Adelaide team were Brett Ebert, son of Russell Ebert; and Chad and Kane Cornes, sons of Graham Cornes.
