HOME AWAY FROM HOME

BY PETER CORNWALL

It was built on swamplands in a desolate coastline area. Football Park was talked about like it was miles from anywhere and photos of its early development reveal why people thought like that, yet it was situated just 13 km north-west of Adelaide.

It was known for the cold, windy, wet weather that could decide a game and dampen the spirits of the most hardened footy fan. A vast concrete bowl with next to no cover, supporters who took on the elements standing in the outer in its debut season in 1974 dubbed it ‘Pleurisy Park’. But it wasn’t long before it became an integral part of life in SA. When about 80,000 fans rocked up to see Sturt shock Port Adelaide in the 1976 grand final it clearly had proved its value, and its acceptance, as SANFL’s headquarters. The State’s biggest sport finally had a home of its own, securing independence from cricket that had for so long ruled the way at Adelaide Oval.

As stands grew, seats filled the outer and comfort levels soared it became a home away from home for fans. But nothing came easy.

Lighting to usher in the crucial new era of night footy brought opposition from local residents who had moved in after the arrival of Football Park and it took five years and a Royal Commission before the ground finally lit up. Footy Park’s powerful floodlights propelled a wonderful era of exciting State-ofOrigin footy firmly into the spotlight, the bumper crowds and electric atmosphere of the 1980s still fondly recalled decades later.

AFL footy and the Crows arrived with a bang in 1991, Port Adelaide following in 1997. By the time what was then known as AAMI Stadium closed the gates after its last game, the 2013 SANFL grand final won by Norwood against North Adelaide, there was plenty of

sadness and innumerable fond memories. It was the end of a remarkable era of SA football.

MATCH PREVIEWS

was the elusive part of the puzzle, only Norwood scoring less than Central last season. It may be just two games into 2024 but the Doggies, who averaged 60 points per game last year, have been on the attack with scores of 14.9 (93) and 15.7 (97) in impressive wins against North and Adelaide. Against the Crows, Aiden Grace and Dale Pearce each bagged five goals. Pearce, who played in the Eagles’ 2019 under-18 premiership before a stint with Port Districts, has played just nine games with the Dogs but his goalkicking might be the missing link.

South’s young line-up is having to grow up in a hurry with a horror injury list of 15 players, including key men Oscar Clavarino, Kobe Mutch, Arlo Draper and Sam Skinner, along with teenage sensation Sid Draper. The youngsters will have learned a lot from last week’s loss to Sturt and Hayden Sampson (34 disposals and six clearances) is an outstanding example of what to follow.

GLENELG V ADELAIDE

SOUTH V CENTRAL Central District coach Paul Thomas is determined his northern suburbs community be proud of the footy club that has been such a huge part of his family’s life. He’s clearly succeeding in his mission. There has been constant improvement for Central under Thomas since he took charge in 2021 and the dedication of plenty of people to lift all facets of 4

the club – leading to last year’s women’s flag – sees a new level of confidence at Elizabeth. The Dogs’ league side last season played finals for the first time since 2017, knocking Port Adelaide out in the elimination final. They went from having the eighth-ranked defensive record in 2022 (conceding 80 points per game) to third-best (average 66).

Putting a decent score on the board

It’s not so much the loss you have that matters, it’s how you react to it. And the Tigers and Crows will be keen to show their Round 2 defeats are not what they’re all about.

Glenelg was outworked and beaten in the contest at Norwood, overwhelmed in a goalless third quarter in a 24-point defeat.

Skipper Liam McBean will be back and will make a huge difference but the Bays have a long wait before key ruckman Cam McGree (broken collarbone) returns and he was sorely missed as Harry Boyd dominated The Parade airways.

Each time the Tigers were beaten last season they bounced back with a crucial win and it’s hard to see they won’t rebound at home. But the Crows had one of their best

wins last year at the Bay, by 20 points in Round 13, after being edged out by just two in Round 8 so, with Michael Godden holding the reins again after performing AFL duties in the first two rounds, they won’t be daunted by what’s ahead. And they will be wanting to react to last week’s 55-point loss to Central.

