Played in blustery conditions the normally precise North Adelaide could not hit the mark with their passes and were dominated at ground level by a well coached Port Adelaide.
In a pre-game press conference before the game North Adelaide coach Mick Nunan quipped that "We have one goal in mind".[4] North Adelaide would end up only kicking one for the whole Grand Final.[4]
Game entertainment was provided by the Pembroke Girls choir, under the direction of Mr. Colin Curtis.
