Might have been able to wear Adidas in 64, but they sure as hell weren't wearing them style soccer slippers as footy boots way back then.
Just had a quick squizz at Mr google n old Adi fired up as far back as 1924, after WW1, then had a come back after WW2. Been around a while making footwear n other sports gear.

Melbourne are going into the game unchanged from their 1964 Grand final line up.
With Hassa Mann going into the centre and Graeme Dixon moving to the wing.
I assume you mean Brian Dixon who I believe was the last vfl/AFL footballer to be a sitting member of parliament whilst still playing footy?
Just a bit of trivia

Fun fact, Adi Dassler and his brother started the original shoe company but had a big falling out. Adi started Adidas and his brother started Puma. But it was Adi’s son Horst who made Adidas the biggest sports brand in the world by pushing athletes to wear Adidas shoes for a few $$. There was a time when nearly every gold medalist at the Olympics wore Adidas.

Just at the ground.
Melbourne are already on the ground.
They're warming up 5 hours before the game,
They want to be switched on,
They can't have anymore lapses like they have had over the last 60 years.

Umpires again, perfectly good tackle by Aarts, Melbourne player clearly throws it. Free kick Melbourne.

Maggots obviously struggling with the new rules already. Missed Balta going sideways on the mark early, missed Peetracca going sideways even when Flossy pointed it out to the maggots.

Bloody commentators. Start of game, Tigers at full strength but no Presty, Lamblett, Rioli, Houli. FFS, just make noise dickheads.
