5. 1979 first semi-final – Collingwood def Fitzroy

Fitzroy kicked off their 1979 season with an 80-point thrashing of Collingwood at Victoria Park, a ground they hadn’t won at for decades. Later that season, they kicked an astonishing 36.22 (238) to defeat Melbourne by 190 points out at Waverley. Helmeted rover Garry Wilson, who won the best and fairest by 151 votes, was a dominant figure.
