Yes I was. Remember it distinctly as I was 9, North had won the first 3 matches so my dad took me along for the 'match of the day.' Never in it and Geelong ended up Premiers. The footage is great though, some fantastic players on both sides. And the old dog track around the ground!

I was there too. Sitting on the dog track. we had some champion players, but not a champion team.

Sitting on the dog track was fun, as you felt closer to the action; but squatting down for so long and peering through the cyclone wire, less so. Great days though.

There's some scappy 1977 v Hawks prelim on the you-tube. My favourite all time finals win.
Funnily enough there is alot of b & w early 70's stuff ( Carl, Coll, Rich, St.Kilda, ) but that '74 prelim with us is the first l've seen in 50 years !
My unicorn is the '75 qual.final v Carlton.

There’s bits and pieces around but nothing significant. I’d love to see rd1 v Hawthorn.

Someone out there has put highlights from The Winners ‘77 and ‘78 together which is good. It’s quite the little rabbit hole when you start searching old North games. Some good stuff from ‘79 about too.

Watching the footage of Laurie Dwyer got me thinking about the historical (and current) father-sons and how you would rank their careers.
Very much a thread worthy topic I reckon. Might save it for the post draft comedown.

That was a bloody depressing day.

It sure was. To think that the previous week we witnessed an exhilarating, pulsating cliffhanger against the eventual premier, going down by a kick after the siren, well , yes, it was depressing.

That was a bloody depressing day.

Was sitting next to the MCC members that day. I’ve never heard anything like the noise after their first goal. Could tell we were in trouble then.
