Now before everyone starts crapping on about Norwood winning from 5th in 1984, they had a 7 day break between the prelim and GF that year, which wasn't the norm at the time.

Not sure about '89, but they definitely did in 1990.

Yep, Port certainly had three uses of the gale in 1989, but it wouldn't have mattered. Their defence was awesome. People probably don't remember that they did almost the same job against Norwood in the 1988 Second Semi Final when Norwood scored 2 goals 5 behinds for the match. That game the wind didn't change and Norwood's two goals came within a couple of minutes from their Centre Half Back, Rodney Maynard.

The game was played in beautiful conditions, but that Port defence just seemed impassable in 88' and 89'. Actually thought the Bays did well in the GF to get as close as they did.

The Port Half Back line in 1988 of Abernethy, Greg Phillips and Martin Leslie is the best SANFL half back line that I have ever seen in my 50 odd years of watching the SANFL. It was impassable and at the same time attacking.
I would have loved to see the Port defence come up against the West forward line of 1983 (the best attack that I have ever seen).
Remember in 1990 Port had a number of injuries and still won the flag.

Add in Delaney (pre Fitzroy), Fiacchi, Rizonico, Foster etc etc, and our backline was the cornerstone of the side. Add in Hodges, the Smiths, Tregenza, Johnston, Hynes etc, and we had more than enough to cover sides who were supposedly "better on paper".
It would have been interesting if the Crows didnt come in in 1991, as to how things would have been throughout the early to mid 90s. All hypothetical obviously and the floodgates from the SANFL to AFL clubs would have still happened, but perhaps not quite to the same extent.
