Here we go without another week delving into matches from seasons past...

Shirley this week's match is the 1993 shootout between Salmon & Ablett Snr?

Shirley this week's match is the 1993 shootout between Salmon & Ablett Snr?

I think that's probably what it will be. But some other candidates:

• Round 22 1998 (Cats defeat finals bound Bombers 10 points in final round of H&A season, Paul Lynch and Ronnie Burns star up forward)
• Round 4 2005 (76 point turnaround by the Cats, 20 points down in 3rd quarter becomes 56 point win)
• Round 15 2011 (our first loss of 2011, Stevie J kicks a ripping goal though)

It'd be great if the AFL app showed two streams at once for every match, that way everyone can see their team win and neutral fans have an extra choice in which match they'd like to watch

Yeah this is currently on afl.com.au

Yeah I went onto the app at 5:20, looked at it for a split second (enough time to see that it was that match) then turned it off. Two weeks in a row we've had rotten losses on the AFL app

Well watching Geelong lose is more entertaining

On C7 last Friday they showed the 07 prelim and the 7AFL Facebook page was posting highlights during the game. Only problem was all the highlights were of Collingwood

I did watch the 07 PF last week, geez I was pretty nervous watching it though, thinking back to what was at stake and the huge crowd. Even though I was only six at the time and don't remember watching the game live at all I think it's one match I don't think I'll ever be able to watch without getting nervous

Geelong Facebook page is showing highlights of the 89 prelim

Here are more highlights:


Curious to know what Malcolm Blight changed in the Prelim to turn the QF result around.
