Mick Redden (v/c) Coach: Michael Nunan Match Summary Retiring champion Malcolm Blight was given the honour of tossing the coin. North skipper David Tiller called correctly and elected to kick to the Lake End. Midway through the second quarter, the Roosters had opened up a 29-point lead after restricting the Tigers to just two goals. But then, in one moment, the momentum of the match shifted dramatically. Aftermath Years later, when reflecting on the sudden change in momentum in the second quarter that swung the result in Glenelg's favour, Graham Cornes remarked: ”It was as if someone flicked the switch and it all turned.”https://sanfl.com.au/league/news/aami-footy-flashbacks-1985-sanfl-grand-final/ Zac Milbank AAMI Footy Flashbacks – 1985 SANFL Grand Final 5 June 2020 Scorecard References External links lsS0TYAoC98 1985 SANFL Grand Final - Glenelg vs North Adelaide Category:South Australian National Football League Grand Finals SANFL Grand Final, 1985
