The Final Story: 1980 VFL Grand Final | Finals History | AFL 

Ray Shaw still haunted, but at least he played in grand finals unlike some champion players like Matthew Richardson and Brett Deledio who never got the opportunity. Richo never really got anywhere near it, thrashed in a prelim and out injured the only other time the Tigers made the finals throughout his storied career. 800 goals, 0 grand finals. We love you Richo.

1st game I ever saw, 6yrs old in NZ... Instant addict

My dad played in this Grand final his name is Stephen Mount

My dad was the Center-Half-Back in the grand final

went to nearly every game that year ..except when we had to go on school camp, but we brought our radios..i think that was a game against North, our tent fell down everytime we kicked a goal

Still got my ticket from that game and the footy record with KB signature on it

Francis Bourke and Kevin Bartlett are the only players to have won all five of Richmond’s premierships between 1967 and 1980 during the Halcyon era of 1966-1982. Michael Roach kicked 288 goals in 65 games between 1979 and 1981 averaging 4.4 goals per game.

I remember watching this as a kid

Richmond's ''preparation'' for the 1980 GF sounds like an unholy marriage of a Kafka story with Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica. Madness.

They’re idiots saying he could equal the grand final record with 7. The grand final record was 9 by Gordon Coventry. Gary Ablett equaled it (not broke it) in the 1989 grand final

Go Tiges!!!

i remember The Club great movie

I'm curious, the Collingwood players are also celebrating with the cup. Is that something that was common back in the VFL days or was there something that inspired it in the game.

collingwood got a lot of ex Richmond guys; Hafey, cloke, raines Taylor

Collingwood lost 4 grand finals in 5 years, as it turned out. [ I wonder what the 5th one was which they are on about ? Maybe the 1970 one. ]. They could claim the superior aggregate performance. But then again, Carlton won 3 out of 4 flags around that time, and 2 out of 3 in that exact time.

Best team in the league

Darn the tiges!,

go pies!!

Just curious, when did the tradition of swapping jumpers after the Grand Final game end?

What year was this published (In the real world not RU-vid)

What a game

What’s with the ads ffs

Afl rocks😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😠😁

Was on a red rattler on the way home at half time with thousands of other black and white supporters . About 30 seconds in this video is as far as I'll go. I've watched the other losing GF final stories. But this was a slaughter. Tigers were fresh and we fought all the way from 5th. Had no chance really. The scoreboard was reflective of that. The Tigers should have beaten the Blues in 82 as well..The Blues paid a hooker to play with heads of the Tigers, both heads.

Go ds

1980 was also a great year for Australians at Wimbledon and this should have been mentioned before the so called dingo which has nothing to do with Sporting triumphs

Could it happen again?? GF 2019???

First

Go tiges

No offence, but this was probably the most boring final story. There was nothing particularly notable about this grand final. The other were at least milestone or great games. This was neither