NORTH V STURT Like the Bays and Crows, North has a point to prove. The Roosters were expected to show last year’s absence from the finals was just a hiccup but their fans are concerned it’s something much more serious after losses to Central (27 points) and the Eagles (92 points). The margin against the Eagles was concerning. “It was the first time since I took over as senior coach we got beaten in every aspect of the game,” Jacob Surjan lamented, noting his players didn’t have a thirst for the contest. You can expect they will have that in front of their home fans this week.

It’s tough pleasing coaches at the best of times but Blues boss Martin Mattner was “really happy” with his charges after they bounced back from a loss at Norwood to thump South by 65 points at Noarlunga, restricting the Panthers to just five goals. Will Snelling showed why he’s regarded as this year’s hottest recruit by amassing 17 kicks, 21 handballs and 10 tackles, while James Mathews displayed his explosive pace, ability to shark the ball off a pack and deadly left foot in bagging five goals. It’s hardly surprising Mattner described the win as “pretty impressive” considering the Blues were without superstars Tom Lewis and Casey Voss.

NORWOOD V WEST Talk about making a statement.

Throwing down the gauntlet.

Setting the cat among the pigeons.

Or any other cliches you might like to throw in to describe a team that has, in two games, shown clear intent to be a powerhouse SANFL side again. It’s not just the fact Norwood has beaten the grand finalists of 2023 in the first two games of the new campaign, it’s

the way the Redlegs have gone about overwhelming them both, their final margins of 27 points against Sturt and 24 against reigning premier Glenelg not doing justice to their domination.

Restricting both sides to seven goals is a good indication of the fierce pressure, desperate tackling and strong team commitment that has given them a kick-off to the year that could not possibly be more contrasting to last season.

Westies have made a statement of their own. Beating Port Adelaide at Waikerie to snare the Russell Ebert Tribute Match trophy was a huge step in the right direction. But, even more so, it was about believing in themselves, sticking to the plan when they seemed down and out and winning a close one. In the build-up to the 2024 season coach Adam Hartlett said near enough would no longer be good enough after the Bloods last season lost six games by less than two goals. His team has backed those words with action. Hartlett wanted his men to play the moment “when the moment is there – don’t shy away from it, embrace it and be claiming the footy, or laying a strong tackle”.

That’s exactly what they did when they could have conceded as they trailed Port by 16 points 18 minutes into the last quarter. This is how they followed Hartlett’s words to the letter. Skipper Isaac Johnson takes the game on with a stunning running goal from 50m, before Sam May courageously wins the ball at half-back to start a rebound that ends with a Joel Stevens long-bomb

goal. Ned Stevens stunningly snaps around his body for the goal that gives the Bloods the lead before a desperate tackle from Brady Searle stops the Magpies in their tracks.

Then, with seconds remaining, Liam Delahunty, who has stormed back into defence, grabs a matchsaving pack mark. Talk about “embracing the moment”. No wonder Hartlett was happy on the drive back to Richmond.

EAGLES V PORT We reckon new Eagles coach Sam Jacobs would be pretty happy right now. Pre-season he said, “I think we can really start the year well and hopefully build the momentum from there”. How right can you be?

Stunning wins over West (64 points) and North (92) show the sky may be the limit for a club setting its sights high after unusually missing finals two years in a row. “We’re in good shape in terms of all three aspects of the game,” Jacobs said. “The boys are executing well and they’re proving hard to play against.

Offensively we’re in good shape and putting up good scores.” These days, 20.13 and 21.12 are more than just “good scores”.

Port will be looking to stop the Eagles building any more momentum after a win slipped through its fingers after looking in control late against West. The stats showed how much Port did right, leading possessions 328-296, hitouts 54-13 and inside-50s by what should be a matchwinning 52-38.

The Magpies will be looking to make the most of their chances this week. sanfl.com.au

It was something to really cheer about as Central District took on North Adelaide in the first game at Football Park 50 years ago.

THE HISTORY MAKERS

BY ROBERT LAIDLAW

After the SANFL played ‘bridesmaid’ at Adelaide Oval for way too long, the SANFL built its own stadium at West Lakes, with the historic first game at Football Park played on May 4, 1974. Incredibly, now half-acentury ago.

North Adelaide – back-to-back premier in 1971-72, Champion of Australia in ’72 and unlucky runnerup in ’73 – was to play Central District, which had only entered league company a decade before.

