It’s well worth checking out Rhett Bartlett’s YouTube site Rhettrospective.
He’s featured in the Footy Record tomorrow with other custodians of the game’s history. Including at least one who posts here occasionally.

Ken Dakin was the main commentator. Special comments from Doug Bigelow.
I can't recognise the voice of the other commentator. I read on You-tube that it's Dick Mason, but it doesn't sound like him. Could be Noel Bailey.

Re: 1966 ABC Grand Final broadcast. Full game.
It was interesting to realise that we are very lucky to even have one flag after watching the last quarter a few years ago.
It’s going to take a momentous effort and a lot of luck to get another shot again.
The chips are stacked against us!

The captain led from the front in the last quarter. Today, he would be an on-baller - and played that role from about half through the last quarter.

It’s not better. It’s different.
I like listening to the game on the radio. A totally different experience.

Hate to say it, but how poor were the skills compared to today’s game! Half of the players couldn’t even kick, and some couldn’t handball!!!
They were pretty good marks though, contested marking was a lot more common place back then as they kicked to packs. And all you did at school was jack in the pack!
Thought Cooper was BOG
Cowboy, Stewart, Seirakowski
Played well
Thompson was a giant in that era
