[1]

Port: S. Hodges 6.0, D. Smith 3.0, N. Buckley 2.2, A. Settre 1.0, R. Foster 1.0, B. Chalmers 1.0, D. Borlase 1.0, D. Brown 1.0, T. Ginever 1.0, S. Williams 0.1

Glenelg: J. Fidge 4.3, C. Lamb 1.2, D. Mansell 1.1, S. Salisbury 1.0, J. Seebohm 0.1

John Fidge's 4 goals took his season total to 84 goals, second on the SANFL goalkickers list for the 1992 season.

Port Adelaide player Mark Tylor had played at full forward for most of the season and was leading the SANFL goalkicking with 97 goals. Tylor broke his hand toward the end of the season, causing him to miss the finals. This not only denied Tylor the opportunity to play in the premiership, but also the chance to kick 100 goals for the season.

Richard Foster and Brett Chalmers both kicked goals just before half time, the latter from 70m. At half time it started to hail.

Umpires

The game was umpired by Michael Abbott and Kevin Chambers.

Jack Oatey Medal

The Jack Oatey Medal for best player in the Grand Final was awarded to Nathan Buckley of Port Adelaide. Buckley also won the Magarey Medal in 1992, and joined the Brisbane Bears in the Australian Football League (AFL) in 1993.
