1980 VFL Grand Final - Richmond vs Collingwood - 3AW Commentary

[@hardsam68]

Peter Landy, one of the greatest Commentators of all time, way better than any of todays sorry mob

[@oztiger73]

Yes I agree with you

[@planetX15]

Interesting, I've seen comments on other videos who say the complete opposite about him.

[@MisterPolitical1]

peter landy & lou richards are the best afl pair of commentators than anybody with macca aka bruce mcaveney.

[@andrewruss2764]

Id much rather listen to landy and Louie the lip. So much better than the dick heads calling the game now

[@Luke-er6pg]

💯 agree!!!

[@seanlowe4785]

I'm an umpire and its great to see how football use to be, in its purest form, no bs extra rules to worry about and much easier to umpire back then.

[@redwandennaoui4508]

Everything about VFL days of football from the way it’s presented, commentators, players, trainers, goal umpires, on ground entertainment etc is beautiful and sadly lost in today’s football. Love Ronnie Wearmouth ❤ RIP the legendary Peter Allen ❤❤❤❤❤

[@rontierney559]

I was bussed out to the ground with my brother and schoolmates from Moomba Park Primary school to be part of the pre-match entertainment. They gave us Richmond t-shirts, footy socks and a flag and we had to stand on the boundary line waving the flags. As soon as the pre-match was over, they took us somewhere, gave us each a pie and put us back on the bus home. Didn't get to see the game! Does anyone else have memories of being part of thi

[@Austech]

By some miracle my auntie managed to get tickets to this game, so I went with my sister, aunt and my grandmother. I was 12 years old and a Richmond fanatic. I had never seen so many people in my life as at that game, we were high up in the Ponsford stand. I was on a natural high for about 6 months after that win. Now 52, I have never been to another grand final or final since and have no interest in attending another. Its great to be able to look back and watch this, how umpires can bounce the ball straight everytime even on poor surfaces, how players could kick out after a behind and land the ball in the centre and even most umpiring decisions made sense. Although I still watch games, I am becoming more and more disillusioned by the game and what big business and the corporate world have done to it. New rules every year and social posturing rounds (Gay, Multicultural, Aboriginal any issue they can think of) have ruined it for me.

[@EBGamez1]

Lol my dad is the same age as you and I was 12 when I went to the 2017 Grand Final with my dad. What a coincidence. My dad was 12 when we won in 1980 and I was 12 when we won in 2017.

[@goxaviergo11]

Austech there’s no dedicated gay round.

[@goxaviergo11]

Austech also, the first goal for both sides were given from controversial free kicks.

'Kevin Bartlett, Richmond's 33 year old youngster will be hungry for goals today in his 338th game. He knows what it takes to win premierships and you can be sure he'll be giving his all!'

Still my fav childhood memory

[@alanfisher2493]

They were great commentators back in those days especially Harry Bietzel.

[@anthonykelly5461]

You’re kidding? Beitzel was terrible in this. Didn’t even know the players……!

[@wolves7655]

Wonder how Jeff Hayward got on for Collingwood? Didnt really hear his name mentioned.

[@peterbrown6224]

Thank you very much.

[@nickhanlon9331]

It's taken 37 years for me to watch this again......makes me what a shit of a day I had as a kid watching this in 1980.

Great editing Oztiger👍

[@oztiger73]

Thanks Gezza...you have an amazing array of content!

[@debbieanne7962]

Football has changed and not for the better. Gone is the free flowing game and high scoring that is great to watch. And jumpers are no longer swapped at the end of the grand final

[@gerardvidler5001]

Note that Dale Weightman doesn’t get mentioned in the line up. Interestingly, he’s not in the team photo that they show. I still have that 1980 poster on a wall at home.

[@SEALS-ij5vi]

Gerard Vidler, I don’t think they mentioned David Cloke either

[@gerardvidler5001]

As you watch, take note of how many Collingwood kicks do not end up in the hands of another Collingwood player.

The oval was so messy back then 😹 (that's a tiger laughing)

[@mr1972firebird]

Such great years off pain for the pies !!!!

[@GavinRodger1970]

Richmond’s captain that year was Bruce Monteath who didn’t come on the ground until the halfway mark of the last quarter. That’s unheard of!!

[@shanekendal410]

He was not 100%

[@darrenjray]

Coming off an injury. Excellent player.

[@cosmicvagrant3980]

This is bloody awesome! It's that new Yank sub...

[@martinmayhew145]

What is with the game today, it looks a mess. Looking at how easy it was to move the ball, in the old days.Everyone playing to their position. Proper ball ups around the ground, and they kick goals.

[@goxaviergo11]

Martin Mayhew proper ball ups? Mate who cares how they get the ball up in the air, it’s all the same. Defence was non-existent back then that’s why there were so many goals kicked.

[@robcolonnello2945]

Bill Jacobs - best commentator 👍👍

[@TheMicturation]

loved him calling VFA with phil & Ted Henry

[@TimmyTickle]

I love all the extra bits in this video... just wondering, did the AFV release of the game come like this, or did it come off a home recording?

[@oztiger73]

The pre-match was off my VHS tape that recorded the game on the day (which isn't on the AFV release) and I have the 3AW commentary on cassette tapes which I have synced to the game, so it's a version never released before.

[@TimmyTickle]

If you recorded it on the day, have you got any of the ads from it?

[@oztiger73]

Most are cut out, there may be some after goals but would need to check

[@shanekendal410]

Harry Beitzel , Bill Jacobs and Tommy Layiff are even better

Lace-up, not button-up. Also known as a jerkin. The VFL kyboshed 'em in '86 after Robbie Flower - RIP - broke a finger during a tackle when it got caught in Michael Turner's lacing.

Yes correct. A big band version as they ran out before the game and the Fable Singers versions at the end 👍

What is "YAKKA" on the Collingwood training tops? Is it a nickname or a sponsor?

Rocky Lum It's a sponsor, they used to make clothing in the 70s and 80s, they're not around anymore

[@redwandennaoui4508]

Aussie rules football, unlike today’s rules/ so much red tape, just doesn’t have that spirit. Anyway that my opinion, I’m sure it will not be popular!

[@thebob3712]

This once great game is now almost unwatchable today. It's just like a roaming scrum of players, everyone around the ball and kicking backwards seems to be the norm instead attacking the goals. Someone will break free with the ball and start running forward then they just stop and kick it behind them because no one is forward of the ball, their full forward will be standing in the full back position with the rest of the team. Its fuckin shit, glad I got to watch the glory days when the Roos were a powerhouse and got to watch Carey go head to head with whoever was on him. Unfortunately when things change it always isn't for the better.
