The 1970 Grand Final Highlights from many different sources apart from HSV 7

First game I remember going to as a 7 year old

I can still remember the noise

I was listening to it and  and spewed with Coll/wood being in front by 7 odd goals something like that at half time.

I remember listening to the radio and they were calling it over Carlton cannot possibly win.  seems like yesterday.

Yes it’s great to hear the different calls

I had only heard Ch7 up until today

 

Thanks for that SWYL. Has got to be the greatest Plan B performance by any coach, ever. Barassi was a genius.

i wonder what Goodwin would have done at half time if he were in Barassi’s shoes?

tbh it would be a lot harder today, so many tactics have been used and abused since 1970, to play on was radical!

But Goodwin certainly has a lot of work to do on his Matchday Coaching

He seems to work better from the Bench.

Stared thoughtfully out of the coaches box rubbing his chin....and did nothing.

Yay, another unrelated thread turns into Goodwin bashing.

I blame the pandemic on Goodwin, he had no plan P

Great get, Sir WYL, thanks for sharing. Goodwin-Bashing shall hereafter be referred to as a 'Fan-Demic'. Participants in such activity should immediately be tested... or at least seek medical advice!

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
