When I heard that there's no footage of Dunstall's 17 goal game against Richmond in 1992 it got me thinking about the best games you've witnessed that now also live only in memory!
 
I once kicked 40 goals in 1 game against the best players to ever form a team. Wish someone recorded it. :(
Next minnut, the footy hit the sprinklers and the team woke up having to evacuate the hotel the night before a game?

Beating the Bombers at the G by 160 points with Sheedy trying everything including putting Derrick Kickett on Dunstall !!
 
Why is there no footage of that game?

According to AFL Tables, there were four games being played in Victoria simultaneously at 2:10pm that Saturday afternoon - Hawthorn vs. Richmond at Waverley, Melbourne vs. Sydney at the MCG, St Kilda vs. Adelaide at Moorabbin, and Collingwood vs. North Melbourne at Victoria Park - and no Friday or Saturday night games. Wouldn't have been unusual in the VFL days, but assumedly then and in 1992 as well, there wasn't any intent to televise each game, so they probably didn't send camera crews and broadcast teams to each match.

I recall seeing highlights of that game, the next day I think. I'm sure name a game had it, but because VHS is now so outdated just stopped making copies, ran out or exposed of them.

Never thought Scott Turner would resort to being an arsonist. Hope he also wiped out most of our games from the late eighties.

Those blokes were not responsible for the bad times. I would name them but you wouldnt remember them. See Duds from the past threads.

Is the 1989 hawks v geelong princes park match on tape? Famous game

Didnt your namesake kick plenty in that first half demolition before the big comeback.

Can I just ask, as a millenial with no brains whatsoever, wtf happened in the late 80s and early 90s? I understand scoring is quite low now, but there are some seriously stupid but somehow common score lines out of that era. Did teams play with 6 forwards and zero defenders or something?
