Fast forward to 8:15 to see Big Nick yelling at Sheedy after Keogh kicked a goal
Thanks for that. It’s weird that after all these years I still get emotional watching these highlights. You couldn’t assemble a team like that anymore but how fortunate were we to watch them go to work.
Southby, a second year player, on his way to consecutive Best & Fairests. Keogh, those dancing feet, preceded Scotty from Adelaide. Doully, pre headband, wearing Royce like a glove. Wallsy, just 22 years of age, courageous and skilful. I could go on and on.
We kicked 28.9.177 that day. We put the cue in the rack at about the 10 minute mark of the last quarter. The last 20 minutes was for celebrating a wonderful achievement.
I remember the Sporting Globe’s headline for the post game summary.
ROYAL BLUES emblazoned in a huge font.
Of course, this laid the foundations of Richmond’s dirty response in 1973 but I’m not ready to relive that memory.
