Bugger missed out. They should do it again and put a thread on the main board. Would get 10 grand in revenue easily.
I went a bit overboard, but I guess it's not everyday that Name a Game DVDs are going for $10 a pop.
Anyhow, here's what I ordered:
1st Semi-final, 1989 - Geelong vs Melbourne (63 point smashing. Geelong bouncing back from a 76 point slaughter the week before.)
Preliminary final, 1989 - Geelong vs Essendon (94 point smashing. Got it simply for the Gary Ablett show.)
Round 18, 1993 - Geelong vs North Melbourne (Ablett's first ton. Ends up kicking 10 on Mick Martyn as Geelong make a belated run for a finals berth with a 94 point smacking.)
Round 19, 1993 - Geelong vs Hawthorn (82 point win as the Geelong juggernaut continues to gain momentum.)
Second Semi Final, 1994 - Geelong vs Carlton (No Hocking, Bairstow, Couch and Hinkley, yet Geelong manage to win by 33 points to condemn Carlton to a straight-sets finals exit.)
Round 8, 1995 - Geelong vs Richmond (Tiger army up and running, coming into the game undefeated, but ran into a red hot Geelong, losing by 12 goals)
Round 9, 1995 - Geelong vs North Melbourne (Geelong down by a point at half time, but run amok in the 2nd half en route to a 10 goal win)
Round 11, 1995 - Geelong vs Essendon (Another classic Cats-Bombers clash in the 90's. Geelong winning by 11 points.)
Round 13, 1995 - Geelong vs West Coast (Grand final replay. Geelong overcome a goal-less first quarter to win by 52 points.)
State of Origin, 1995 - Victoria vs South Australia (EJ's lap of honour)
Round 1, 1996 - Geelong vs Melbourne (127 point smashing. Probably Ablett's last hurrah as he bags a lazy 9.)
Round 4, 1997 - Geelong vs Essendon (Geelong sneak home by 7 points in another 90's thriller between the two sides.)
Round 18, 1997 - Geelong vs Port Adelaide (Geelong avenge their earlier loss with a 85 point win, punctuated by a 10 goal final term. Probably Jason Snell's finest game.)
Round 7, 1998 - Geelong vs Essendon (Another single figure margin between these two sides, as Geelong sneak home by 9 points.)
Round 12, 1998 - Geelong vs Melbourne (Geelong keep Melbourne goalless for the first half en route to a 95 point drubbing that was marred by a season ending injury to Ben Graham.)
Round 22, 1998 - Geelong vs Essendon (Geelong end their poorest season in recent memory with a 10 point victory in the last game with Hovey as president.)
Round 18, 2000 - Geelong vs Adelaide (7 point thriller, with a young Joel Corey kicking the winning goal.)
Round 22, 2000 - Geelong vs Sydney (4 point thriller for a spot in the finals. Paul Kelly launches a long bomb on the final siren, but just misses.)
Round 14, 2001 - Geelong vs Collingwood (Purely for the Clint Bizzell specky fest.)
Round 4, 2002 - Geelong vs St.Kilda (122 point spanking. Getting it only to see a young Ablett jnr pinch the ball out of Trent Knobel's hands, and a young bloke who was then known as Jarad putting Stewie Loewe on his butt with a ripping shirt-front.)
Round 12, 2002 - Geelong vs Sydney (2 point thriller.)
Round 15, 2002 - Geelong vs Collingwood (28 point win. Memorable for Buckley smearing his blood on Ling's jumper.)
Round 16, 2002 - Geelong vs Essendon (Purely for the lols of watching Kingsley destroy Dustin Fletcher.)
Round 14, 2003 - Geelong vs Port Adelaide (1 point thriller with Ben Graham kicking the winning goal.)
Round 5, 2005 - Geelong vs Port Adelaide (Another thriller, with Tredrea seemingly being molestered by Scarlett seconds before the final siren.)
And I thought I spent a lot
Quite a few of those games I remember well. You have all those games from 2002, yet didn't find room for the Carlton game when Riccardi kicked the winning goal after you thought you had victory snatched from your hands? Also, that Sydney game, I think was Schwass and Lockett's final games and Hall's 100th. Sydney had every reason to win and you still managed to come from nowhere to win it.
One of my favourite games involving Geelong was round 15, 1997 against North when you won by ten points and Bluey McGrath laid a late to perhaps seal the result. The victory took Geelong to the top of the ladder and put North's top four hopes in serious jeopardy. The build-up to the game was massive.
Also, the final round of the same season against Sydney is one I thought you would have included too.
Bugger missed it too. What a bargain wish I had of known!
I won't ever bu off them until they are under 20 bucks.
Its such a rip off for a normal game on normal DVD. Wish they were 15 bucks all year round at most, they would make a truckload. I could easily buy a whole years worth times a few,
Couldn't agree more.
No doubt this promotion is to give them an indication of what sort of profit they would make if they lowered their prices.
If anything like this ever comes up again I'd love a PM.

there's an alerts area that'd be more reliable than a pm IMO
