Yeah Tooves with hair, the heathen-Hasler in the centres, and Cliffy...God as always.
No don't remember what Blocker got for the love-tap on Eddie Ward @simon64 but it was still amusing nearly a quarter of a century on.
Can you believe how long ago that was?
I loved footy in a different way back then.
Good win for us that day too.

4 matches and fined $5,000 !
Brookie Brawler
Reserve Grader
Hate to admit but
3 Hasler - Big hand in 2 early tries and everywhere in defence but the hair got him over the line
2 Toovey - Typical Tooves in everything and scored 2 tries which both required more than just backing up
1 Liddiard - Magic step and speed for one assist and miracle ball for another
Brookie looked amazing. 23k and no empty patches to be seen. I forgot about how the hill used to wrap around to the FM Stand with a tunnel underneath for access. Not sure why that was changed.

Exactly, if we didn't attend, we would not have seen a televised version.
I think we only used to get one game a week when Moose was calling them on TV.
Some Saturday games were on the ABC.
Remember dashing for the bus to make it home to watch the end - in B&W back in the 70's. 🙂
Video killed the RL Attendances 🙁

You could probably add to that the fact that back then (the 60s, 70s, and possibly some of the 80s) shopping centres closed on Saturdays at noon and didn't open up again on Monday morning so more people would then be able to go to the footy to fill some time over the weekend (especially during the colder months).
As for footy coverage back then, 7 used to show the match of the round on Sunday night after the news and during the news, Rex would tell you to leave the room if you didn't want to know the score. 7 then lost the TV rights to 10 who also used to show the match of the round on Sunday night after the news. The ABC used to have a game on every Saturday afternoon at 3pm.
I remember the ABC coverage with Warren Boland. They used to replay it on Sunday morning. I remember watching a game against Wests when Peter Jackson chimed in with "Wests think tackle is something you take fishing". We were giving them a fair touch up.
The two of them were waxing lyrical about a replacement that come on that day. His name was Steve Menzies.
