1934 Season Summary

1934 season
In one of the most intriguing and topsy-turvey seasons in SANFL history, eventual Premiers Glenelg were winless and on the bottom of the premiership table after 5 rounds of a 17 game season, and after 7 rounds, the eventual Grand Finalists were in fact the bottom two sides on the ladder.
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 remarkable achievements of these players, also needs to be put into the context that they were playing in a side that were in the bottom two teams every season apart from 6th in 1931 & 1933 and top in 1934.

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
Glenelg surged into the finals by winning 7 of their last 8 minor round games - with the solitary blemish being an unlucky 3 point loss to North Adelaide - and managed to secure a crucial double chance by finishing 2nd.
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

1973 season
1973 was close to the perfect season for Glenelg, as they steamrolled through the minor round, winning 20 out of 21 games, followed by 2 finals wins from 2 games, and claiming their long awaited 2nd premiership - 39 years after their first.
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.
link to 1973 team photo
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.

Match Highlights
1973 Grand Final scoring timeline
In the 1973 Grand Final both sides had their periods of dominance:
  • Glenelg had an 11 point lead half through the first quarter, but 5 late goals to North had them leading by 21 points at quarter-time.
  • Glenelg dominated the 2nd quarter to re-take the lead by 6 points at half time.
  • The third quarter was a 13 goal shootout, with Glenelg getting to a 23 point lead early, but North fighting back and hitting the lead with 5 minutes to go. But two goals to Voigt before the siren had Glenelg back in front by 8 points at three-quarter-time.
  • The last quarter saw both teams trade goals with Glenelg maintaining their lead, until consecutive goals by North had them hit the lead with 5 minutes left in the match. Then 2 minutes later, Graham Cornes took a screamer at half-forward and goaled from 35 metres out to restore the lead.

1985 Season Summary

1985 season
After doing his coaching apprenticeship with South Adelaide in the previous two years, 1985 saw the homecoming of Graham Cornes as coach of Glenelg. Peter Carey continued as captain for a 3rd season, and Stephen Kernahan and Tony McGuinness both deferred any interstate moves, having unfinished business at Glenelg.
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.
link to 1985 team photo
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

1986 season
In 1986 Graham Cornes and Peter Carey continued on as coach and captain, and Glenelg regained the services of Kym Hodgeman who returned home from North Melbourne, but lost Stephen Kernahan to Carlton and Tony McGuinness to Footscray. Filling the void left by the departures of Kernahan and McGuinness was always going to be a monumental challenge for Glenelg, but Hodgeman was a ready made replacement for McGuinness and Tony Hall stepped up to the challange of filling Kernahan's shoes at centre half forward magnificently - kicking 73 goals for the year and coming 3rd in the best & fairest. John Seebohm was also a revelation, moving from centre-half-back to full-forward to help cover the lost scoring power of Kernahan & McGuinness, and kicking 54 goals.
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

2019 season

Mark Stone continued as coach, and Chris Curran continued as the sole captain in 2019, and the six game winning streak at the end of the previous season created an expectation that 2019 would be the season when Glenelg returned to finals football.

Whilst Glenelg did not get off to the greatest of starts - 1 win, 1 loss, 1 draw in the first 3 rounds - they only lost one more game between round 1 and round 18 (which was a dead match for the Bays). Their only losses for the entire minor round were by 5 points at Norwood Oval in round 1, 4 points at Noarlunga Oval in round 10, and 12 points at Unley Oval in round 18 - and they were undefeated at Glenelg Oval.

During the season Glenelg won their first match at Elizabeth Oval since 2008 (breaking an 11 match losing sequence), and won their first match at Woodville Oval since 2012 (breaking a 6 match losing sequence).

link to 2019 team photo

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.

2023 Season Summary

2023 season

The 2023 season began in turmoil — when once again pre-season training began without a head coach after the club parted ways with coach Brett Hand in December — but ended in glory when new coach Darren Reeves led the club to it's sixth premiership.