But the Bulldogs were not an easy assignment, as they had a taste of finals footy in 1971-72 and boasted a strong line-up.

The Roosters had the best footballer of the time, triple Magarey Medallist Barrie Robran, who, although at his peak, would sustain a devastating knee injury against Victoria on the SCG less than a month later, curtailing his brilliant career.

“It certainly wasn’t a good christening at Football Park for the Rooster faithful,” Robran recalled.

“We may have won the toss and we certainly did kick the first [league] goal but that was about where it ended for the Roosters that day. We were outplayed by a superior Central District team.

“There were no excuses. I do remember the day being a splendid one for playing outdoor sport. Our opposition were very well coached 6

sanfl.com.au

and drilled. Their coach, Tony Casserly, has always been a favourite of mine, both as player and coach. He was always a very strong and positive influence when he played for Central District. They had many talented players during that ‘Casserly era’, but Tony was always the most influential in the field of play.”

And it was Casserly who earned the first touch in that game, jumping over the top of the ruckmen and palming the ball down. The following day’s Sunday Mail recorded the ‘firsts’ for Football Park: knock – Casserly (Central), kick – Zorich (Central), mark – Phillips (North), handball – O’Connor (Central), goal – Hearl (North), point – Chiron (Central) and win – Central.

When highly-respected ABC-TV reporter Mike Sexton was preparing a story on the closing of Football Park a decade ago, he came across some footage of pre-game activities from that first game, which included the first bounce. In reviewing the footage Sexton saw what he thought was North Adelaide’s Terry von Bertouch collecting the first kick of the game, which has created a minor controversy in putting Zorich’s claim to fame in jeopardy.

“My memory is a bit unclear but it wasn’t a clean disposal,” Sexton

said. “Terry forced the ball forward and it was collected by a Central bloke and roosted to the other end.

So, depending on what constitutes a kick, it could have been Terry von Bertouch, or as recorded in history, Tom Zorich.”

As for von Bertouch – the father of Australian netball stars Natalie and Laura, who are married to Norwood premiership footballers Jace Bode and James Gallagher – he is circumspect about the issue. A rover, von Bertouch started in the centre that day and rested in the forward pocket on Bulldogs Hall of Famer Sonny Morey.

“I know I got the first ball from the ruck contest and sent a scrubby little kick out of the centre,” von Bertouch said. “Barry Hearl kicked the first goal but after that the rest of the game is a bit of a blur for me.

We expected to win but we got beaten fairly comfortably. I remember the ground – it was wide open. The stand was on the western side and that was it. The other side of the ground was just one level.

“The following day’s paper had a list of firsts and had Zorich as having the first kick. Well, mum rang up the paper the next day and told them they were wrong, ‘my son had the first kick.’ At that first bounce I was standing Phil Ashmead and I remember asking

him many years later who had the first kick and he still reckons it was Tom Zorich.”

Footage of the last quarter of the historic Football Park game is readily available to view on-line but the opening bounce has apparently been seen by very few people, although the search is still on. As for how Zorich feels about who got the first kick at Football Park, he is a bit ambivalent to it all after the passage of time.

“It was my second league game and I was just in awe of what football had done in developing their own footy oval,” Zorich said.

“I saw Football Park rise from mangrove swamps to a football stadium. And for a kid from Elizabeth, to play some league footy and play that historic game was a thrill.

“When I was selected, there wasn’t any thought other than to play and win the game. Tony (Casserly) primed us up. I was at half-back standing Rodney Robran. Tony got the first touch, Terry (von Bertouch) toe-poked it. I gathered the ball and belted it forward. So, I believe I had the first official disposal – that’s my memory.

“The enormity of playing there

did not register until many years later. It was an honour to play at Football Park.”

Besides von Bertouch, and Barrie Robran, the Roosters line-up included Barrie’s brother Rodney, Hearl, who kicked three goals, David Marsh (four) and John Phillips.

North’s Neil Sachse, who played in this game, transferred to VFL club Footscray the following season and in his second game had a collision that tragically left him a quadriplegic.

