ABC broadcast 1972 VFL Grand Final - Richmond v Carlton, MCG

[@3072to4170]

Doug Heywood on the podium with Dennis and Lou for the best TV callers of all time imo. Wonderful to listen to.

Not Lou

[@gettinhungrig8806]

Yeah not Lou. Mike Williamson, Butch Gale, Ted Whitten and Jack Edwards all great too.

[@RalphvsSam]

The play by play calling of this broadcast is better than the Ch 7 version of that year in my opinion.

[@JohnJohn-zn8ib]

Better than today as well.

great commentary - when footy was a much simplier game

It would be great if AI was used to colourise this B/W footage and then clean it up. It would be a masterpiece.

[@RhettBartlett]

I couldn't think of anything worse

[@EdukingdomJoe]

@@RhettBartlett You should see what AI can do in terms of frame rate, however. Given that ABC recorded these on film, not video, AI can restore it to what it would have looked like on TV at the time - clear and smooth flowing.

[@gettinhungrig8806]

I like the black and white

[@JohnJohn-zn8ib]

No inside 50 rubbish like today.
