    87 the ABC had the rights to AFL & a now defunct organization called Sportsplay.

    For these reasons sadly games from 87 are rare and hard to find.

    The ABC didn't "keep" them. I have been through the vaults.

    Wow! I'd forgotten how great the football was back then. So much more exciting than today's stultified scrums. No wonder crowds numbers are dropping now. I hate to say it, but i am starting to agree with KB! The parallels with Richmond's run this year are also very obvious.

    The momentum that the Dees took into that finals series swept all before them, until of course, that fateful moment in the prelim. They were overrunning teams with a play on, knock the ball forward at every opportunity style. It was breathtaking and the they steamrolled their way to that prelim. they used the same style in '88.

    PS they had some guys who could play as well.

    I remember it well.

    What i had forgotten and you could clearly hear is the Demons supporters chanting "Hawthorn" - who would have thought

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
