I was 14 y.o and I stayed home: VFL park was too far to get to, and considering the bombers were thrashed and Matthews had a day out, I was glad enough not to have bothered. In retrospect I'm now sorry I missed it - to have seen Matthews that day would I imagine be a life-long highlight for any footy fan.
Leigh Matthews ... no vision again but probably the greatest ever single performance in a finals game IMO was in the qualifying final on 4 September 1976 versus North Melbourne. Matthews kicked 7 goals 6 behinds, from 33 touches and 7 marks. After a tight H1 the Hawks kicked 8 goals in Q3 to move right away and only some poor kicking at goal kept the Roos in the game. Final score were Hawyhorn 14.19.103 to North Melbourne 12.11.83.
How did it not get mentioned? One player single handedly kicks the last four goals in a row in the last few minutes to just win and get into the grand final which they won. Nick Davis you are one of the best.
In 1977 Matthews was at the peak of his game at 25 years of age it was the last time Cable and Matthews played on each other was in the 1977 preliminary final. Cable was a couple of days off turning 34. Matthews was at the peak of his supreme powers at 25 years of age. Cable finished the match with 38 disposals and was BOG as North obliterated the reigning premiers by 11 goals. Matthews finished with 19 disposals. It was probably the greatest hiding ever handed out to the legendary Leigh Matthews. Greatest rover of all time?
Leigh matthews was the best player ive ever seen,for a small midfielder he could also play centre half forward/ forward pocket,lethal was a legend of a player.
Dusty wasn’t the Norm for 2017, that belongs to Houli or Rance 2019 maybe, I’d personally give that to Houli as well 2020 many players were better than Dusty, dusty just had a purple patch that did win the game so that would be given a tick imo
@@butlercorp I've filed a SMH Herald Sun photo of Bachar kicking away low, at full pace, in that first GF win. It's a mighty action shot. He played like two men that day - his rock-solid defence, and effective spearing passes. From memory, Bachar carried an injury into their third win. But still played like a hobbled lion. Fantastic player to watch (not a Tigs supporter).

Matthews was amazing, but dirty. Can't think of a better individual game than the one he played vs Essendon in 1973. It's painful to hear him called a midfielder. He was a rover & played on the ball that day.

@@-hobbit-9481 complete BS, it was 10 years after ww1, teams were no longer depleted and there was no 'fear of an imminent second war' at that time you twit, think before you post.
The first triple in the VFL was Carlton: 1906/7/8 if I have my numbers correct. Collingwood's 4 in a row as mentioned, then Melbourne's first triple 1939/40/41.
Matthews played in the greatest team of all time. Lockett was just as dominant and played in arguably the worst team during the bulk of his career. Likewise Ablet Snr. Geelong were a joke of a football club in the 80's. Ablett gets there and immediately they begin climbing the ladder and go on to play in four grand finals mainly because of what Ablett did every year he was there. His impact was just as good as Matthews. Not as consistent but individually, he won more games on his own than what Matthews ever did. 2 poor grand finals and 2 good ones is good enough to be regarded as GOAT. If Geelong had a defense like Alan Jeans preached, game over. Geelong win multiple flags. Royce Hart is Richmond's greatest player. Forget Martin (not even top 20 all time). Hart dominated his position. Take him away from that team, they never win a single premiership. Take Martin out of Richmond, they still belt Adelaide and GWS.
The most consistent match- winner I've ever seen.....That makes him the best in my books....915 goals from a bloke who played First Rover for the majority of his career, barring his last 4 seasons....Only Kevin Bartlett comes closest; & he's still almost 200 goals behind Barney & with 72 more games to his name....Nuff said.
@@alansimmonds9030 are you sure you are only remembering the finals? Because he tore up the finals like Dusty, but had many off games during the home and alway season.
