Such a shame, when man played against man instead of prima donna against prima donna
Differant world now compared to when players weren't wrapped up in cotton wool and had day jobs.
Wow. Certainly a sign of the times. I don’t remember women’s footy in the late 70s but hey, I was only 12 so why would I have cared? The cameraman (certainly a male) has lingered on his shots of T and A…enough to give the director an opportunity to replicate those scenes from the middle aged male fantasy movie of the year, ‘10’. The one with a braided hair Bo Derek running slow mo down a Malibu beach being ogled by Dudley Moore.
Just came across this footage whilst randomly youtube surfing.
Seems Iike it begins with a women's exhibition match followed by Men's first grade.
Not much analysis of game and shame no audio, but awesome footage nevertheless.
Wonder if this was meant for a documentary or intended for commercial use. Can see that footage fitting in perfectly for a tooheys commercial.

Not contesting scrums was a decision made by channel 9, they worked out they could put in another two minutes of advertising if they could speed things up...
Those 2 tries turvey scored against cronulla semi final 1979, absolutely brilliant!!.
Ah, 1979, I was there along with 21,000 others, no SMortimer that day, Tim Pickup played half back. I was also there for the 1979 GF against St George at the SCG, with 51,000 there. Didn't win either game, I always thought we should have won the GF if Robinson had played. That year showed what was ahead, with 3 x Mortimers and 3 x Hughes.

Yeah Turvey was on fire that whole finals series against Wests, Cronulla and Parra. I was at the Parra final in the small stand next to the hill...full of Bulldogs supporters....great memories
Eric Hughes not a bad player
Yeah like others said, maybe initially filmed for promo?
