All those double fronted brick and weatherboard homes lined up, gee there was a few back then. Yes I gee up in one lol. In my mind when I worked in the city, Brashs in the office, great vinyl discounts lol. In my mind now it still looks modern - unit I watch the vids and realise how long ago that was 🥴lol Another great vid of memories Gezza that now makes us feel soooo old haha 😂👍

Give me the Melbourne of 1979 any old day instead of the overcrowded and overpriced mess it's become today.

Damm the umpires gave Carlton that one against freo ...not looking good if you need help to win 🏆

[@ACDZ123]

@@Ducatirati oooh bold caps lol ...nothing says I'm a little man like bold caps 🤣 now. You won the game when its now been proved you shouldn't have. Dont come here with your bias umpiring decisions excuses. Carlton got gifted the game. Typical Victorian bs to favour Vic clubs .always been that way. Just like when WA flogged the big V in 1977 state of origin and then the Vic clubs wouldn't release the good WA players to play state of origin after that first humiliation. Rigged it so Vic always won state of origin after that. Killed the origin concept in the process..well done sore losers. Just like Carlton getting a free win . Nothing's changed.

The world made much more sense in 1979 - not so much in 2024😮

[@highcountrydelatite]

its why many of us even we gen x have gone to regional areas specially in QLD or the coast

How is that we see footage and photos of our City, when it was ours, and it seems almost alien to us? Whilst, now, we're being outnumbered and overwhelmed by aliens in "our" city, and we're told that we must celebrate this?
