Time: 27 mins; last quarter
Lou: "Ball back into play again - there's uh Campbell going down to the ground; he knows his side has this victory in the bag - and a short pass coming over to Wilson there on that half forward flank position...another pass, and there's Irwin. Through the good work of Alexander these uh small players have really bobbed up since half time and they really broke away in the third quarter. Irwin...looking there for arr McCarthy and he's got the mark down there in the forward pocket."
Bob: "Lou, it's been Walls that set the whole thing up though. His first half, and he's carried it on right throughout...and Walls has been a great player tonight."
Lou: "Great player. Certainly uh been a...y'know, it must be very enlightening for uh Fitzroy to have this player playing well now because...y'know, after all the trouble to get him...and finally McCarthy fires...and he's put it through for one point and at the 27 1/2 minute mark we see Fitzroy 13.18.96 to North Melbourne 2.8.20 and of course they're certainties now to be the champs of 1978 for the Amco-Herald Cup...and it's been a very disappointing performance by the top side of the league, North Melbourne because they've been put out of business since the word 'go'. The ball knocked out; picked up here by uh Hassin, over - uh Cassin, I should say; over to Henshaw who gets one in the back and he'll take the free kick down there on that half back line. Henshaw...kicking the ball back there...Icke up in the front but Quinlan's a bit too tall...couldn't grab the mark, but there we see Boyse trying his hardest to get the ball back towards their half forward line...but once again coming up there is Brian Smith*; gets a wild kick up towards the wing position; picked up by Thompson; he gets up-ended that time by Cassin but the ball is out of bounds on the centre wing..."

Peter: "There's the siren!!!"
Lou: "And Fitzroy are 1978 champions in the Amco-Herald Cup uh Championships; 13.18.96 defeating North Melbourne 2.8.20"
Peter: "What an incredible match; North Melbourne kicked 2 goals in the first 3 1/2 minutes...and it must have been a million to one that they would be the only goals they would score for the match. Very jubilant Graham Campbell...Bernie Quinlan...we'll be having the presentation shortly; as the crowd streams onto the field."
