1970 VFL Grand Final with 3AW Commentary Full HD

Arguably the greatest Grand Final in VFL/AFL history, the rousing 1970 VFL Grand Final had it all. Still the greatest half time deficit in a Grand Final that was ultimately overcome, still the largest attendance in Australian sporting history with 121, 692! Among the many highlights were Alex Jesaulenko's outstanding "mark of the century" and Ted Hopkins' brilliant 4 goal haul in the second half to bring Carlton back into the game. This production may be the only one in existence that contains the original HSV Channel 7 Melbourne footage along with the nostalgic 3AW Melbourne football commentary team comprising Norman Banks, Bill Jacobs, Doug Haywood and Doug Mason. Due to difficulties aligning the old footage along with the digitalised audio, it was necessary to create 2 to 3 second gaps at various points in order to sync the video and audio. In addition there were a couple transmission drop-outs from the original 3AW live broadcast which have been edited from the final cut. I've now also reproduced the final cut in 1080p Full HD for better quality picture and sound, though the end result may still appear grainy, due to the age of the footage and the readjustment of the aspect ratio to 16:9. It's my pleasure to offer to you this unique presentation of the Collingwood versus Carlton, 1970 VFL Grand Final. GO BLUES!
