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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