After a slow start, losing to Sturt at Unley in the first round, they showed continuous improvement throughout the season, gradually adjusting to their new coach, developing their playing style, building momentum and staying focussed on the ultimate goal in September.
Following their round 1 defeat, Glenelg strung together 11 consecutive wins to charge to the top of the table, where they stayed for the rest of the season.
Eight of those 11 straight wins were comfortable, percentage boosting wins of 5 goals or more, but the highlight was a stunning 105 point victory against the previously undefeated ladder leader Sturt in round 9 at Glenelg Oval. It was an absolutely unprecedented flogging of a side that was sitting pretty at the top of the table with an 8-0 win-loss record. It was Glenelg's first 100 point victory for 16 seasons, and their 23-12 was their highest score for 12 seasons - all against the previuosly undefeated top side - amazing!

After clinching the minor premiership with a 15-3 win loss record, Glenelg played the second semi final against Adelaide, and uncharacteristically allowed Adelaide to score way too easily in the first quarter, to the extent that at one stage, Glenelg were 3 goals down. But during the 2nd and 3rd quarters Glenelg put the clamps on Adelaide's scoring, and from late in the 2nd quarter to early in the last, Glenelg kicked 8 unanswered goals, to eventually run out winners by 32 points.
This win marked only the 2nd time (after 1973) that Glenelg had won the minor premiership and also won the second semi final - the 6 other minor premierships were followed by a second semi final loss.

In the Grand Final, Glenelg came up against their old Grand Final nemesis, Sturt, who they had lost to in the 1969, 1970 and 1974 Grand Finals.
In recent SANFL seasons, 7 of the last 8 premierships had been won by the Preliminary Final winners (which was Sturt), but the last 4 premierships had been won by the team with the best defensive record (which was Glenelg).
As it turned out, aided by Sturt's poor kicking for goal, Glenelg recorded a relatively comfortable 24 point victory, in which they were never headed, and from late in the 2nd quarter onwards, were always between 4 and 7 goals in front. In the end, the scoreboard probably flattered Sturt, because although Sturt had more scoring shots, most of their points were kicked in the last quarter, long after the game was effectively over.

Glenelg had a very settled side across the season, with 11 players playing all 20 matches, and another 8 players missing 4 games or less - maybe the disjointed nature of the draw had something to do with this, as there were 4 weekends during the season in which they were not scheduled to play.
Player wise, the team had all the ingredients for success, with 3 key forwards kicking 40 goals or more (Hosie, McBean, Reynolds), a settled defence boasting 3 key tall defenders (Proud, Pink, Newman), a deep group of high quality midfielders the envy of the competition (Partinton, Snook, Turner, Lyons, Allen), as well as specialist role players across all three areas of the field.

Over the course of the 2023 season, Glenelg had the best defence and second best attack in the league.
At an average of 59.1 points conceded per game, it was Glenelg's best defensive season in their history.
With a win rate of 85% (17 wins from 20 games), it ranks as Glenelg's 3rd highest ever - behind 1973 (95.7%) and the disastrous 2021 (85.7%), but ahead of 3 other seasons above 80% (1975,1981,1990).
In general 2023 was a very strange season, as only 3 teams finished with a percentage above 50%, and across the league, 2023 was the lowest scoring season in the SANFL since 1923... the lowest scoring SANFL season for 100 years.

  • Max Proud continued as club captain for a 4th successive season
  • Corey Lyons won Glenelg's Best & Fairest award in just his 2nd year at the club.
  • With 61 goals, Lachie Hosie was the club's top goalkicker for the 2nd consecutive season.
  • Lachie Hosie won the Ken Farmer medal for the league's top goalkicker during the minor round.
  • Lachie Hosie won the Jack Oatey medal for best player in the grand final.
  • Glenelg won their 8th Reserves premiership, and won the League and Reserves Premiership double for the first time, and won the Stanley H Lewis Trophy for the best all-round club across all grades for the 11th time.

