I hope the whole lot arrives before tomorrow arvo.

It's a Melbourne-Collingwood game I fear I'm going to be preferring to watch.

Mind you, wouldn't a 2025 'Froggy' Crompton be nice tomorrow!😁

Thought to have been lost, with only about 30 mins previously available.

More info as it comes to hand.

Commentary is good considering 60 yrs ago, luv no out on the full & some of the kicking was horrendous

Did the 9 news say it was the full copy found or only the 2nd half?

Just like our current team!!


Drop kick goals on the run, Wow who would have thought

And no surprise how many times a Melbourne footballer is downed after he kicks the ball. Hassa Mann absolutely dominating such a great footballer

How heavenly ironic, finding it in Perth, where we found our 13th premiership.

I would love to know the providence of the tape. These stories can be just as interesting.

So who won the Norm Smith Medal that day ??

I thought John Townsend (16) played really well. Ran like Robbie. What a pity he did his knee. Came back but not as good.

Actually XL runs like him today, fast , light on his feet, balanced and has sgility

No one

Think about it ;)


Thst was a fishing comment,

But who then in Norm Smiths eyes was bog. It was not Neil Crompton cos he was out of position. But he did (apparently) follow his man down the field.

Not sure I was not there. Melbourne were always in finals and I was a bit blase about it.

Even if I did not know it st the time

Go Dee’s. Win it again today. It is our Granny.

Neil Compton BOG in dying stages of the match. Kicks match winning goal, big contested interception mark in final minute to push Demons forward and strong tackle in dying seconds to thwart desperate final charge by Collingwood. Stuff of heroics. A couple of irrelevant observations of the game were ticker tape to celebrate goals, smoking on the coaches bench.

Not sure BOG But a definite hero, and he did win the match for us. Absolutely no doubt

Hassa Mann. Played well but John Townsend. Brian Kennealy and Ken Emselle Were my favourites

wouldn’t it be good for history to repeat

Looked like either Hassan Mann or Brian Dixon as bog? Dixon was said to have had a great 1st half.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
