For about a decade, I’ve thought that playing 17 a side with only two followers stands as a logical outgrowth of ground rationalisation (especially via Docklands) having largely eliminated the place of the small rover à la Platten or Liberatore from my younger days. 17 a side with only three in...

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...

The game against North Melbourne is one I have been after for a long time – in full, even. It was certainly replayed and I have some hope the full game could be found. North had won five consecutive matches and Geelong were coming off a second loss to the Brisbane Bears at Carrara, followed by...

I was curious about this game because of the prospect of the Suns becoming the first team to go 0 and 22. The possibility gets talked about in the pre-season by fans every year but not since Fremantle in 2001 has a team been winless so late in the season. Only two (Gold Coast now the third)...

I’d agree - so interesting to watch in the coldest weather of recent times. Then, what about the 2004 First Semi Final against Essendon, also in the wet and a flashback to 25 years before 2004, when the two clubs played it seemed three wet games out of every four, or more precisely about three...

One did have that feeling when Geelong were opposed to the invincible Carlton side of 1995 - which could easily have gone straight 25 wins and no losses but for a few injuries mid-season and which I thought would go 25 and nil at the beginning of 1996. One also had the feeling that the great...

That's probably true in many cases - and not only for losing grand finals. One can see such cases as: Port Adelaide in 2004 after three finals failures in 2001, 2002 and 2003 that were each more emphatic Essendon in 2000 after being upset in the 1999 Preliminary Brisbane in 2001 to 2003 after...

That was an amazing game of itself. Carlton, who had not lost to Melbourne at Princes Park since 1904 and had won twenty-six of their last twenty-seven encounters, won the first quarter by one point, the second by four, and the last by one kicking 3-8 (26) to 4-1 (25), but by kicking 0-7 (7) to...

It has been awfully troubling: I have had to have my computer repaired to hopefully stop repeated stalling The State Library seemed to be saying that they had a block on the site I went to an Internet cafe and lost $8.70 trying to connect but it again failed After a while I asked the people in...

Re: Classic Geelong games on 7TWO and Chooseday Night Football I agree one hundred percent! In addition, I also agree with "thecatattack" that something different from the standard dry-weather, high-scoring games needs one day to be the discounted game, even though Christian Ganaban says other...

Re: Classic Geelong games on 7TWO and Chooseday Night Football I would love that one too, but it is not available and was probably not ever televised. To see 102 goals scored in two games (fourth and second highest aggregate scores of all-time), though, is an incredible feat for a Geelong fan...

Re: Classic Geelong games on 7TWO and Chooseday Night Football I wholeheartedly second that recommendation! One misses the variety wet grounds could create before Docklands was brought in to replace Waverley and all the suburban grounds were phased out because of their poor quality (actually...

Re: Classic Geelong games on 7TWO and Chooseday Night Football Which goal are you talking about? Was it Geelong’s last quarter goal? Moreover, if you know the game, would you like to see it on Name A Game special or would you prefer something else?

Re: Classic Geelong games on 7TWO and Chooseday Night Football That game was not available (lost in both digital and analogue tape) until recently. If you cannot get it, there is a game you should try to get from Name A Game - I got it last birthday for my uncle who is a big Geelong fan. It...

Re: Classic Geelong games on 7TWO and Chooseday Night Football I actually voted for it because nobody had chosen my favourite game between Footscray and West Coast in the mud in 1992, and I was looking for a game of real statistical interest rather than simply one between popular clubs. Good...

Re: Classic Geelong games on 7TWO and Chooseday Night Football Agree one hundred percent. The 1989 First Semi would be particularly good, with the second highest-scoring quarter in a final ever involving an amazing ten goals ten in slippery conditions! Even more noteworthy, in a similar vein...

Re: Classic Geelong games on 7TWO and Chooseday Night Football A big week in fact for real “classic” Geelong games this week is. To be shown following the 1996 Colllingwood game: 1:30 AM Wednesday July 14, 2010: Geelong v Brisbane, Round 10, 1996 (draw) 1:30 AM Friday July 16, 2010: Adelaide v...

Re: Classic Geelong games on 7TWO and Chooseday Night Football Another Geelong versus St. Kilda classic, the 1991 Second Elimination Final, will be on in a week at 1:30 on 7TWO. The exact date is Friday 25 June at 1:30 AM. I recall reading about this game though I have never watched any of...
