From the papers

The Age

"Glendinning, an absentee last week when they beat Hawthorn and still looking doubtful in the early moments of this game, overcame anguish about his suspect thigh injury to produce a second quarter that was vintage football from the 1983 Brownlow medallist. He had been moved from the safety of full-forward to the responsibility of centre-half forward where he outplayed North defender John Law and broke open the Kangaroos' half-back line which had reigned supreme for the first term.

Robert Wiley, whose years with Richmond established him as a big-game player, was superb with a 22-kick effort, and John Annear (23 kicks, 11 handpasses) was the biggest possession-getter in the game, following on from his tag as the best ball-getter in the VFL last year."
