1966 VFL Grand Final

1966 VFL Grand Final

The 1966 VFL Grand Final took place on September 24, 1966 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between VFL clubs Collingwood and St Kilda. The match was attended by 101,655 people and they saw St Kilda become premiers for the first time in their history, winning by a solitary point, 74 to 73.

Twentyfive minutes into the final quarter and with scores level, Collingwood's Wayne Richardson had a shot at goal on the run but kicked it out of bounds on the full. St Kilda then began to work the ball out of defence after winning the boundary throw in and a kick from Ian Cooper saw the ball make its way to centre half forward. Collingwood defender Ted Potter failed to mark the ball low down and with the players scrummaging for the ball a bounce was called. Brian Mynott won the tap for the Saints but it was intercepted by Potter who was quickly tackled. Potter however managed to get out a hand pass but it found its way to St Kilda's Barry Breen who snapped at goal and kicked a behind to put his side in front. With about a minute on the clock, Collingwood were able to work the ball towards their forwardline. Robert Murray however was able to take a mark at centre half back and the siren sounded after he kicked the ball towards the wing.

One of the timekeepers was an avid St Kilda fan, and blew the final siren for more than ten seconds. [Jim Main, "Aussie Rules for dummies" (2nd edition, 2008) p 20.]
