[Furphy]

Here's some nostalgia that lasts about 10 minutes, the 1909 GF:

See the young Banger on the fence there

[saintbrat]

shortened version was posted last year


couple of comments- / questions
Why is one Sth melbourne player in a differing strip
Female supporters got just as excited then as they do now
bad goal kicking is bad goal kicking- 5 points each some time into the game... :0
and one player should be reprimanded for diving..

Perhaps it was Stinger?

Umpires ruined the game

Umpires ruined the game

Especially those goal umpires. They looked far too casual, not even dressed in white uniforms and throwing their flags to the ground after use.

Meatloaf's grandfather was the pre-game entertainment.

That's why there's no sound...

Same wag pointed out the coverage was better than Channel 7's 2012.

Lots of ladies there, but the hats must have left a lot of fans with "restricted views"

7 mins 55 sec in...

Some South player in the background just leans over then collapses for no apparent reason.. Is still on the ground when the guy is kicking for goal in the next shot..

Is actually kind of funny...

Was Dermie playing for the opposition?

[Bardon Saint]

Sloppy skills

[felix]

Was it a non contact sport then ? How was the crowd you would have done well with a hat shop in those days !

[mr six o'clock]

Was that in HD ?

Spewing i wasn't around then , i can actually kick the ball unlike most of those guys playing in that game !

[On the Bench]

It's amazing how much the game has progressed, but the basics have not changed. Carlton were dirty bludgers.

The place kick was there. I remember reading an old rule book that said if you were tackled you had to immediately release the ball.

I love the casual stand on the opponents hand at 9:08.

Thanks for passing it on Furph.

[Sick Nal Danto]

That was fantastic, the skills were terrible but it was awesome to watch

The handballing was hilarious

[Austinnn]

This looks like how the Saints play now.

[mr six o'clock]

the worst thing of this video is that during those early years we were always on the bottom , so if this was the GF , We must have been completely useless !

The kicking skills look similar to some players today

I noticed that and looked around for those "seagulls" that Sheeds used to blame.

Still, at least there was a vaild excuse of no video footage availabe unlike 2012

Chuck the ball in the air and spike it was handpassing? What the f*** was that game it's an abomination, how did it take off the bowler hats must have restricted their thinking.

Eddie betts stole a pair of those shorts I think.
