Eberts kick was only 24 hours after Gubby Allen famously kicked across Goal for Collingwood, allowing Simon Beasley in to mark and win the game on the siren for Footscray

I remember Gilbert McAdam standing out of bounds in the north-western pocket of Football Park, dodging opposition players (Roosters? don't remember that detail so well) charging at him while he held the ball valiantly over the boundary line, just in play; then taking a couple of steps inside the boundary before dropping the ball onto his boot and splitting the centre of the northern goals.
Ah, that old McAdam Magic....
I remember that goal well. It was in the last quarter of a night match on a Monday night between North and Central. It was either the first or second minor round game of the year. Gilbert McAdam had a very quiet night, he only had 8 kicks if my memory serves me correctly but he did three of the most mercurial things imaginable. I said to mates on Magarey medal night that if Gilbert gets votes in that game against North then he will win the medal. He duly polled I think one vote and the rest is history. There was some dispute as to whether he deserved votes or not, but we had to remember that the Magarey Medal is for Fairest and Most Brilliant and certainly even though he was a long way from the best that night he was certainly the most brilliant.

Having seen umpteen replays of Eddie Betts' goal on the weekend (thanks to the smalltown mentality of the Adelaide media) it brought to mind the goal spoken about above. Is there video footage of this particular piece of McAdam magic anywhere? I've trawled Youtube but come up blank.

Go to YouTube to see it...literally 20 minutes from the end of the video or so.

Great goal. Very good North Adelaide line up, I expect they went well that year.

there is footage of this goal on glenelgs 1985 highlights on our wiki, dunno how to dig it out and put it up here, my 2 teenage boys were gobsmacked when i showed them about 3 months ago
