Unfortunately it's pretty much the same set they always play though.
What is Geelong vs Collingwood round 3?
Real pity there are so few games from the nineties there let alone eighties. Every Geelong fan already has the GF dvds so a bit of a waste showing those.

Yeah they should really try to delve into the archive for memorable home and away games. Such as:
1989 v Collingwood (1st game). Ablett's 7 goals and insane final quarter.
1991 v Hawthorn. Our first win in 6 years against them, Bairstow absolutely annihilated them.
1992 v Brisbane. I've still never seen the first quarter.
1993 v North. Ablett kicked 10 to bring up his hundred.
1994 v Melbourne. Ablett's last 10 goal haul.
That was with zero thinking involved too.

Apologies if this has been covered but we recently got foxtel again and I've recorded all the cats games which has been great to watch some old games in the off season.
But they are taking up pretty much the whole hard drive of the box is there anyway to transfer them off the box onto a USB/external hard drive etc?
I need some more space on there some non footy shows didn't record for my partner and she wasn't impressed.

Those 1989 and 1991 games are unavailable, but two wins against Essendon from Round 19, 1988 (last time ever played at Windy Hill and biggest win ever there) and the big win at MCG in front of eighty-seven thousand certainly are. As is Round 17, 1982 against Carlton – one of only two wins after May that year but very convincing against the eventual premiers. Maybe available and one I would really want is Round 12, 1989 against Melbourne in the MCG mud after a cool and rainy June..I recall just how bad the MCG was that winter, but utterly long for the sheer variety that 1989 season had!

There weren't any 10 goal hauls in 1995 when he won the Coleman?
Edit- yep none in 95. Kicked four or more goals in ever game bar 1 with his best haul being 9.

Thanks Bobby yes it's such a shame I'm going to have to delete a bunch of them I've really enjoyed some of the home and away games from our recent great years.
A game I really enjoyed watching even though we lost was the 2004 prelim final to me tant was the end of a bad few years and the beginning of our greatest. I remember being at the game and watching us compete against that great brisbane side. We dominated possession for a lot of the game but couldn't kick enough goals I thought at the time we just lacked a key forward or two to kick it to.
But there was a real emergence of a number of players that went on to have great careers with Geelong. There were a few years between the era of almost but never quite 90s and the great triple flag years the team was terrible.
The game you could really see the light at the end of the tunnel, it's often mentioned that the 05 semi vs Sydney was the beginning. In my mind that 04 prelim was when it started to come together and players stArted to believe they could compete with the best when it mattered.
It was a great day. Sean Wight had beaten Ablett in the opening round and it sure looked like Ablett remembered. He kicked 4 in the first quarter. Really looked like he wanted to prove a point.
lol I don't remember that one.

Was at that game as a youngster with a Pies-supporting mate. We'd resolved to grab the Sherrin and bolt if it came our way, but my mate actually got it in his hands at one point and pussied out, throwing it back to the ump (throwing it)
I remember the specky on Cloke's shoulders; we were right behind the goals there so very close.
Ablett took a mark after the siren (he'd already won us the game) and inexplicably played on (or at least tried to crib a couple of meters) - ump called play on/dead ball/game over.
I also remember some nut in the crowd was literally throwing away wads of money!
Seen them all a million times who cares
The only 2 Geelong games( or part of) id love to see are
(1) 1967 Preliminary final 3rd qtr Geelong v Carlton ( who were favourites having played in the 2nd semi )
Half time Carlton lead by 4 goals - in the 3rd qtr Geelong kick a match winning 8 goals to 1 and turn the game on its head - and into the GF - John Sharrock kicks 4 of the 8 goals
(2) Footage from an early 1950s game between Essendon and Geelong featuring John Coleman - last year when they showed Coleman in a game against Footscray - they said some private theatre operator at the time had film of a Geelong game at Windy Hill featuring Coleman - and there was still a very slim chance they could find the film .
Getting to see those 2 games would be like finding a 1930 Penny

They keep saying the game today is faster then it's ever been, just watched the 94 Prelim against North and the pace was an absolute cracker, as quick as anything you'd see today, plus the standard was much higher them most of todays matches, no rolling mauls, no negative zoning, just high standard old fashioned footy.
