Review NMFC 10/50-Games you want to see again

[Snake_Baker]

If anyone asks you why Carey was a better player than Ablett Snr., then just show them that clip @ 0:45.

If he didn't directly create 1.5-2 goals a game over the course of his entire career, then I will line up all of my membership cards and eat them one by one.

Gary Ablett Jnr. holds the current GA record of 250 in 346 games, but if Carey didn't knock up close to 400 in his 272 games, then I will give it away. You only have to look at his last 28 games at Adelaide, which is the only time they recorded that stat for Carey, 20 assists in 28 games. If you multiply that average by Giblets game tally then you get 247, and that only covers the period when he was completely stuffed!!!!.

He had to have cracked up at least 400 assists to go with his 727, and THAT'S WHY HE IS THE GREATEST ****ING PLAYER OF THE MODERN ERA!!!

When was that thumping of the Cats in the rain with Carey running amok? That game anyway.

1997?

I always thought as a club this was us at our peak. Ever.

Check Luke’s spoil at 4:00mins in and the faithful behind going mad. Havnt seen that since.

There were some really s**t umpiring decisions in that clip but none more so than Luke's deliberate out of bounds in the spot you mentioned.

One that they got right but Bruce gave himself away over was when Stringer jumped on Taz's back and failed to touch the ball and it then bounced through for a goal. I don't know what universe Bruce thought that wasn't an obvious free kick.

 

[Twinkletoes]

1997?

Yep, and there was another one at Kardinia Park earlier.

There are plenty of worthy submissions already. Me, I'd like to watch every final we ever won.

 

[ferball]

The only footy I'm watching are the games Scamper coached over the last year and the Bulldogs game.

I want to see future games not dwell on past ones.

There is something wrong with me as I can’t recall a single moment of this game, but I can remember with great clarity, Dunstall marking and goaling in the last minute from the boundary line the previous year as they beat us by 3.

I recorded this game as a youngster and bloody glad I did. It was my go to growing up in the 90’s when I needed a North fix. Everyone was on fire that night particularly Carey, Longmire and Mcadam up forward.
They were without Dunstall and Langford up either end, but still had a handy side on paper.

I have tried to find this game regularly on YouTube, but with no luck. I think the old VHS copy cooked it in the end.

As a lover of statistics, there are a few not noted:

• 1974 Preliminary Final v Hawthorn (never seen any footage of this one)
• 1977 Preliminary Final v Hawthorn
• 1979 Qualifying Final v Collingwood
• Round 7, 1985 v Essendon
  • some footage exists of this and of the 1977 Preliminary, but as North Melbourne’s two outstanding performance in its League history, I have long wished to look at them
• Round 11, 1985 v Hawthorn
• Round 5, 1986 v Geelong
• Round 4, 1987 v Geelong
• Round 6, 1989 v Essendon
• Round 9, 1989 v Brisbane
• Round 14, 1990 v Melbourne
• Round 17, 1990 v Geelong
• Round 19, 1990 v Carlton (never seen any footage of this one)
• Round 6, 1991 v Sydney

2001 I reckon.

Also have tried to find this game on You tube. It would be lovely to see again.

 

[rickety]

The one where Corey Jones sinks the swans in sydney
The one where Stevo sinks the bears at the G
The one where stupid brad johnson gave it to us at half time and then we won. w***er.
The one where big Mark Porter ran down Crawf
The one where big Drewy went bang bang bang bang bang bang bang against stupid footscray
The one when G. Archer was back against collingwood and smashed through whoever and whathisname to bang a goal at the G
The 96 GF coz I hate sydney and the richmond supporting w***er I watched it with.
That game last year when we beat richmond
The one where J.W.Smith and his mates rolled hawthorn in whatever final. Best footy trip pub viewing ever
The one in adelaide, Archers 200th? where Stevo was never ever gonna be right to play, but bloody well did

 

[Asifhe Givashe]

Saints in 2009 still one of THE great days, just quietly.

I have a DVD copy of it, but would want it returned (or I would mail it as an .mp4) since Name A Game closed two years ago.

Happy to grab a copy off you if you don't mind.

 

[mianfei]

Happy to grab a copy off you if you don't mind.

I’d have to make an .mp4 and mail it on USB (and require that USB to be returned), unless you can copy the DVDs yourself and return them to me. As a sidelight, do you have any footage of the games I listed earlier?

 

[giantroo]

All good. If you do happen to make it an mp4, you can always upload to a storage cloud (google drive, one drive, dropbox are options) and share that way. But happy to deal with any option.

As a sidelight, do you have any footage of the games I listed earlier?

No, I don't

 

[giantroo]

Thanks to mianfei for supplying the footage. I've now uploaded this game:

Awesome GR. But wasn’t that r3 1994?

 

[ChoppyGun]

The 1998 GF.

Not really.

This would be considered a mild reaction......

 

[giantroo]

Awesome GR. But wasn’t that r3 1994?

You're right. Fixed.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Waite was a true freak, when he was on he was right up there with best of them.

 

[Gasometer]

Some of you may remember Lucky Beanie through the 2015/16 Finals.

Lucky was bought at this game after I realised I had left my coat 4 hours away when I opened the boot.

I needed something warm so bought Lucky at the MCG.

Lucky has been all over Australia, India, NZ, Europe and the USA since.