1969 Season Summary

1969 season
The 1969 season, Neil Kerley's last as Captain-Coach, was a record breaking season for the Glenelg Football Club - a season where they won practically everything, except of course ... the premiership.
They finished the minor round on 17 wins and 3 losses, to win the minor premiership, but then lost to Sturt by 38 points in the second semi final, defeated West by 53 points in the preliminary final, and lost to Sturt by 65 points in the Grand Final.
  • With 17 wins in the minor round, they broke their previous record of 12 set in 1950, 1951, 1964 & 1967
  • With 12 consecutive wins from round 20, 1968 to round 11, 1969 they broke their previous record of 6 consecutive wins set in 1951 & 1964
  • They had their 5 biggest wins ever, all in the same season. Wins of 126 points v Woodville, 122 v Centrals, 113 v South, 112 v Norwood, 110 v North, all eclipsed their only two previous 100 point wins against Centrals in 1964 and Woodville in 1967. In fact of their 18 wins for the year, 5 were over 100 points, and another 8 were over 50 points - just 4 of their 18 wins were by under 7 goals.
  • They finished the minor round with a percentage of 63.73%, which since 1907 was the highest percentage in the minor round of any club, other than Port Adelaide, who had exceeded this percentage on 6 occasions (in 1907, 1912, 1914, 1921, 1956 & 1964).
  • They kicked their first ever score over 200 points - 1 of only 8 in the history of the league up this point in time (32-24 216 against Norwood in round 20), and kicked 5 of their 7 highest ever scores.
  • With 2805 points, they broke the record for most points in a season, surpassing Sturt's 2592 points in 1966.

  • They won their first minor premiership.
  • They won the Thirds premiership for the second time in three years.
  • They won the Stanley H Lewis Trophy - awarded to the best club over all the grades - for the first time.
  • Fred Phillis topped the league goalkicking for the first time with 137 goals, and broke Ken Farmer's 33 year old record for most goals in a season of 134.
  • Fred Phillis became the first full-forward to win the Magarey medal - and his teammate Ken Eustice was runner-up.
  • Fred Phillis kicked 10 goals in a match three times during the 1969 season - a club record 15 against South at Glenelg Oval, 11 against Norwood at Norwood Oval, 10 against Woodville at Woodville Oval.
  • A club record six players were selected to represent South Australia in the 1969 Australian Football Championships - Ken Eustice, Brian Colbey, Fred Phillis, Peter Marker, Harry Kernahan & Keith Pattinson.
  • Brian Colbey became the second Glenelg player to be selected as an All Australian - after Neil Davies.

1981 Season Summary

1981 season
After the vast improvement shown in 1980, John Halbert and Paul Weston were kept in place as coach and captain, and Glenelg swept all before them in a dominant minor round. They had two winning sequences of 10 matches, and 8 matches separated by a solitary loss to Port Adelaide in round 11, and those two winning streaks included a 55 point belting of Port Adelaide in round 1, and a 26 point win over Port at Alberton in round 17 - after being nearly 6 goals down at half time.
With 3 minor round matches remaining, Glenelg had an 18-1 win-loss record, were 5 games and percentage clear of South in 2nd place, and looked like they were going to repeat the heroics of 1973 when they only lost 1 game for the entire season - and was also the last time they had beaten Port at Alberton.
With not a lot to play for in the last 3 rounds, they lost to finals contenders Norwood & Sturt, either side of a 149 point drubbing of bottom placed Woodville.
link to 1981 team photo
In the second semi final against Port, they were down 4-4 to 13-10 at half time, eventually losing by 54 points, and serious questions were being raised about Glenelg'ability to handle the finals cauldron, as this was their 6th consecutive finals loss over 4 seasons dating back to the 1977 grand final.
Glenelg simply had to beat Norwood in the preliminary final to regain the respect of the SA football public - and they did, belting Norwood by 55 points, 12-14 to 4-7.
Like in the second semi final, Glenelg did not put up a fight in the grand final, only kicking 2 goals in the first three quarters - and lost by 51 points.
  • Peter Carey won his 3rd club best & fairest award, and also won the Fos Williams medal for SA's best player in the state game against WA.
  • Paul Weston was appointed SA state captain.
  • Stephen Copping was the club's leading goalkicker for the 2nd time, with 49 goals.
  • Stephen Kernahan, Chris McDermott, Tony McGuinness & Tony Symonds all made their league debuts for Glenelg in 1981 - with Kernahan & McDermott playing the entire year.

