Stats in those days were pretty basic. (No computers then) From memory it was mainly kicks, marks, handballs, tackles, ruck knocks, freekicks and scores. Our stats team consisted of several past players and we were assisted by about six Year 12 students from Melville Senior High. There no special boxes in grandstands those days. At the Grand Final that year we actually had a reserved area on the front row against the fence. I doubt whether anyone has kept the stats sheets as they were given to the coaching staff at each break and after the game.

On one occasion I can remember that Bradley-Smith went ballistic at half-time when a now prominent football identity was blasted for not having laid a tackle.
