It wasn't red, it was an "oily", darkish yellow ball, nowhere near the brightness of footballs these days.

Might be wrong, but I don't think the ABC telecast went to SA, just Seven's.
I recorded it and have watched the 1st half only.
-Naley (on fire in the 2nd qtr), McDermott and Rendell leading the way for SA
-SA defenders on top of a very handy Vic forward line which included Lockett, Ablett, Brereton, Osborne, Barwick.
-forwards staying in position!
-seemingly much less jumper grabbing in marking contests
-players generally putting in a big effort to knock the ball out of packs
-overall though a pretty scrappy game in fairly heavy conditions
