The match was played on 2 October 1994 at [[AAMI Stadium\|Football Park]] in front of a crowd of 40,598.<ref name="match_video"/> == Background == Despite [[Port Adelaide Magpies\|Port Adelaide]]'s recent success, having won 4 premierships in the 6 years leading up to 1994, the [[Woodville-West Torrens Football Club\|Eagles]] were seen as the superior team coming into the Grand Final. Port had lost several key players in recent years to the [[Australian Football League\|AFL]] and retirement, and the Eagles had thrashed Port just 2 weeks earlier in the 2nd Semi Final by 73 points. Betting before the Grand Final saw [[Woodville-West Torrens Football Club\|Woodville-West Torrens]] as clear favourites with 1/3 odds and [[Port Adelaide Magpies\|Port]] at 25/10.<ref name="match_video">1994 Grand Final Port Adelaide v Eagles 2/10/94, video cassette, [[ABC Television (Australian TV network)\|ABC]] Sport</ref> Port's odds could have been even higher if not for their outstanding record in Grand Finals, and their reputation for beating better teams. ==Match Summary== At the 25 -minute mark of the first quarter, the Eagles led by 35 points and seemed to be headed towards certain victory. Port kicked the last 2 goals in the quarter to leave the Eagles with a 22 -point lead. The second quarter was evenly matched with both teams scoring 2.3, however the Eagles still seemed to have the game under control. Line 56: Port went into the final quarter with momentum and ran over the top of the Eagles. Port kicked 3 goals in the first 7 minutes to take the lead, and kicked 9.3 (57) to 1.2 (8) for the quarter to run out winners with a margin of 37 points. Full-forward [[Scott Hodges]] kicked 5 goals for the quarter. ~~When the Eagles led by 35 points in the first quarter, the game seemed headed toward an inevitable Eagles victory.~~ == Teams == Port Adelaide was captained by [[Tim Ginever]] and coached by [[John Cahill (footballer)\|John Cahill]]. Woodville-West Torrens was captained by Peter Schwarz and coached by Bruce Winter.<ref>[http://www.footysa.com/index.php?title=Premiership_Teams SANFL Premiership Teams] {{webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071006084038/http://footysa.com/index.php?title=Premiership_Teams \|date=6 October 2007 }}</ref> {{col-start\|width=70em}} {{col-2}} {{Aussie rules team \| title = {{highlight \| {{font color\|#~~fff~~ffffff\|{{0}}Port Adelaide{{0}}\|link=Port Adelaide Football Club}} \| black }} \| color = #000 \| backpocket1 =4 [[George Fiacchi]] \| fullback =7 [[Roger Delaney]] ([[Captain (Australian rules football)\|vc]]) Line 70 ⟶ 68: \| centrehalfback =15 [[Darryl Wakelin]] \| halfbackflank2 =36 [[Stephen Carter (footballer)\|Stephen Carter]] \| wing1 =27 [[David Hutton (Australian footballer)\|David Hutton]] \| centre =9 [[Scott Spalding]] \| wing2 =13 [[Rohan J.