The Bulldogs line-up included Dean Mobbs, Peter Vivian, Lyle Skinner, David Saywell, who booted seven goals, and Morey, who a decade earlier recorded the first kick in Central’s first game at league level.

“That game was certainly a historic match,” Morey said. “We won by five goals and Saywell kicked seven. I know we were well primed and we played well. Playing in the back pocket my job was to stand the resting rovers, including von Bertouch, who was a good footballer – slippery, very quick and a good team player. For me, the success I had playing in the back pocket was based on playing up the ground, getting a few metres ahead of my opponent and getting

to the drop of the ball, and let them chase me.

“As for the first kick that day, it definitely was Tom (Zorich). The ball landed in his arms at half-back and he booted the ball deep into attack.

“Football Park back then was a stand on the western side and concrete all the way around – it was just so barren.”

While the ‘firsts’ at Football Park were recorded in the media the day after the game, what about the last game? It was the SANFL grand final between Norwood and North on October 6, 2013. The Redlegs won 10.12 to 4.8 for back-to-back flags for the first time since 1922-23.

Seconds before the final siren sounded, Lewis Stevenson smashed the ball on to his boot for a clearing kick from deep in the Redlegs’ defence, the final official disposal at Football Park. Just earlier, Norwood’s Andrew Kirwan had the final handball, while the Roosters’ Leigh Ryswyk took the last mark.

And the last goal? At the 24.47-minute mark of that final quarter, dual Magarey Medallist Mitch Grigg received a handball from Matt Thomas and kicked truly from just inside the 50m arc.

There’s no debate about that kick. sanfl.com.au

GOAL-DEN GREAT GRENVILLE

BY DION HAYMAN

Had it not been for a chap by the name of Ken Farmer, Grenville Dietrich would be North Adelaide’s all-time greatest goalkicker.

One of the game’s much-loved characters of the 1980s, the now 64-year-old insists his name should adorn the goalposts at Prospect Oval. “One end should be the Farmer End and the other end should be mine,” he said. “If you’re gonna name something after Barrie (Robran), it should be the whole oval. That would be common sense.

It should be the Robran Oval.”

Dietrich is the only player in SANFL history to kick 100 goals in a season twice but never lead the SANFL goalkicking. But, in 1984, he achieved something Farmer – who headed SA’s goalkicking 11 seasons in a row from 1930-40 – could not in his 13 visits to Alberton Oval.

Dietrich booted 10 goals, despite playing in a losing team against the Magpies. Farmer’s best return at Alberton was nine in 1936.

Dietrich’s memories of the day remain vivid. “I went to the footy with Barry Hearl and there was a submarine at Port Adelaide people were going to look at and we went to look at it too, before the game,” he said.

“I know I got a few cheap ones in the first quarter thanks to a few nudges in the back and they paid the marks. I kicked four or five in the first quarter so I reckoned I was in for a good day. I remember one of them was the best pick-up I’d ever done in a league game. Mick Redden’s dobbed one towards me and it’s bounced right in front of me and I’ve half-volleyed it, turned around and went bang and it went through!”

The visitors raced to a 29-point lead at quarter-time but the Magpies gradually overpowered the

Roosters favourite Grenville Dietrich defies gravity as he soars for the ball against Port Adelaide.

Roosters, sending them to the foot of the premiership table with an eighth loss in nine rounds. But it didn’t stop Grenville, who became the first man since Glenelg’s Jack Owens in the 1930s (who achieved the feat twice) to boot a doublefigure tally at Alberton as a visiting player.

His strongest memory of the occasion was the moment his hapless opponent, Dexter Kennedy, was finally relieved of his duties. “I felt sorry for him at the end,” Dietrich recalled. “They moved him in the last quarter when I had nine and the crowd cheered like hell and I really felt sorry for him because he’s one of the nicest blokes you’ll ever meet. I’ll never forget that.”

The Advertiser’s match report was less than complimentary to Dietrich in an era when 10-goal hauls were much more common than today.

“Full forward Grenville Dietrich again finished with a swag of goals, although, when accuracy most mattered at the start of the last term, he could manage only three

points as North mounted its real challenge.”

His bag of 10.4 took his tally to 49 goals for the season, six behind Tim Evans, who kicked seven of his own that day. Dietrich ultimately finished the season with 101 goals, 19 shy of Evans, who then added another seven in the finals.

