Carlton 1979 Premiers - AFL / VFLPrice $18.40 - Delivery $3.90
Nine years before, these two sides has played off in one of the most
remarkable games in Grand Final history with Collingwood coming off
second best. You suspected the Magpies had been waiting for the day. And
just before half-time after showers had soaked the MCG and the 113,000
gathered at the great stadium, it looked as though they were set to
exorcise the demons which had haunted them since 1970.
Collingwood led a ragged Carlton side by nearly five goals and the Blues were struggling badly.
But
then came the masterstroke from Carlton captain-coach Alex Jesaulenko.
He shifted back pocket Wayne Harmes into the centre and made some other
slight modifications. But it was the move of Harmes which generated
Carlton's comeback.
He started pounding the ball his side's ways
and in the twinkling of an eye the Blues were back in it, in fact they
led by one point at half time.
Collingwood couldn't believe it.
Its players were sure they had dominated the first half, but went into
the long break behind. It was morale shattering stuff.
To their
credit they didn't chuck it in, even after Carlton had slipped out to a
twenty-one point lead at three quarter time. That's when the Magpies dug
deep and came back hard, but you always felt as though the Blues had
something up their sleeve and a moment of inspired genius from Wayne
Harmes led to the match winning goal - one of the most hotly disputed in
league history and one, to this day, that Collingwood fans detest.
But
once again the flag went Carltons way and as any Blues fan will tell
you, they don't taste any sweeter than when won over their arch rival.
