1949 For some reason numerous publications over the years have recorded the scoreline of the 1949 SANFL grand final as North Adelaide 23.17 (161); West Torrens 9.8 (62).  The scoreline recorded here, however, is correct.  Quarter by quarter (North's tally first) the scoreboard read 1. 4.7 to 2.6, 2. 6.13 to 5.11, 3. 10.13 to 8.15 - a busy afternoon for a one-armed goal umpire.  Back
