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)

Celebrating his 40th

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.

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
