Rare black-and-white television broadcast coverage of the famous 1964 VFL (Victorial Football League) Grand Final between Melbourne and Collingwood has been located, digitised and preserved in the NFSA collection.
Found among a collection of 16mm kinescope prints donated by a retired GTV9 television audio technician, the newly digitised film reveals the entire second half of the game, complete with long-unheard live television commentary. The exciting conclusion features two of the most famous goals of any grand final, an unlikely hero, and the last premiership for the Demons for more than half a century.
