I'm trying to work out the commentators in the Channel 9 footage. Is it Ian Major, Ian Cleland and Tony Charlton?

    Great video bush demon . Thanks .

    Never seen Neil Cromptons kick sail through before . Neil is sadly no longer with us .

    Possibly Norman Banks is the commentator in the 1st part ( 60 secs ) . In the 2nd part I reckon it's Ian Cleeland with Ian Major and right at the end it's Norman Banks again . Though I stand corrected .

    There is a strange "humming" sound in the 1st part as well . Like a bored child !

    Yes, thanks again Bush demon. Like 'Macca' I have never seen footage of Crompton's goal. i couldn't get tickets to the GF and was at home listening on the radio. I was up on a ladder painting the roof gutters for the nail biting finish. It's a wonder I didn't come a cropper!

    I was there! One of the highlights of my football-following life. I was 13, my brother 15. My father got two tickets to the Grand Final and gave them to us. Sadly, my father is no longer with us and my brother now supports the Dogs. There's two things in life you should never change, your religion and your football team. As far as I'm concerned they're one and the same.

    No way, football is much more important than religion with the added bonus that it's real. I told the missus I don't care if she wants to baptise the kids catholic or whatever but when it comes to footy they'll be following the Demons.

    How the Hell did your Brother end up supporting the Westies??

    Why would you? Their last 5 decades have actually been worse than the Demons....Do remind him of that!!

    I was there also. Mum Dad both essendon & Bro.also a demon. We sat in Row A near the old Practice wicket area Q??

    Dad started to move us out as he thought it all over. We got to the end of the row and started to walk up the aisle. I turned around just in time to see Froggy throw the ball onto his boot, and through the goals, hence our early departure was delayed about 1/2 an hour. Although I also saw 1960 this one was very special as I was really starting to understand football, rather than collecting empty soft drink bottles in 1960. A lot of disappointments have followed but I wouldn't change it for the world.

    I was there, in the Southern Stand, not quite 8 years old. The old man was part of the medical team - never thought I wouldn't see another one for over 40 years!

    Bring on 2012 and ...

    go DEES

    Thanks. I too was there in Row A with 13 yr old brother. Around about old Bay 13 area.

    Unfortunately can't remember too much of the detail - more about the getting of the tix and the lead up to the game.

    Been buying a Premium membership for the last 23 years to ensure getting tickets to the next one.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
