Hawthorn beat St. Kilda for the 1971 Premiership flag.
It was only the club's second premiership - the first being in 1961, when it beat Footscray [now the Western Bulldogs] for the flag.

Melbourne, I believe, over Essendon.
It was one of the few that had to be replayed due to a drawn result on the first attempt.
As I'm aware, all 3 replayed Grand Finals in history have, nevertheless, been won very convincingly on the second attempt: none of them have been close again on the second attempt at a result!
There was no 1877 VFL grand final. The first season of the VFL was 1897. The 1897 premiership was won by Essendon.
