Rooster Reminisces a Look Back at a Memorable Match from Each Round Rooster Reminisces A look back at a memorable match from each round Round 12 Season 1987 (Saturday 27 June) The man of the hour… or rather the match! Darel Hart was simply brilliant in the mud-heap Norwood Oval to lead his club to a victory in the face of defeat (Mick Redden and Roger Carlaw are looking on) There are games where a player’s performance clearly defines what characterises him as a footballer. Many games before, and after, may also have showcased their brilliance, their match-winning qualities. But then one game comes along and clearly demonstrates what the player represents. Courage, never- say-die, lead-by-example, professional, team ethic, enrapturing the qualities of leadership to teammates and supporters. This applied in Round 12, 1987… the player was Darel Hart. Background North were enjoying a successful football dynasty when the 1987 season arrived despite no premierships from their two Grand Final efforts in the previous seasons. Sure, the premiership wasn’t at Prospect Oval, but the North supporters were spoilt with spectacular and eye-catching brilliant football for 90% of the footy seasons. Names that still spring a smile to the face of supporters today when reflecting back to the 1980s and the excitement and enjoyment they provided the supporters. Darel Hart was named captain at the start of the 1987 season and was settling into the role like duck to water. And North were on a mission – premiership or nothing in 1987. When they went to Norwood Oval in Round 12 were on top of the table having only lost one match. Norwood was hot on their heels in 3rd position. The Match Over 7,000 fans ventured to Norwood Oval on a miserable, wet, muddy afternoon it a highly anticipated meeting. Both teams were coming off lacklustre victories the previous weekend and it was Norwood that was the first to get their systems in place and dictate proceedings. Norwood dominated the scoring opportunities kicking the only goals for the quarter and leaving North rattled with only three points at the first break. A response was expected by North in the second term but Norwood continued their ascendancy with another four-goal term to North’s two. Poor goalkicking by North – with gun forward John Roberts one of those responsible – didn’t help Norths efforts. Norwood were simply tougher in the battle where muddy body-on-body contests were the feature of the day. History clearly shows a 35-points margin is a margin that is rarely reined in by the losing team to snatch a victory. To achieve the win North would need to hunt down their 3rd highest deficit at the main break before coming home victors. To make matters worse and just to make the tough challenge even tougher they were playing at Norwood’s home fort on a mud-spattered ground. It was, seemingly, a mountain too high to climb. Coach Mike Nunan needed someone to inspire the team and to drag North back into the game by finding a way back into the contest. And it was his captain, Darel Hart, who came to the fore. With his troops rallying behind him Hart set the wheels in motion and avenge the first-half disappointment by creating havoc around the stoppages and setting up scoring opportunities. With fellow midfielders David Sanders and the exceptionally-skilled brothers Andrew and Darren Jarman the Roosters began the grind back into winning contention. The Roosters third quarter was sensational. North kicked 5.6 – still poor efficiency at goal their only sour note for their efforts – and held Norwood to a poor 1.1 to bring the game back into even-stevens at the last break. Amazingly, the one-goal deficit at the last break was quickly evaporated as North’s last quarter continued their second half steam-rolling performance. North kicked a further three goals and kept Norwood goal-less to run out an unexpected but highly exciting 11-point victory. North had won many games previously by pure brilliance, skill, fast-flowing football but that afternoon it was won by grit, hard work, second and third efforts and uncompromising football. Simply speaking, they won it through G & D (guts and determination). The Sunday Mail scribes were clearly impressed with the performance of the North captain and were keen on highlighting his leadership. • “Looking forever the war-torn gladiator from days gone by, North Adelaide captain Darel Hart yesterday strode off Norwood Oval, mud splattered, weary but triumphant. The battle-hardened campaigner had just unleashed a special brand of courage and commitment... qualities that helped spark the Roosters to their seventh successive win.” His efforts recorded him with statistics of 23 kicks, six marks, 10 handballs and a goal. His efforts also stamped him of a leader amongst men. The fabulous Jarman brothers were also in the thick of it with their memorable jumpers rollicking around Norwood Oval at will: No. 17 jumper Andrew collecting 13 kicks, 18 handballs but an unsurprising five free kicks against, while jumper No. 8 Darren collected16 kicks in his 20 disposals. No-fanfare but ever reliable David Sanders picked up 19 touches and two goals from his wing, David Wildy was again solid and dependable in defence and the scruffy Steven Sims was also in the fray. The Umpires voted Darel Hart two votes for his inspiring second half with the other votes given to Norwood’s Michael Aish (3) and Michael Taylor (2). What a wonderful support group behind Hart’s efforts (l-r): David Sanders, Andrew Jarman, David Wildy, Darren Jarman, Steven Sims and Jason Roe The Aftermath The match doesn’t stand out when looking back over history books but the confidence the players and club gained from such an inspirational victory would have harvested so much self-belief for the remainder of the season. And who knows if that self-belief just helped fuel the fire in the remainder of their best season in history when the Roosters would be cock ‘o’ hoop with a premiership to finish the season. North supporters (here at a game at Football Park later in the 1987 season) were just as jubilant after the Norwood Oval victory Match Details: North 0.3 2.7 7.13 10.16 76 Norwood 4.4 8.6 9.7 9.11 65 Ground: Norwood Oval Crowd: 7,070 Best Players: Hart, A.

  • Rooster Reminisces a Look Back at a Memorable Match from Each Round
    Rooster Reminisces A look back at a memorable match from each round Round 9 Season 1990 (Saturday 16 June) Déjà vu – Darren Jarman against South in the 1990 1st Semi where he repeated his goalkicking mayhem against South Adelaide in Round 9 Mike Nunan was an enthralling, talented yet divisive coach at North Adelaide during his record- breaking 13 years at the helm. In his early days he stood on many toes in order to have the team and club move into a new direction on and off the field. He dodged boardroom bullets in the early 1980s when his new team was not winning but in conclusion brought about some of the most exciting football to be witnessed in red-and-white colours. He achieved two premierships from five grand finals and while some would say it was below the expectations for the teams and players we had in the late 1980s/ early 1990s I would take that period again anytime. Whatever supporters or past players/ officials may have thought about him personally he produced an exciting and memorable period in North Adelaide’s history. He was a master in game-plans, used his Jack Oatey legacy with quick ball movement using the art of handball as an offensive tactic and loved his team scoring freely and regularly. What may have been missed throughout his tactical skills was the slight adjustment of a player or two during games that helped bring about a victory. One such move was made midway through the 1990 season that no one expected yet, in hindsight, proved a masterstroke move that would be reused for the player in future games and during his AFL career.

The All Australian side is selected from the players' contributions over the Under 18 carnival, which involves every state in Australia. Only 4 representatives were chosen from the 2nd placed South Australian side, so for North Adelaide to have two representatives is a great result. James and Luke's selection is one that not only the two players should be proud of but also the Club as a whole. James Craig was named 1st Ruck in the powerful side, amassing 112 Hit Outs for the carnival, while also getting valuable touches around the ground. It was universally agreed that he was far and away the best big man in the carnival. James has come through the North Adelaide Football Club junior system after starting his football with Fitzroy FC. James is currently in his final year at Adelaide High School. Luke Tapscott was named on the Interchange, after starting slowly in the carnival he finished off very strongly to dominate the last two games. He kicked 9 goals for the carnival and did some very good heavy work in the clearances. Luke has already played League football this year, he like James has also progressed through our junior grades after starting at Orroroo.
