In the 1964 episode, we have to mention those poor poor lions! South Melbourne try to recreate their famous foreign legion with a recruiting spree. Richmond’s new coach has a tragic beginning to his coaching tenure at the club. 5 teams fight tooth and nail for the 4 finals spots. Collingwood with a new coach seems to be back with a vengeance, and Norm Smith has his last hurrah (so tune in all you Demons fans)!