2008 Season Summary

2008 season
With the stability of Mark Mickan and Ben Mules remaining in their coaching & captaincy positions for a third season, the momentum created in the second half of the 2007 season carried on into 2008. After a round 1 blip against South, Glenelg won 12 consecutive matches to be on top of the ladder after 15 rounds with a 12-1 record. This included a number of memorable wins including:
  • An 84 point win over Norwood at The Paradae when Glenelg resticted Norwood to just 1-3. This was very satisfying for Glenelg supporters who remembered the corresponding match at Norwood Oval 4 years earlier when Glenelg were restricted to 1-4.
  • Defeating Centrals at Elizabeth Oval for the first time since 1992 - after 14 consecutive losses.
  • Defeating Port at Alberton Oval for the first time since 1993 - after 14 consecutive losses and a draw.
  • Defeating Sturt in a top of the table clash at Glenelg Oval in front of a crowd of 11,827 at Glenelg Oval - the biggest Glenelg Oval crowd since the arrival of the crows in 1991.
link to 2008 team photo
Glenelg clinched their fourth ever minor premiership (after 1969, 1973 & 1981) with a 16-4 win-loss record, and only lost one match to the other teams who qualified for the finals - to Centrals at Elizabeth in round 18. In fact 2008 was only the second season (after 1973) that Glenelg had not lost to Port, Norwood or Sturt during the entire season.
In the second semi final against Centrals, Glenelg were only 6 points down at half time, but got blown away in the third quarter, and eventually lost by 30 points. Against Sturt in the preliminary final, Glenelg took control in the second quarter to lead by 42 points at half time, and eventually ran out winners by 66 points. The grand final against Central was again a tight affair until half time, with Glenelg trailing by 4 points, but once again Centrals dominated the third quarter to establish a 37 point lead at three quarter time, and maintained that lead to the end, winning by 42 points.
  • Ty Allen won the club's best & fairest award.
  • Todd Grima was the club's top goalkicker with 54 goals.
  • Ty Allen came 3rd in the Magarey medal, and Adam Fisher came 4th.

Minor Premiers

2009 Season Summary

2009 season
In 2009, Glenelg were minor premiers for the second year in a row, and only the 5th time in their 85 seasons. With 17 wins, 2 losses, & 1 draw, and a win rate of 87.5%, it was their second best minor round performance ever (behind only 1973 with a 95.2% win rate) - and yet they failed to even make the grand final.
Just like in 1980, which was their previous 2nd best minor round performance with 86.4% matches won, they were eliminated from the finals race in straight sets. But unlike 1980 when they were inexplicably soundly beaten by 29 & 37 points in their two finals appearances, in 2009 they suffered two heart-breaking losses by 2 points & 5 points which were self-inflicted by their own inaccuracy in front of goal.
Glenelg went into the 2009 finals series choc full of confidence after being undefeated in their last 15 matches, with the only minor blemish being a draw against Centrals in round 17.
link to 2009 team photo
In the second semi final against Centrals, Glenelg were up by 20 points at three quarter time, but lost by 2 points after kicking 1-4 in the last quarter.
They then went into the preliminary final against Sturt, having beaten them the last 9 times in a row, held Sturt scoreless in the first term, but kicked themselves out of the game, losing by 5 points, 7-13 to 9-6.
  • Mick Mickan and Ben Mules were coach and captain for the 4th successive season.
  • Adam Fisher won his 2nd club best & fairest award.
  • Ruory Kirkby was the club's top goalkicker with 37 goals.
  • Glenelg won their 5th reserves premiership, and the first ever Under 18s premiership (after it replaced the old Under 19s competition).

