Great thread VM and excellent research.
I will set aside some time to read all the articles in full. Amusing to see how the standards and style of journalism has changed over the years, along with the stats, which until about 1990 were mostly just who kicked the goals and who were the best six for each side. Then it all changed.
Two games come to mind if you can find anything on them. One was a rare and unexpected win at Windy Hill in 1974. I was there with some mates. That was a great day and we celebrated at a Carlton pub afterwards.
Another was a remarkable game against Sydney at the SCG probably in the late 1980s where I think we kicked 8 goals to nil in the first quarter and led by about 50 points ... but we were trailing at half time! I think we lost that game in the end.
