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.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