Dietrich played in two losing grand finals with North before finishing his playing days with West Torrens. He counts his fondest football memory as his State games against Victoria (he kicked four goals) and WA (three) in 1986. “We had 50-odd thousand and they’re all barracking for you.”

These days, Dietrich is largely restricted to his wheelchair or gopher, having had his golden right leg amputated above the knee after a serious fall in 2021. But his outlook on life remains as buoyant as ever, horses now his passion. He has shares in about 40 of them including Just Fine, winner of the Group 1 Metropolitan at Randwick, formally owned by Queen Elizabeth II and later King Charles. sanfl.com.au

CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE

BY NEIL J SMITH

The SANFL History Centre is a unique collection of nearly 150 years of South Australian football history. Housed in Bowden, it contains a diversity of material – photographs, trophies, films, videos, badges, Football Budgets, scrapbooks, footies and memorabilia. The Centre was established in 2014 under the leadership of Christine Halbert and it thrives today thanks to the participation of an enthusiastic group of volunteers.

The volunteers generally gather once a week and set to work accessioning, cataloguing and preserving the material that comes in. The History Centre has been fortunate to use a very suitable program Lucidea, which relies in the first instance on a skilled team working on the appropriate data entry. These records can then be searched by names, clubs, categories, location, dates, etc. It is a museum-based program, which has been adapted for football. It is supported by the AFL and is now in use by more football clubs.

Barbara Page has been particularly important in this project, with her detailed knowledge of Lucidea as well as her significant ties to local football. Her family business, Peter Page Hyundai, has been major sponsor of Central District Football Club for more than 30 years. Her contribution to the club has been acknowledged with the establishment of the Barbara Page Best Team Person Trophy: 10

“The future recipients of the Barbara Page Best Team Person Trophy will be chosen according to their ‘team first’ actions, and these actions are exactly what Barbara is as a role model for our club.” – Greg Edwards, Central District Football Club CEO. The photographic collection at the History Centre goes back to the late 19th century – several of the team spend many hours identifying the players in some of the photos.

Another group has been working on the collection of SA Football Budgets that goes back to the original publications from 1914.

One of the more demanding jobs has been to work through the hundreds of scrapbooks donated by players and their families. Some are incredibly valuable, such as the 28 scrapbooks immaculately compiled by journalist the late Gordon Schwartz.

An extensive video collection has now been digitised, preserving thousands of hours of precious film and video thanks to being able to retrieve the broadcast videotapes of all the local television stations.

One of the team is working his way through identifying more details of what’s been recorded.

LONG-DISTANCE RUNNER

BY PETER ARGENT

Sarah Steele-Park has navigated a unique journey from the NSW rural town of Orange to becoming a premiership player at Prospect in her first SANFLW season. The North Adelaide star’s big engine helps her run huge distances on the footy field after she travelled far and wide to establish herself in the sport.

Steele-Park only had a brief association with our code – playing half a season with the Uni of NSW Stingrays in 2016 – before a teaching placement at Centralian Middle School in Alice Springs in 2021. “I’d played plenty of different sports – soccer, swimming, water polo, did triathlons at State level, played basketball – but my main sport was hockey. I’d played since before I became a teenager,” the 27-year-old recalled. “Mum, Muffy, had two left feet, so didn’t contribute to my athletic genes but she was a strong leader. I grew up playing plenty of rugby in the backyard with my dad, Jock, and brothers Charlie and Ollie.”

In Alice Springs it was all about footy. “The local religion in Alice was Aussie Rules,” Sarah said. “I started playing for the Rovers (in the Central Australian Football League) and with the Pinktails … I’ve had a few footy mentors along the way, with Pinktails leader Rob Clarke being massive.”

Steele-Park trialled with North and South as a part of the Pinktails program and their connection, receiving offers from both clubs before deciding on the Roosters. “My first year at North was 2022, under Krissie Steen, and we went all the way,” she said. Her work ethic and unwavering commitment deserved the ultimate reward.

