1972 VFL Grand Final

1972 VFL Grand Final

The 1972 VFL Grand Final took place on October 7, 1972 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between VFL clubs Carlton and Richmond.

Exactly 50 goals were kicked in the game, making it easily the highest scoring Grand Final in history. Alex Jesaulenko kicked seven of them while Robert Walls and John Nicholls bagged six each. Richmond's team score would have won a Grand Final had it been any other year up until that point but they finished on the losing team, handing Carlton their 11th premiership.
