1978 VFL Season Highlights

Lots of highlights from the 1978 VFL Season, mostly from the ABC Winners with a little bit of 'Fox Footy' added at the end.

Ah The Winners. It was a staple late on a Sunday on Channel 2 right throughout the 70’s. RIP Drew Morphett

This is so much better than the game played today.

[@AnsonBeeker]

As a new fan from the USA, I love long videos like this. Helps me learn the players and big events. I love this sport. I wish I knew more about it when I was younger.

[@paulwilliams-or8hq]

Knights v Vanderhaar..greatest match up of 2 high flyers ever

[@josippijaca8784]

This is real footy, not congested garbage. Played by men and not guys who don't know how to kick a set shot at goal.

[@paulwilliams-or8hq]

45 yrs ago we had a Great Game, i know games evolve in time but people running the game the last 20yrs have turned it into nothing that resembles Aussie Rules and how it was designed to be played

[@R-vl9ue]

Going by the amount of comments most of us are dead!😷 Seams like yesterday.

[@trippy123]

the VFL was the fucking game mate. these-days its tattooed knobs and sooks.

[@josippijaca8784]

Your spot on.

[@HoratioFitzbastard]

Yeah, the game was played by real men in those days.

[@michaelt5017]

Doug Booth was the St. Kilda player (prick!) at 1:34:18 who kicked that poor dog in the head! He should have been banned from the VFL for life! 😡 The Police Officer who witnessed the assault, from only a few feet away, should have charged him with 'Intentional cruelty to an animal'! What a cruel, mean bastard! 🤬

[@PatrickVanRaay]

Agreed what a prick a very average footballer and obviously a very average bloke

[@PatrickVanRaay]

Totally agree he was a very average player and obviously a very average bloke

[@alansimmonds9030]

Barrasi at the end there making excuses for the loss without Keenan & Crosswell ..... Hawks lost both O'Halloran & Rowlings for the GF due to injury that year too....Poor form Ron.

[@doriankeating1963]

Roos deserved the win! The fix was in with the hawks! 4 goals from free kicks and more from bs decisions all day. Not to mention dirty play all day from dipper and scott. Crowd bood hawks all day. Even goals awarded that were clear pionts. Terrible umpiring the whole match, shame at that level.

[@davidhayman4021]

hahaha....no they didn't

[@kurtflahavin5994]

2:15:00 In my opinion Peter "Percy" Jones is a bit of a weirdo.

[@sentimentalbloke185]

yes. attention seeker, average player

[@kurtflahavin5994]

​@sentimentalbloke185 Totally agree with you mate.

[@sunriseboy4837]

And these blokes regularly kicked torps 60 and 70 yards...the blokes these days struggle to kick goals from 30 & 35 metres out. As Gordon Ramsay would say, "Fuck me?!"

[@martinpascoe5904]

Matthews again deserved to be reported, why the f...wasnt he?

[@coldacre]

protected species, until he finally went too far and the police charged him.

[@alansimmonds9030]

lol...Still sooking & salty after all these years....a mere drive by love-tap to the moush....lol

[@alansimmonds9030]
