I know right! I wish there was more footage from this year.

This match epitomises 70's football.Sat in the very back row of the Sir Kenneth Luke stand that day. Main memory is of Malcolm Blight taking match-saving marks in the backline late in the game.

This match was Mike Williamson's second last match commentating football for Channel 7.

Cable BOG followed by Blight & Armstrong

[@sliat1981]

No wonder they lost. They must have been exhausted after this

[@waynesworld7804]

Yes, Blight might have “saved” North but without Sutton’s 5 goals...

[@TotalDramaOwenandNoah]

malcom blight saving north melbourne as per usual

[@sentimentalbloke185]

Was at the game and departed after the siren wondering how Carlton didn't win it, but then again who cares as long as Carlton loses, right?

This was a umpires game! This was a Carlton premiership year stolen by this Umpires incompetence!
