Dublin Jim - The (other) Jim Stynes documentary


Grapeviney

Recommended Posts

A documentary titled "Dublin Jim" was released after he won the Brownlow Medal and had lots of great footage / interviews on Jim's journey.

I've got it on video somewhere but it would be great if it was re-issued and re-mastered for DVD.

I checked on Name-a-Game a while ago but there was no mention of it on the website... I wonder if it's worth contacting them, or the club, to try and make this great doco available again?

It was re-issued on DVD, I've got a copy

Don't have any idea if still available

I would expect an updated one would be planned by somebody already

Edit: error, sorry it was a VHS tape see post #9

nice meeting you today GV. I too love that docco. I used to whack it on almost every saturday morning before going to my own footy games. I was hoping we might hear 'Dublin Jim' play as Jimmy's body was driven away. Kinda glad we didn't, I would have lost it for sure.

Daisy, is there anychance u could upload the DVD to youtube for us?

F**k Kony, this is the documentary 30 million people need to watch.

If we truly want to change the world we'd give each human a copy and I can guarantee noone could watch it and feel it didn't change their life.

I had this on VHS but cannot find it anywhere. A friend and I used to watch it all the time. I also seem to remember watching it with a cousin of mine too. You might know him Grapeviney. :)

If I remember correctly you and your cousin knew it by heart, word-for-word

sorry to mislead you. I just found it and its a VHS tape (duration approx 60 mins by Australian Football Video Pty Ltd)

could have sworn it was dvd....ah well

P.S. don't have any VHS capture hardware

Ages ago I transferred all my VHS tapes on to DVD by playing them on the VHS and recording them at the same time on to my digital camera then transferring them to DVD; it was a bit of a process but well worth it as I no longer have a VHS player.

if you have a Digital camera they explain how to do it in the manual.

You can of course take it to Michaels Camera Store or someone like that and they will do it for you. I'm sure you would be able to cover the cost by offering to sell the DVD's to members on here.

do you mean a digital cam-corder (not camera) Robbie?

No digital video camera. You put your cassette in the digicam and record it on that from the VHS then connect it to a computer and download it after which you can run off a DVD, as I said it is a bit of a process but once you have it on your computer you can download as many copies as you want. These take time as well.

Markc one of the posters did the Robbie Flower one a couple of years ago.

I have a VCR hooked up directly to a DVD recorder so I just press play and record and it's done. PM me if you wanted to organise a way to get this onto DVD.

RobbieF do you have many games from the Northey era? I have a decent collection if you're willing to trade some? PM me to let me know.

Unfortunately I have none, all my DVD's are family holidays.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
