Saturday 19 September 1964: A crowd of 102,471 gathered at the MCG to witness a thrilling grand final in which Melbourne defeated Collingwood by four points after back pocket player Neil Crompton (#5) pushed forward to kick the winning goal. It was the Demons’ 12th VFL Premiership. MELBOURNE 2.6.18 5.7.37 7.10.52 8.16.64 COLLINGWOOD 2.5.17 5.9.39 5.11.42 8.12.60 Enjoy 😊

The Demons were jolted early in the 2023 Qualifying Final by the head high hit that ended Angus Brayshaw’s career and helped give the accurate Magpies a big enough start to fall in by 7 points despite a goalless final quarter. Many Melbourne fans argue that hit cost their team a flag and many others are still bemused about the fact that the perpetrator was free to play on in his team’s finals campaign including the winning grand final.
