Port Adelaide and the Adelaide Crows may be out of contention in this year’s AFL season, but it doesn’t mean there isn’t a lack of footy emanating from South Australia. This afternoon, the South Australian National Footy League will see two teams battle it out for the title decider at Adelaide Oval.
The two outfits – Port Adelaide and Glenelg – have progressed through to the grand final after successfully negotiating their way through both the home and away plus a competitive finals campaign. With Glenelg clinching the minor premiership and the Magpies finishing second, both outfits secured 13 wins and similar percentages.
Glenelg’s penultimate game was a strong win over Adelaide – the Crows’ SANFL affiliate side, denying a chance at a Showdown grand final – but the Tigers did do it the hard way, with a loss to Port two weeks ago briefly denting their finals campaign.
Port Adelaide, for their part, secured the aforementioned semi-final win over Glenelg and a qualifying final victory over arch-rivals Adelaide seeing them secure a place in the final game of the year.
Obviously, past form isn’t a superb predictor – especially in grand finals – but ignoring Glenelg’s loss a fortnight ago, the two other occasions (Round 8 and Round 14) these two teams met ended in strong Glenelg victories, showcasing their prowess against the Magpies.
There’s a huge amount at stake for both outfits. Glenelg hasn’t made a premiership decider since 2008, and hasn’t won a SANFL premiership since 1985! Port, too, have had a long drought – not winning a flag since 1999.
Port have made the only change out of the two line-ups; AFL-listed forward Aidyn Johnson has been suspended and will miss. Glenelg head in unchanged. Both sides have added four players to their 25 man list, which will be trimmed to 21 players by the beginning of the clash.
Prediction
Both have a helluva lot to work for, but I’ll give the nod to Port Adelaide. They’ve been undefeated in their finals series thus far, and expect them to narrowly defeat Glenelg.
Port by 7.
