WAFL Action from Days Gone By


Graham MossRon Boucher


Names such as Krakouer, Bosustow, Moss, Boucher and Michael bring back memories of epic Saturday afternoon battles fought at suburban grounds around Perth in the 70s and 80s. We've been trawling the ABC archives to bring you some of the great moments from our great game, including some classic footage from the 1979 Derby Grand Final.






These videos are in RealMedia format and Quicktime format. [more information]

Key:

    We offer two versions of the RealVideo, a high bandwidth version for people with high speed connections, and a low bandwidth version for people with modem connections.

    The RealVideo clips stream, which means that there is no lengthy waiting time before you can enjoy the action. The trade-off is that the quality can be a little rough during fast paced clips.

    For the best quality viewing, we recommend the Quicktime clips. They do not stream, so you will have to wait for a while for them to download. In return for waiting, you will enjoy a better quality video clip
