Game Review

This is the game many Fitzroy fans rate as the one that made them realise that they were a big show for the flag that year. As is well known now, their loss to Hawthorn by 4 points in the Qualifying Final was probably the reason they did not win that rare (and perhaps) last flag. Of course, history shows that it can now never be.

One lasting memory is of Fitzroy's Mick Conlon in one of his searching runs towards goal. At one stage he carried the ball from the edge of the centre square to the top of the goal square at the scoreboard end of Princes Park - a distance of approximately 45 metres - and while doing so, bounced the ball only once!!! Now I'm no mathematician, but.......