“My weekly commitment that season was about a 3000 km roundtrip flight each weekend from Alice into Adelaide,” Sarah said. “When I got off the plane back in the Red Centre, it was straight off to work on Monday mornings. Between Monday and Thursday afternoons we’d train at a variety of ovals, working around the cricket teams in Alice Springs, improving our skills and running endurance and undertaking weight sessions three mornings. I’d leave work early on Friday afternoons for

the flight to Adelaide. I still banter with South girls, including Caitlin Couch, who went to the Panthers at the same time, about my choice to go to North and the premiership we enjoyed.”

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing after the grand final triumph against Sturt. Two weeks later, filling in for Rovers, Steele-Park snapped her leg, injuring four ligaments in her ankle and between the tibia and fibula, broke her syndesmosis and another bone in her foot. But she only missed Round 1 of the 2023 season with North – and that was because of a hand injury. That season opener has been the only game Steele-Park has missed since debuting with the Roosters in Round 1 of ’22.

After moving back to Orange to be closer to family after last season, Steele-Park was convinced to return to Adelaide for the 2024 SANFLW campaign. “I’d got a job teaching back in Orange soon after the ’23 season,” Sarah said. “When I decided to come back to Adelaide this season I needed to put that on hold.

I’m working as a relief teacher at a few different schools, which is cool.”

A player who relishes one-on-one contests, Steele-Park earned selection in this month’s All Stars game alongside Couch and continues to inspire the young talent at Prospect. “I’m now a senior player in the group and feel part of my role is to lead by example on and off the field,” she said. sanfl.com.au

UNDER-18 WRAP

ZAC MILBANK | TWITTER @ZACMILBANK

BY ZACBYMILBANK North Adelaide produced a gutsy last-gasp fightback to secure a thrilling one-point SANFL Under-18 win against Woodville-West Torrens at Prospect Oval.

Trailing by 19 points nearly 10 minutes into the final term, the Roosters booted the next three goals through Even Bradley, Blake Oudshoorn-Bennier and PJ Carlin to claim their third win for 2024. Captain Blake OudshoornBennier was outstanding with 36 disposals and 10 clearances, while team-mates Henry Turner (26 disposals, eight marks) and Lachlan Gardner also had a significant influence on the result. Eagles pair Jett Hasting (25 disposals) and Lachlan Sands (19 touches, two goals), together with Raymond Sumner, fought hard for their side until the final siren.

Central District overcame a slow start to register a comfortable 38-point win against West Adelaide at Hisense Stadium.

Conceding the opening five goals of the game, the Bulldogs clicked into gear in the second quarter by booting 5.3 to the Bloods’ 1.1. From there, the likes of Charlie Nicholls (22 disposals, three goals), Dyson Sharp (31 disposals) and Brodie Wills (26) made sure the Bulldogs banked the premiership points. West officials praised Thomas Kain (18 disposals), Will Ashton (21 disposals, 10 marks) and Ayden Hodgson (24 disposals, 12 marks) for their performances.

Glenelg survived a late scare from fast-finishing Norwood to escape with a three-point victory at The Parade.

After trailing by 13 points at the first change, the Bays worked hard to establish a 23-point lead by threequarter-time. But the Tigers were forced to sweat when

the Redlegs kicked 4.2 to 1.0 in the final term, with Ned Bowman kicking his third with about a minute to play.

Glenelg’s Angus Clarke, Archer Rouvray (17 disposals, fourth-term goal) and Oliver Betterman (18 disposals) were strong influences in the win. Norwood hailed the never-say-die attitudes of Bowman (16 disposals, three goals), Jim Kelly (24 disposals) and Jacob Newton (27).

A game-breaking seven-goal haul from Sturt’s Ned Atkinson proved crucial in the Blues’ 19-point win against South Adelaide at Thebarton Oval.

Sturt’s acting captain booted his first inside the opening minute of the second quarter but it was his four goals in the final term which proved decisive. Atkinson, who finished with 13 disposals and four marks, was joined at the top of the best players’ list by Oscar Merrett and Kurtis Ridley. South’s Phoenix Hargrave (30 disposals, eight clearances), Cohen Shortridge (18 disposals, three goals) and Benny Barrett (20 disposals) were unable to counter Atkinson’s ability to hit the scoreboard. sanfl.com.au
