Port Adelaide's First Premiership

[oldtimer2]

It is 130 years since Port Adelaide finally achieved its goal of winning the premiership as the best club in the colony. It was clearly the best club in the competition during the course of the season. The team was extremely strong, talented and competently lead by the experienced veteran and former Carlton player, Richard Turpenny. His strength in leadership was in no small measure responsible for the Port team being such a formidable and successful unit. The players obviously carried out his instructions and guidance.
