Fascinating footage... Some things haven't changed - the early scenes depicting the tangle of trams, cars and people around Wellington Pde near the Hilton, people marching down the familiar paths to the ground, past boys selling footy records, and terrible camera angles either from a million miles away or too low on the ground!
Ever noticed how most players in really old footage seem to run with very straight arms, kind of Cliff Young style?
