I nominate the 1990 GF, not as mean as the 89 GF which flew under a different banner, but mean all the same, play games like that now days and police would be on the field.

1971. No beg pardon's if you don't mind.
David Parkin is on the record as noting the game was played without the ball in the first half.
No defence?89 was the toughest of them all..... a different game to the one they play today.
They played football, a different game to whatever it is they play today!No defence?
Very different
2020 was pretty tough.
Two teams displaced from their homes and their families. Living interstate in camps essentially for 110 days.
Within the first 5 minutes, one player torn his calf and played out the game. Another was concussed and stretchered out and a third player took injections into his shoulder on numerous occasions, playing through the discomfort and pain in his last ever game.
Then later on, another player was wheeled off the group when his teammate leaped to mark a football, resulting in friendly fire that let him helpless on the ground.
One team was trailing by 20 points at half time, only to turn the result around and make it a 5 goal win.
Certainly 'tough'.
