Oakleigh



The early 1970s brought Oakleigh’s most consistently respectable performances for twenty years with first division grand final appearances in 1972, 1973 and 1974. Unfortunately, only the first of these was won but the 25.17 (167) to 18.15 (123) defeat of Dandenong was one of the most exhilarating exhibitions of VFA football witnessed up to that point.
