this was ron barrassi's last ever holy grail as a coach but 13 years earlier was his last as a player but the following year was his last grand final overall losing to the hawks by 18
Funny that back then, it did not seem an issue with jumpers clashing as long as the other team wore different colour shorts. I think we go a little overboard with clash jumpers today...
Absolutely. The game has deteriorated as a spectacle since the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. Way too much congestion round the ball these days, forcing ball up after ball up.
North’s greatest grand final win! Collingwood had 22 players on the field , the absolute worst umpiring in the history of the game! Collingwood are lucky if they scored 10 goals through play! Marks paid to twiggy dunn , frees paid to many Collingwood forwards and even marks taken off north in front of goal ! Any wonder they never seem to show this game for many a year! But on the bright side, north you were magnificent, and just Incas anyone is interested! Malcom blight put that ciggy out mate! Haha. Go Roos!
Rip Ronald Dale Barrassi when Billy Nettlefold came on always remember Ron's spray when coaching Melbourne Healy off Nettlefold on followed by weak as p..ss😊😂
Greatest era of AFL rules period!!
the 2000's were the last of the good afl era but from the 2010's it was more shitty
I personally believe that the 90s was the best era of football, but I see where you are getting at
Ron Barassi's last ever premiership he won as a player & coach. The final premiership he won in 1977 may have been his finest.
Yep it was, cause no team since has taken five finals to win the big one.

Without the 10 year rule. North wouldn't have won this one
@@Rataja77 Yes but North did win the flag despite the 10 year rule and the rest is history
@Rataja77 what is this 10 year rule, sounds odd.

Yes and they'd play each other caked in mud and still knew who was who, more jumpers equals more sales $$$$$.
And a lot of people still had black and white TVs in 1977.
so many of them picking wedgies from those shorts lol
@@pauliejay4161 color tv's are expensive till the mid 80's
better to have white shorts than any shitty clash jumper
RIP Wayne Gordan and Daryl Sutton!😢
Len Thompson & Billy Picken too.
Excellent grand final replay
2:15:07 - Malcolm Blight sneaking in a ciggie.
this was the best afl goal in the grand final ever
Paul Mateo which one?
@@billba the phil manassa goal
Manassa’s goal at 1:56:47
More scrappy and less skilful than today's football...but so much more exciting, more interesting, and just far better
today's afl is shit

mate, please upload sheedy unplugged to this week.
At least channel 7 had decent commentators then. What ever happened to Peter Ewin. I think he only called 1 season for 7
Ronnie Wearmouth, this video shows him to be the greatest receiver in 1970's football.
How many games did you play

Tom Hafey over trained Collingwood after the draw ,they just did not have the fuel to run out the game ,
Exactly right that cost us dearly
1:56:48
you didn't put in ron barassi's top 20 grand finals
the draw in 1977 was better than the replay because of the first live grand final into victorian tv's & ross twiggy dunne's goal
