It was a showdown between forwards in this low scoring battle. Brian Kekovich of Carlton kicked four goals for the day as had Geoff Blethyn for the Bombers with four of his team’s eight goals. As, of this moment, Carlton is the only side to win a Grand Final with the least amount of goals as they had 7.14.56 to Essendon’s 8.5.53. This was also the penultimate game of Alec Epis who played 180 games over 11 seasons with Essendon on one of the most formidable and electrifying half back lines with Bluey Shelton and Barry Davis
Better than today’s games, today it’s like watching rugby, players kicking backwards, gives the impression that players are not hardened or as fit as the players in this video.
dfghj Soccer is the greatest sport on Earth and is massive in over 240 countries. Soccer is a major sport in every nation on Earth. AFL is only big in 4 out of 6 Australian States. Soccer will be the most popular sport in Australia by 2050 ghgj
