I got the footage off one of my old videos came up not too bad after a bit of work glad you enjoyed it.

It's really good quality. Esp in comparison to the bits of footage of the '64 final. Can barely recognise the players, but l'd completely forgotten what a tight exciting game it was. Melb was my passion, I have never forgiven Ron Barassi for leaving us [ha ha], even tho he he did move on to achieve amazing things for the game. I always had a real soft spot for Geelong, after we moved down to a farm near Pt Campbell, where the Lord twins grew up. They were our heros. Plus my dad had great admiration for what Polly Farmer 'contributed to the game'. Sadly, he passed on last year, cos l would have loved to have shared this with him. Ironically John Rantall, fellow conspirator with Barassi, was another hero of mine, but as my bus captain, a yr or two before his AFL career. I was only 6 yrs old, and he was my big protector - a gorgeous man.

I actually use too wear my Ron Barassi footy boots when I played my junior footy and Mopsy Rantall was a super player able to play on just about anyone.

Barge-arse Wade got us again in 1975....Oh the horror of it all.

You had another era very similar to it, from 1989-1997....4 losing Grand Finals in that lot & a Preliminary, Semi Final & qualifying loss to go with it.... Yowser!

Hey Simmo, Adelaide and the umpires killed us in 197. Finished second after the minor rounds and had to play 7th placed Nth Melb on a Friday night. Then we were shafted to Adelaide to play the Crows where the men in white killed us. Buddha Hosking's 'goal' called a point and Leigh Colbert's mark 25m out not paid. Lady luck and the bearded bloke upstairs not with us 26 years ago.

I have the 1968 1st semi final in full which I might put up when I get a bit time the quality is excellent so won't have to restore too much , I also have a video of all the last quarters from the grand finals from the sixties which is where the 63 grand final came from.

Ahhh the 64 one first - please.

the rest of the match is famously missing. it was recorded but can't be found. the tv station doesn't have it and everyone else denies having it too.

@@EmmaGrogan Do you mean the whole 63 Grand final....I have the whole game on vcr tape.

@@jumbo6009 If you really have that you're a rich man. you can pretty much name your price to any network.

Dennis Marshall arrived in 1964 and Brian Cousins in 1975 don't know about the trainer though.

Ooops my timeline a bit out there. What yr did Sam start at Geelong?

Sam started at Geelong in 1964 most people don't realise how good a footballer he really was. My favourite player from that era was John Sharrock I use to wear his number 10 on my back.

Derm had it coming for rupturing Yates testicle out at Princes Park earlier that year....Taking out Platten early though meant you blokes copped the karmic comeuppance you deserved in the end.

In the 60's anyway ....Hardly ever since....60 years ago now.
