Inattention? What weren't you watching? So how can you comment if you weren't watching?
Gees settle down, some of you blokes are a bit precious. I did watch the footage of what was on Youtube, I believe it was the whole game although may have just been portions. I didnt notice Robran as much as I'd expected as I'd heard how much he dominated, whether thats because I didn't hear his name called by the commentators, or I didn't recognise him in the footage as much as i expected, Im not sure. For the record I don't dispute at all that he was dominant and a clear BOG, its just I didn't notice him as much as I expected in the footage.
Are you sure that you didn't watch the highlights of 1971. The only available footage is the Channel 2 coverage and that is only edited highlights. You would have sworn that Port won that game they show all Port's nine goals and only 6 of North's. Yet if you look at the stats Robran was clearly best on ground in that game as well. Just listen to what Russell Ebert says about those two games. I watched the video of 1972 again last night (I know I need to get a life) and Robran was head and shoulders b.o.g.
If you don't think he dominated who do you think was b.o.g.
