Found the answer to my own question:  it is the 1964 GF.  I was confused by the lack of streamers/paper on the ground in the colour version , but the Hassa Mann goal is at the 5.20 min mark in this clip:

Incidentally, I haven't seen this version previously, and was only posted in July 2019.  I think it is the longest version of the highlights, but misses the final siren after the Crompton goal.

It's definitely 1964 footy.

We played Collingwood twice. 2nd semi-final Demons134 def Pies 45. Attendance 93,010.

Grand Final Demons 64 def Pies 60. Attendance 102,471.

I'm leaning towards the semi although as a 13 year old at the time it's a hazy memory. 

Some of the other footage may well pre-date 1964 or be a year or so later.

I assume you mean we played Collingwood twice in finals in 1964. In those days we also would have played two home and away games against Collingwood every year, with one at the MCG and the other at Victoria Park.

ummmm.....not really, the vfl season was 18 home and away rounds, for 12 teams. so, played each team once and 7 teams twice. very similar to now (excluding 2020)

Some of the footage predates 1966 definitely. Looking at the cars on the road the most "modern car"I noticed was the 1962 Falcon. I could not see one 1964 Holden which was an extremely popular model.

Queens Birthday games were of course also enormously popular and had crowds rivalling the grand final.

The chicken scene would have been the Myer food hall in the Lonsdale Street store

The street scenes look like 1965 because I spotted a couple of HD Holdens.

Didn't see anyone with your fashion and make up sense, Uncle. Lots of conservstive brown and grey. I wonder how you would've survived those times.

My mistake. I was sure the season was 22 home and away rounds, precisely to ensure that every side played each other twice.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
