1971 VFL Grand Final

The 1971 VFL Grand Final took place on September 25, 1971 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between VFL clubs Hawthorn and St Kilda. The game was attended by a crowd of 118,192 people.

Match Summary

The Grand Final was played in wet conditions and both clubs were aiming for just their second premiership. St Kilda were 20 points up at three quarter time but Hawthorn finished strongly to win by nine points. Bob Keddie was Hawthorn's match winner with four goals in the space of 16 minutes during the second half after being moved to full-forward.

Going into the game, Peter Hudson needed four goals to surpass Bob Pratt's record for most goals in a VFL season but only managed to kick three which left him level with Pratt on 150 goals. Late in the Grand Final he had a set shot on goal to get the record but kicked the ball into the man on the mark Barry Lawrence. Other nears goals in the game for Hudson included running into an open goal and kicking it out of bounds as well as a disallowed goal on the run where the umpire deemed to siren to have sounded before the ball left his foot.