2021 Season Summary

2021 season chart
Glenelg's Centenary year was thrown into chaos when senior coach Mark Stone accepted an assistant coaching role with the Brisbane Lions at the end of November, forcing the club to search for a new senior coach at a time when most candidates had already committed themselves elsewhere for the upcoming season.
As newly appointed coach Brett Hand was not able to meet the players face to face until late January, it was up to the playing group themselves to stay focused and maintain training standards for those first 2 months of pre-season training. In addition there was limited time for the new coach to instill his game style and coaching philosophies into the playing group prior to the commencement of the season.
Despite these setbacks, the club performed a bit of a miracle and carried all before it in it's Centenary year, and after 7 rounds, the league, reserves and under 18s were all undefeated and on top of the ladder — and in fact each team would remain on top of the ladder for the rest of the minor round — only losing 6 games between them.
The league side won their first 17 games of the season — equalling Sturt's record of 17 wins in a row in 1970 — and were on the cusp of being the first undefeated side in an SANFL minor round since Port in 1914 — 107 years ago. Unfortunately in the last minor round game at Alberton, they went down to a Port side laden with AFL talent to deny them this record.
Amongst those 17 wins were many hard fought battles, including:
  • a storming last quarter into the wind against North at Prospect in round 5 to stretch a 2 point lead into a 31 point victory.
  • a last gasp win against Sturt in round 6, when a late goal by Luke Reynolds put them 4 points in front with a minute to go.
  • a comeback from 47 points down in the third quarter, to defeat Norwood at The Parade by 1 point.
  • 3 other wins after being down at 3/4 time against The Eagles at Woodville in round 12, Adelaide at Glenelg in round 13, and Norwood at Glenelg in round 16.
  • 2 hard fought games against Port in round 4, and South in round 15 when the opposition got back to within a goal during the last quarter, but Glenelg held off the challenge and won.

In the finals Glenelg lost the second semi final to the Eagles by 4 points, defeated South by 28 points in the preliminary final, but then got belted by the Eagles in the Grand Final by 67 points.
So despite winning 17 out of 18 minor round games and being 4 games clear at the top of the ladder, the gap to the rest of the competition was not as great as the win-loss record would suggest, as is evidenced by the fact that only 2 of Glenelg's victories during the season were by 7 goals or more — as opposed to the Eagles, who had 8 victories of 7 goals or more and despite 4 extra losses had a significantly better percentage than Glenelg at the end of the minor round.
Of the other 5 teams since World War II that have lost only 1 minor round game (Glenelg 1973, Sturt 1978, Port 1951,1956,1959) the lowest percentage at the end of the minor round was 60.5%, as opposed to Glenelg's percentage in 2021 of 57.5%.
What was beyond dispute throughout the year was the character displayed by the team in continually fighting back from deficits and finding a way to win — a characteristic which was inexplicably missing on Grand Final day. So even if Glenelg's 17-1 minor round record gave an exaggerated assessment of their superiority, their lamentable performance and lack of fight in the Grand Final was uncharacteristic and inexcusable — at the very least they should have been competitive.
As it turned out, 2021 ended up being eerily similar to 1969 and 1981. In 1969 and 1981, Glenelg finished minor premiers respectively 2 games and 4 games clear of 2nd place, were top of the ladder for most of the year after being 11-0 and 18-1, but were smashed in the grand final by 65 and 51 points respectively by Sturt and Port.
Despite the disappointing end to the season, Glenelg's centenary year was full of many fine achievements:
  • the league team was only 1 win away from being the first club in 107 years to go through the minor round undefeated.
  • Defensively it was the second best season in the club's history (after 2019), conceding just 67.8 points per game.
  • Glenelg won their 7th SANFL Minor Premiership (unfortunately only 2 have been converted into premierships).
  • They won their 7th reserves premiership, and won their 1st ever SANFL Women's premiership.
  • The under 18s and under 16s both played in the grand final, which means Glenelg made the grand final in all 5 grades.
  • With 56 goals, Liam McBean was Glenelg's top goalkicker for the 4th time and won the Ken Farmer medal for the third consecutive year.
  • Matthew Snook and Luke Partington tied for Glenelg's Best & Fairest - Matthew Snook's 4th B&F award, only 1 behind record holder Len Sallis.
  • co-captains Max Proud and Chris Curran, and the playing group in general showed great leadership in maintaining training standards during the pre-season without the motivation, guidance and supervision of a head coach until late January.
  • Hugh Stagg won the McCallum Tomkins Medal for Best & Fairest in the Under 18s competition.
