Obviously pre-2001 Marks and Goals of the Year can sometimes be a bit unreliable on Wikipedia.

So i was going to slowly  try and add video citations (instead of an article written years later) to the entries.

(If no video citations exist then a contemporary report would suffice)

I found the ABC 1978 Goal of the Year winner tonight while digitising - its Rod Ashman. I've added that to Goal of the Year wiki and the video citation.

Also added Stan Alves as 1979 ABC Goal of the Year winner - and added video citation.

Have also added video citation for Michael Roach (ABC) in 1979, and Geoff Raines (ABC) 1982

If anyone comes across any other video citations of the actual announcements of Goal or Marks of the Year from 1970s/80s/90s do tag me and I can add them into the wiki.

(for instance, I'm a bit suspicious of the Snake Baker entry for 1978 Goal of the Year. It obviously would have to be Ch7s, as I found ABCs tonight,, but there's no further info about it, and I wonder if it is a transcription error from him winning the Mark of the Year that same year. I know the AFL site has him as 1978 Mark of the Year but no idea where that is from)
