Hoping like hell that the Demons can kill 2 birds with one stone today - smash Carlton and therefore take back top spot from the Fairypuppies!
Hi Sandridge, I do remember that day in 1973 being also an old South supporter myself. Have found (brief) after match celebrations footage taken from the Sensational Seventies doco. It starts around the 4:40 mark. (There's also bonus footage beforehand of Pitura & Padley of Fitzroy striking each other at the Lake Oval, each receiving suspensions)

Do we want Freo beaten and dispirited by the Bombers? Or do we want them winning and full of false confidence next week?
To be honest, I never minded Clarko that much, till he started telling the AFL how to umpire the game and in particular took cheap shots at Rampe and Papley.
Then he just became a cranky old turd.
And here’s what most Hawks fans have not realised. The bet he made on their list at the end of 2018, to go get Wingard, was a colossal blue. Port went thank you, and it helped them get Rozee, Butters and Dursma - as well as Burton - and they’ve flourished ever since.
And the Hawks now have a rotten list that condemns them to failure for at least five years. Screw him.
As a commentator, he's at least supposed to pretend he's impartial. He's too arrogant to do that. His involvement in the slanging match with David Koch over the Power's prison bar jumper shows that it still hasn't hit him yet that he's just a commentator now, and that's all.
