1980 VFL Grand Final Richmond Vs Collingwood

[@konkombotis5549]

I recall watching this GF in my parents' living room when I was 13, wearing my Richmond jumper with number 16 on the back. Back then, we had an old black n white TV, such a treat to watch it now in colour. Thanks for uploading.

what a pleasure it is to watch the game the way it was designed to be played instead of the horrible scrambly rubbish played today

[@lampandlizard4755]

Yes that's why I'm watching this game, because the modern version is so rubbish. I'd love to understand all the ways in which they've changed the rules over the years so that now we have players crashing into each other and jumping on top of the ball. It seems that holding the ball used to mean not getting rid of the ball immediately, where as now it seems like you can hold onto it without giving away a free kick, so long as you're on the ground with three other players on your back.

it was painful to sit through this game as a 16-year-old but Richmond just too good Hungry took us to the cleaners another Grand Final loss

Thank you.
My team wasn't in it, but some dead-set legends who deserve admiration.

I love these old broadcast. You've got the commentary on one side and the crowd on the other

[@charlesatkinson4340]

thanks for this

[@rexkyte696]

Anytime is a good time to beat Collingwood

[@rjg1507]

Isn't it good to see humans playing football and not robots

[@dojufitz]

It's a shame the game became Netball where each team passes sideways to each other endlessly.

Thanks for the upload, do you have any other H&A games from 1980, they are as rare as hens teeth :)))
