FOZ,
Channel 0 deleted all this classic stuff.
Imagine showing a highlights packages from 1967 with all the goals, bumps, brawls and obviously better crowds.
Also looking at footage from some old VFA grounds.
The only footage from 1967 that I know is atill around is the Grand Final between Port v Dandy at Punt Road.

What a shame this classic footage of 1967 is not around any more of these different televised games.A few old VFA Teams that don't excise any more amongs't them deleted tapes.George you say there is still footage of the Grand Final at Punt Road between Port & Dandy it would be good to get hold of this game.I remeber going to this Grand Final as a 13 year old a very contraversal game.By memory that same Grand Final Channel 9 also televised it.
Go BOROUGH!
It might not be of any help but in the late 60's or early 70's the VFA was broadcast on Sunday afternoons on Channel Ten in Adelaide for a short time. I can remember teams like Dandenong and Prahran. It's unlikely they've kept any foootage but if you're desperate it may be worth a call. (Remembering that what was Channel Ten then is now Channel Seven, I think.)
Channel 7 and 0 televised it.
Peter Bedford and Gary Brice played in this game.
Very tough match with Port coach Brian Buckley dragging his players off after receiving a very raw deal from the men in white.
Came back on after a few minutes.
I was just a shade too young to go but have watched the game on tape a few times and Port did get a raw deal.
The highlights show about an hour of footage from the game.
Dandenong and Port became great rivals also playin\g in the infamous 1976 Grand Final at the Junction Oval.
Bobby- I'll copy as dvd for you by Sunday.
One for Jason Borough as well (1967 GF).
Will catch you at the ground on Sunday.
Port reserves are a real chance on Sunday.
Not that many rivals these days-
Port v Williamstown
Port v Coburg
Williamstown v Coburg
Williamstown v Sandy
Port v Sandy
Casey/Springvale v Frankston
Frankston v Sandy
Preston v Coburg
that's about it
With the alignments the rivalry would seem to be a lot less than the old days.
Williamstown who is likely to link with the dogs will renew the rivalry a bit more in 2009. Only if both Willy and Port were standalone !!!

Thanks for that George I appreciate that I will catch you there on Sunday at the Grand Final,Go Borough Reserves! Also good luck to the contestants in the main game. I hope it is Coburg as they are an old VFA side even if they are allinged to a AFL team (Richmond)
Go BOROUGH!

I was the that game at Punt Rd Oval - the Port players didnt make it off .the ground as old man Goss stopped them. Channel 7 may still have some footage as they used to show this game once in a while. 1968 and 1969 Gfs were also played at Punt Road the back to Junction Oval.

Yes that is the true facts billythekid old man Normie Goss sent them back before they made a attempt to come off I mentioned back awhile in a forum about this in events that have happened in the past in VFA/VFL Football past years.
Go BOROUGH!
Quote:Sunday September 3 FS Preston v Sandringham at Punt Road 13.12.90 - 14.16.100 (Crowd 9500)
Sunday September 10 SS Port Melbourne v Dandenong at Punt Road 14.17.101 - 9.11.65 (Crowd 11,000)
Sunday September 17 PF Dandenong v Sandringham at Punt Road 15.10.100 - 11.15.81 (Crowd 11,000)
Sunday September 24 GF Port Melbourne v Dandenong Punt Road 12.12.84 - 16.13.109 (Crowd 25,000)
Note the crowds for the four finals at Punt Road in 1967
Total of over 56,000.
The VFL would be happy if they got over 10,000 in 2007
if they cannot draw over 10,000 for a bandwagon rolling Geelong, especially if they beat Collingwood in the AFL Prelim on Friday night there is something wrong. Coburg will draw Richmond supporters who would be starving of any finals action even though it is Coburg. With good weather anything under 10,000 will be a dismal flop and the VFL will never ever draw a crowd for a GF.
Yep Sandy vs Preston at Preston in 1967 was the first Ist Div VFA game televised by the then CH 0 now CH Ten
Sunday April 23 Sandringham v Preston 15.14.104 - 7.17.59 (Preston won by 45 points in front of a crowd of 7000)
