RooTube and kangaroos.com.au presents: Classic Matches. Every week we will discuss and present highlights of a memorable North Melbourne match - this week's match is the 1975 Grand Final between North Melbourne and Hawthorn.

North Melbourne finished the 1975 season in third place, with Hawthorn on top of the table.

The Kangaroos upset Carlton in their first final, a tight tussle resulting in a 20 point win to North Melbourne. The Kangaroos ironically played Hawthorn in their semi final, the Hawks advancing straight to the Grand Final with an 11 point win. But North Melbourne fought back strongly in their Preliminary Final, saluting by 17 points over Richmond.

North Melbourne would get their chance for revenge against Hawthorn in the Grand Final, as 110,000 fans packed the MCG on that one day in September.

RooTube takes you to the first half of the match.
