1985 was my second year of following the dogs. I was at the first two finals, loved us beating North but we couldn't get tickets to the Prelim and I listened to it on the radio from home. Didn't watch the footage of the game until many years later.
I recall reading the paper in the lead up to the QF and I think Phil Maylin and Tony Buhagiar were the only players on our list to have ever played in a final before that game (for Carlton and Essendon respectively). Our lack of finals experience was a talking point throughout that finals series in the media.
