Scroll to the 2.07.00 minute mark and watch the Port faithful leave in droves with 12 minutes to go. Better still, go back a few minutes prior to watch some Bagshaw and Sturt brilliance.
They were actually leaving minutes before this but that camera shot of the car park is glorious.

Was in the crowd when the announcer asked everyone to stand up and take a step to the left so they could fit more people in. We all did as we were told but I could never work out the maths for that one.

My dad tells me the same thing back in 71,72 GF, seeing all these port fans disappear in droves.

They didn't just leave. They appeared to be fleeing.

They were rushing to Unley to burgle all the empty houses

What a beautifully balanced player Bagshaw was.

 

[Mutineer]

What a beautifully balanced player Bagshaw was.

And along with Bobby Shearman and Russel Ebert two of the finest exponents of the long forgotten "droppy" to ever grace the game...

Very underrated when you talk about the best Sanfl

that kick at 2.15 - it almost looks like a mis-kick but maybe that's the camera work - but otherwise a perfect kick to a leading forward

surely a drop punt is easier to execute than a drop kick though? I dunno

What about the Bobby Shearman set shot 65 metre droppy goal near the end....perfection.

Yep but some beautiful exponants of the drop kick in that video

Was too young too see Shearman play. Bagshaw used the nail the odd drop kick at Unley Oval in his last couple of seasons. The crowd would erupt

Robert Oatey was a great exponent as well

I'll tell you else were pretty good too in their heydey , both wingmen Malcolm Whitford [Roosters/Panthers] and Bryan Ploenges [Panthers], still reckon the droppy and stab pass are the most accurate kick if the players are in the clear.

 

[radiojake]

definitely a romantic aspect to the game that has long gone

do you reckon there would even be an AFL player able to kick a drop kick goal from 45 out?

Probably don't even know how to do a drop kick at all

realistically a drop kick isn't even allowed anymore.

A few times I've seen a player do what traditionally would be considered a drop kick (by accident because they're in the middle of being tackled) and the umpires have called it as incorrect disposal.

I reckon Jammo did one in his last game (from memory it was also the last game blight coached at FP)
