As a 12 year old back then I have no knowledge of the Pies fitness or lack thereof. Having a lead of 44 points at halftime and then losing by 10 is heartbreaking for all on the Collingwood side.
Carlton, Barrassi simply outcoached Bobby Rose and rest is history.
Like all Collingwood supporters I still love Bobby Rose because he was a champion bloke from very humble beginnings in Nyah West in for north western Victoria.
