Retiring champion Malcolm Blight was given the honour of tossing the coin. North skipper David Tiller called correctly and elected to kick to the Lake End.
Midway through the second quarter, the Roosters had opened up a 29-point lead after restricting the Tigers to just two goals.
But then, in one moment, the momentum of the match shifted dramatically.
Aftermath
Years later, when reflecting on the sudden change in momentum in the second quarter that swung the result in Glenelg's favour, Graham Cornes remarked: ”It was as if someone flicked the switch and it all turned.”[1]
