1934 Season Summary
Despite this poor start to the season, and a history of never having made a finals series, Glenelg did contain some very high quality players, who were at the peak of their powers, including:
- Jack Owens - who over the course of his career amassed 827 goals, was Glenelg's top goalkicker on 10 occasions and league top goalkicker on 3 occassions.
- Len Sallis - who had been runner-up in the Magarey Medal in 1931 & 1933, and won Glenelg's best and fairest in 1934 for a record 5th time.
- George 'Blue' Johnson - who won the Magarey Medal in 1934, and went on to win Glenelg's best and fairest 3 times.
- Mel Brock - at the start of his career, but who went on to win the Magarey Medal in 1940, and twice win Glenelg's best and fairest.
The stars of the season were:
- Len Sallis who was in their best players for 16 of the 20 games
- Arthur Link who was in their best players for 15 games and booted 52 goals for the season
- 'Blue' Johnston who was in their best players for 15 games and booted 22 goals for the season
- defender Len Griffiths who was in their best players on 14 occasions
- Jack Owens who kicked 89 goals for the season
After a 65 point shellacking at the hands of Port Adelaide in the Second-Semi Final - which was largely attributed to inexperience and the nerves associated with their first ever finals appearance, they faced Sturt in the Preliminary Final.
The Prelimnary Final was a tightly fought contest, with Sturt leading by 4 points, 6-13 to 6-9, at 3/4 time. But in the last quarter, 4 consecutive goals by Glenelg broke the Sturt resistance, and by scoring 6 goals to 3 in the last quarter, Glenelg ran out winners by 13 points.
The following week in the Grand Final, they turned the tables on Port Adelaide to win their first League Premiership - in just their 14th season and their first finals appearance - see below for details.

1973 Season Summary
Neil Kerley, in his 7th season as Glenelg coach (and 4th as a non-playing coach), finally became a premiership coach at a record third club, after losing grand finals in 1969 & 1970, and Peter Marker became a premiership captain in his 3rd year in the role.
The season started with six consecutive wins - the narrowest of which was a 32 point win over Sturt - and by round 6 they were already 2 games clear on top with a percentage of 63.79%.
Round 7 provided the only speed-bump for the year with a 27 point loss to North Adelaide at Prospect Oval. After being level at half time, 4-12 to 5-6, Glenelg were weakened in the 2nd half by injuries to Peter Marker and Graham Cornes, and North ran out winners 14-13 to 8-22.
From then on, they won 14 consecutive games to close out the minor round, finishing on top of the ladder 3 games clear of Sturt in 2nd place. The highlight of these wins was an incredible 160 point belting of 3rd placed North Adelaide at Glenelg Oval in round 15 - a game in which Peter Carey kicked 11 goals.
Although seemingly unbeatable, they were challenged during the season - in round 8 against Port at Alberton Oval, they escaped with a narrow 6 point win, after being 5 goals up at three quarter time - in round 11 against Sturt at Adelaide Oval, they stormed home to win by 15 points after being 21 points down at half time - and in round 19 against Sturt at Unley Oval, they won by 11 points in a closely fought match all day.
In the second semi final, they overran Sturt by 57 points - with Fred Phillis kicking 8 goals - but the grand final against North Adelaide was a different story. In the first half of the grand final, Glenelg and North both had periods of dominance and held leads, but in the second half Glenelg had led for 95% of the time, until North hit the lead again with just 5 minutes remaining in the match. With just 3 minutes remaining, Graham Cornes took a hanger on the half forward flank, and goaled from 35 metres out to put Glenelg back in front, and win the premiership.
- Centreman Kerry Hamilton won the 1973 club best & fairest award.
- Centre-half-forward Peter Carey was Glenelg's top goalkicker for the year with 69 goals, rover Rex Voigt was 2nd with 68 goals, and Fred Phillis was 3rd with 61 goals after spending time at both full-forward and centre-half-back during the year. In a testament to their scoring power and varying avenues to goal, John Sandland and Greg Wickens also kicked over 50 goals for the season.
- With 3117 points they broke the SANFL record for most points scored in a season, previously held by Glenelg's 1969 team with 2805 pts.
- Harry Kernahan took over as Sectretary of Glenelg Football Club from Ray Curnow after 19 years in the job.
- 1973 was the year when the finals series was expanded to include the top 5 teams (instead of 4), and a centre diamond was trialled to remove congestion at centre bounces.

