Time stands still for no man.
Good pick up dn.
I was on school holidays and was stuck in the car listening to the game on the radio, which, back then especially, was a hard thing to do when approaching Sydney.

It was a bloody hot day and a really warm week as well. Even during the parade one of the Carlton cars broke down it was so hot. My mate had just broken his arm a week before and his arm was itching like crazy all game. First time I can remember being at the footy and refusing a pie from Dad - it was that hot. Everyone was in shorts and t-shirts. I remember it like it was yesterday funnily enough...after the year before you could just sense that this year would be different and there were strong rumours that Dunstall wouldn't play and that Rhys-Jones would get the job on Brereton...and of course the boys were playing for Mots and Des. great day to be a Carlton supporter that one. |

Hawthorn had Gary Ayres playing for them back then. They learnt from that. Next year in the finals, Wayne Johnston was taken out via a shirtfront very early on against Hawthorn. |

I was 9 & I remember watching the game in the loungeroom at home with all of the curtains down so it was almost dark inside because it was so hot!! Don't remember much of the game but remember my parents (both navy blues) cheering for Rhys-Jones every time he got the ball, both rapt that he towelled up Dermie. I remember the presentation of the Norm Smith medal & the presentation of the cup though! |

Walls = genius (back then, at least). Watch the game again and check out the set play goals from Braddles and Molly. He was the first coach to do that kind of stuff in such a structured way - kick off zones, set plays from stoppages, etc, etc. |
