...and I wouldn't be attributing the 1970 loss to Colin Tully. Des Tuddenham lined up a Carlton player before half time and as you know, only succeeded in KO'ing Peter McKenna who kicked a bagful by then; therein the GF was lost.

Vale Colin Tully. Sad that another boyhood hero has passed on. Another from that heartbreak Bob Rose era that deserved better. ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ _________________ VOTE NO. Cancel the Cancel Culture. |

I agree with all of that....including the 70 yards bit! I was merely recalling my memory of being at the 1970 GF and sitting only 20 metres or so from Tully, who was clearly wanting to be moved off Hopkins. However, as you say, the collision between Tuddy and McKenna is what ultimately cost us that Premiership. |

That is sad, i recall him well, could kick the ball a country mile, i remember as a lad, one game at the G, v the Tigers, he booted a goal from the centre circle, it bounced a bit, but was one long, long goal. He wore No. 9, nuggety type of guy, played in 1970 GF, i thiink that was his last game. Good player, ruck rover i think.

That drop kick goal by Colin Tully was in 1966 at the MCG against Richmond.
It was replayed the next day on "World of Sport" with Jack Dyer lamenting.
I wonder if it's on tape anywhere. |
