For the TISM fans on Demonland ...

Not much fun in that decade fr the dees.

Prefer 60s

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

A decade to forget.

September was always huge in the 70’s

almost mythical for a young kid 

[No. 31 1,228]

I was born in the 70s and have a fleeting memory of watching some of the 1979 Grand Final but the 80s was my childhood exposure to footy. In terms of style and mindset of footy, the 80s were similar to the 70s. It was the 90s that saw a lot more athleticism and professionalism come in.

TISM have quite a few footy references in their songs. Ron Hitler-Barassi is a die hard Richmond supporter and the rest of early TISM members were Sainters (the video clip to "Greg! The Stop Sign" was filmed at Linton Street, Moorabbin).

I went to the gig at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl last night, was a great night! 😃

Cool!

Aware of the name but not the music. However, this 60s kid appreciated the riffing on The Shadows in the house party scene! 🤓🎸

It was a Huge Night

Great old school footage, just a bit before my gig freqenting days. I used to occasionslly frequent 'The Club' in Smith Street in the 90s as a uni student ... a late night venue when at a loose end ... The Club was always open 😁

Early 60's anyway....

After '64 the decline set in setting up the long walk to 1987.

How I still follow the club is a miracle after going through this period.

I guess you call it character building.

I'm jealous of anyone who was at the TISM concert on Saturday!  I decided not to go after seeing the seating area was sold out, as because of my bad knee I can't stand for that amount of time.  TISM had lots of footy references in their song, in fact they did the theme for Triple M when they started broadcasting football matches in the 90s, "Shut Up, Footy's on the Radio"

I managed to get a ticket in the seated area. The standing room tickets up front sold out incredibly quickly so I missed out on that. Pretty much everyone stood up in the seated are in any event.

“Great Trucking Songs of the Renaissance” is an absolute classic Album…

I still love Macchiavelli and the Four Seasons.  Particularly All Homeboys are D*(&heads

Footy in the 70s for Melbourne supporters was dreadful. But, thankfully, the music of that time was just wonderful.

Mind you, if I had to choose, I think I would prefer it the other way round.

this song wasn't from the 70s, though, it's a new song.

The problem in the 70's was recruiting and coaching, Beckwith, Ridley, Skilton, Jones and Ditterich who were great footballers but lacked any grey matter.

They recruited lots of cast off's who were not good enough as footballers, Carl in his last match v's Collingwood said he wanted the team to play football and he would do the fighting.

Skilton and Ridley did a great job with available cattle.
