First-half highlights from the VFL Grand Final between Collingwood and Carlton, 26 September 1970.
This NFSA highlights compilation utilises our digitised film, television and radio holdings of the game.
These include choice moments from the iconic HSV7 and rarely-seen GTV9 broadcasts, unseen angles of the game from both The Big Game (1970) and Barry Thomas’ unused camerawork for Movietone Productions, and memorable excerpts from the radio commentary boxes of 3KZ and 3AW.
Please note: the commentary in this clip contains language that is reflective of the time it was made but may be considered offensive today.
