The Port Adelaide-Norwood rivalry is Australian Rules football's oldest and one of its most intense rivalries, being a rivalry between the Port Adelaide Football Club and the Norwood Football Club. Together Port Adelaide (36) and Norwood (30) have won 66 South Australian National Football League premierships since the founding of the competition in 1878. As the SANFL competition has been suspended due to war, only 132 seasons have been played, therefore together Port Adelaide and Norwood have won exactly half of all SANFL premierships awarded. The two clubs have met in grand finals 15 times.

Origins

The two clubs first played each other in 1878. The rivalry's origins go back to 1884 when Port Adelaide ended Norwood’s run of six consecutive premierships. Many years later, in 1960, Norwood would bring Port Adelaide's own run of six premierships to an end defeating them by 27 points in a preliminary final. The two clubs are the only ones in any of the major Australian Rules football leagues (the SANFL, WAFL, and VFL/AFL) to win six successive premierships.

Off-field rivals

Geographic/Class Split

Port Adelaide and Norwood are located on opposite sides of Adelaide, with the western side of the city traditionally being associated with blue-collar workers and the eastern side white-collar. Over time, the strength of this demographic determinant has waned as property along the west beaches has gone up in value.

Adelaide SANFL Football Grounds

Rival AFL licence bids

Talk of a side from South Australia entering the Victorian Football League was fast-tracked in 1987 when a team from Western Australia, the West Coast Eagles, and a team from Brisbane, the Brisbane Bears joined the VFL. This left South Australia as the only mainland state in Australia without a team in an increasingly national competition. By 1989 seven out of ten SANFL clubs were recording losses and the combined income of the SANFL and WAFL had dropped to 40% of that of the VFL.[1] During early 1990 the SANFL decided to wait three years before making any further decision in regards to fielding a South Australian side in the VFL until it could be done without negatively affecting football within the state. Frustrated with lack of progress, Port Adelaide held secret negotiations in the town of Quorn regarding entering the VFL in 1991.[2] From these discussions, Port Adelaide accepted an invitation from the VFL to join what had now become the AFL. The AFL signed a Heads of Agreement with the club in expectation that Port would enter the competition in 1991, meaning the Port Adelaide Football Club would field two teams, one in the AFL and one in the SANFL.

During the 1990 preseason Port Adelaide played a practice match against the Geelong Cats at Football Park in front of 35,000.[3] When the knowledge of Port Adelaide Football Club's negotiations to gain an AFL licence were made public, the rest of the SANFL and many other people across the state saw it as an act of treachery. SANFL clubs made an application to the Supreme Court of South Australia for an injunction against the bid, which Justice Olsson agreed to.[1] The AFL suggested to the SANFL that if they didn't want Port Adelaide to join the AFL, they could put forward a counter bid to enter a composite South Australian side into the AFL. After legal action from all parties, the AFL finally agreed to accept the SANFL's bid and the Adelaide Football Club was born.[4]

The fallout from the failed bid resulted in some calling for Port Adelaide to be expelled from the SANFL.[4] However, Port Adelaide continued to compete and continued to dominate. The Magpies followed their triple triumphs from 1988 to 1990 with a premiership in 1992 and three in a row again from 1994 to 1996, then again in 1998 and 1999. This equated to nine premierships in twelve seasons. In 1994, the AFL announced it would award a second AFL licence to a South Australian club. Adelaide's Channel 7 broadcaster ran a phone poll asking whether Port Adelaide should get the second licence with 74% of the 6000 respondents saying 'yes'.[5] However a licence did not guarantee entry and although a target year of 1996 was set, this was reliant upon an existing AFL club folding or merging with another. In 1996, the cash-strapped Fitzroy announced it would merge with the Brisbane Bears to form the Brisbane Lions. A spot had finally opened and it was announced that in 1997, one year later than expected, Port Adelaide would enter the AFL.

1884 SAFA Final Round

Norwood 0 11 11
Port Adelaide 3 13 31
Venue: Adelaide Oval Crowd: 5,000

The final game of the 1884 season held on Saturday 30 August was essentially a playoff for the premiership as it guaranteed the winner top spot on the association ladder. Therefore considerable interest was built up for the game with the crowd approximately 5,000. Norwood, having won the last six premierships in a row met Port Adelaide who was yet to win a premiership. The result comfortably went the way of Port Adelaide much to the dismay of Norwood.[6]

Venue: Adelaide Oval Crowd: 11,000

The first premiership-deciding match in a major Australian rules football was held on Saturday the 5th October 1889 in South Australia.[7] At the time Norwood were reigning Australian champions. The game was required as Norwood and Port Adelaide finished the season with an identical win-loss ratio. The teams entered the first break with scores level at three goals each. Only one goal was scored in the second quarter by Norwood with the wind substantially effecting play. Port wrestled back to an even ledger during the third quarter but only briefly as Norwood kicked a goal late in the period with the scores into the final quarter being 5 goals to 4. Norwood had the ascendancy in the last period of game with Port kicking its 5th goal too little, too late. Final scores being 7 goals to 5 in Norwood's favour. The match was one of the seeds to the intense rivalry between Port Adelaide and Norwood.

1904 SAFA Challenge Final

Port Adelaide 8 10 58
Venue: Jubilee Oval Crowd: 11,000[8]

The 1904 Grand Final was a memorable one for Norwood who were down by 35 points at three-quarter time against traditional rival Port Adelaide. Norwood then produced an extraordinary burst of football with a goal by centre half forward Dean Dawson followed by two goals each from full forward, Bill Miller and half forward flanker, Stan Robinson. Norwood was only two points down with a minute remaining. Tommy Gibbons held a mark on a seemingly impossible angle. His kick sailed through the goal posts to give Norwood a four-point victory 9.8 to 8.10.

1997 SANFL Grand Final

The Norwood Football Club entered the 1997 SANFL season with purpose and rage that would see it dominate the years competition. During the home and away season the club lost only three games during the minor round with a percentage of 64.82%, second to only that of Port Adelaide's 1914 season percentage of 68.78%. The dominance of Norwood during this year was highlighted on ANZAC day when Norwood played the second placed team of the year, Port Adelaide, winning by 122 points. However during the second semi-final Norwood lost to Port Adelaide. The loss proved to be a wake up call for a side seemingly winning with ease.

1997 SANFL Grand Final G B Total
Norwood 19 12 126
Port Adelaide 7 11 53
Venue: Football Park Crowd: 44,161

The following week a win over Central District saw them make the Grand Final, where again they would play Port Adelaide, this time in front of 44,161 eager spectators. Norwood were no longer complacent like they had been a couple weeks ago and dished out Port Adelaide's greatest ever grand final defeat in the SANFL winning by 73 points, 19.12 (126) to 7.11 (53). With midfielders Anthony Harvey (Jack Oatey Medallist), John Cunningham and Andrew Jarman playing superbly, the Redlegs had their Magpie opponents chasing shadows all afternoon. Norwood’s victory, which came during the same season Port Adelaide's controversial bid to enter the AFL came to fruition, meant the satisfaction it generated amongst Redleg supporters was euphoric.

Venues

The vast majority of the games played between Port Adelaide and Norwood have been at Alberton Oval, Norwood Oval, Football Park, Adelaide Oval.