1985 Season Summary
The 1985 season began with a round 1 encounter against old foe Port Adelaide at Glenelg Oval. After being 11 points down at half-time, Glenelg kicked 11 goals in each of the last two quarters, on the way to a record score (by any club) against Port Adelaide of 31-18, and an 88 point win.
After a 14 point loss at Norwood Oval, Glenelg then won their next four games, including 2 matches in which Stephen Copping kicked 10 goals in the match - a 71 point win over Sturt, and an 83 point win over Woodville. After 6 rounds, Glenelg were sitting in 2nd spot on the ladder with a 5-1 record.
However, the Bays then suffered a mid-season slump, losing 6 of their next 8 games, putting their finals place in jeopardy with a 7-7 record - and only percentage in front of 6th placed Torrens.
From round 15 onwards Glenelg started to string some wins together, and were on a 7 game winning streak when they reached the top of the ladder with 1 round to go. Unfortunately, after losing the last minor round game to Sturt at Unley Oval, they slipped back to 3rd place on the ladder, and faced Norwood in the qualifying final.
The big question was... which Glenelg would turn up in the finals?
Aside from the 1982 finals series when they won 3 out 4 finals, in every other finals series going back to 1978 they had only won 2 out of 10 finals matches, and since the 1975 grand final, they had lost 5 out of the 6 finals they had played against Norwood - even though they had won 17 out of 27 minor round matches against them over the same period.
As it turned out, Glenelg vanquished their finals demons during the 1985 finals series by defeating Norwood by 30 points in the qualifying final, North by 14 points in the second semi final, and North again in the grand final by 57 points, and claimed their 3rd long awaited premiership.
- Stephen Kernahan won his 3rd straight club best & fairest award.
- Stephen Copping was the club's top goalkicker with 83 goals, followed by Stephen Kernahan with 81 goals, and Tony McGuinness with 58.
- Stephen Kernahan won the Jack Oatey medal for best player in the grand final - kicking 7 goals.
- Stephen Kernahan was named in the All Australian side for the first time - an honour he repeated another 4 times while playing with Carlton.

1986 Season Summary
But it was a difficult year, equal bottom of the ladder with 2 wins - 5 losses after 7 rounds. The turning point came in round 10, with a 12 point win over Norwood at Norwood Oval, followed by a 9 point win over Port at Alberton Oval the very next round. These two wins started off a sequence of 9 wins in 10 matches, including another critical 7 point win against top side North at Prospect Oval in round 16, which had Glenelg sitting in 2nd position with 12 wins - 7 losses. But two losses in a row, had Glenelg sitting in 4th place, and needing other results to go their way in the last round in order to get the double chance.
Fortunately those results did go their way, and they faced Port Adelaide in the qualifying final.
Once again though, they had to confront their finals demons, as since 1976 they had lost 7 of their 8 finals against Port - with their only win being the 1 point victory in the 1982 preliminary final.
Just as in 1985, they proved that they had vanquished those demons by belting Port Adelaide to the tune of 47 points. After losing the second semi final to North by 24 points, they overcame a revitalised Woodville by 21 points in the preliminary final, and then had a surprisingly comfortable all the way win of 48 points over North in the grand final - Back to Back, Take That!
- Chris McDermott won the club's best & fairest award.
- Tony Hall was the club's top goalkicker with 73 goals, followed by Stephen Copping with 63, and John Seebohm with 54.
- Tony Hall won the Jack Oatey medal for best player in the grand final - kicking 6 goals.
- Chris McDermott was named in the All Australian side.

2019 Season Summary
Glenelg won their 6th minor premiership with a 13 win, 3 loss, 2 draw record, but went into the finals series on a six match finals losing streak dating back to the 2008 grand final - and a 4 point loss to Port in the second semi final extended this losing streak to 7. In fact after this second semi final loss, Glenelg had won just 2 out of their last 17 finals matches dating back to the 1992 grand final. So the niggling question in the back of every Glenelg supporter's mind was whether the finals fade outs would continue or whether the preliminary final against Adelaide could kick start the beginning of a new era? Thankfully they broke their finals drought against Adelaide with a 27 point win, but now they faced Port in the grand final, to whom they had lost 5 grand finals in a row (in 1977, 1981, 1988, 1990, 1992). Whilst they had defeated Port quite comfortably twice in the minor round, Glenelg's history shows that this minor round superiority is meaningless come finals time.
In the grand final, Glenelg got out to an early lead and Port were never really able to close the gap. Glenelg ran out winners by 28 points to claim their 5th premiership, and had finally translated their minor round dominance into credible finals performances - which thay had failed to do in 1980, 2009 & 2010
- Jesse White won the club's best & fairest award.
- Liam McBean (for the 2nd time) and Luke Reynolds tied as the club's top goalkicker with 53 goals each.
- Liam McBean won the Ken Farmer medal for the league's top goalkicker during the minor round.
- Luke Partington won the Magarey medal for the league's fairest & most brilliant player - the 10th Glenelg player to do so.
- Matthew Snook won the Jack Oatey medal for best player in the grand final.
- Glenelg won their fourth Under 16s premiership in a row.
