The round 1 1989 game is silent and has no on screen graphics, I think it was taken from a master tape with no commentary or anything. If anyone knows how to source an old radio call of the game let me know and I will sync it up.

    I found this on Facebook today:-

    Happy Birthday Jeff Chapman AM.

    Chapman is a one-time forward playing 2 senior games for the Melbourne Football Club in 1966. He is founder of fund manager Bennelong Group.

    The 1965 Hawthorn Annual Report trumpeted the signing of Chapman, but he signed with the Demons after becoming friendly with Peter Smith and Ross Dillon. Training with the side in the 1966 pre-season the deal for the former Carey school football captain was sealed when he booted 7.8 in a practice match.

    He later went on to found Sportsworld Media and make 75 million pounds from its sale in 2002. He amassed a total fortune of over $500m in sports marketing, media and property. He also owned 35 golf clubs around the world.

    On 26 January 2019, Chapman was appointed as a Member (AM) in the General Division of the Order of Australia as part of the Australia Day honours, receiving the award "for significant service to the community through philanthropic initiatives".

    Amazing. I still remember all the coodabeen champions Norm Smith had amassed at the start of '66 season who were going to bring the Dees back to glory, inc. Sid Catlin, Ed Burston, Kerry Rattray, Vearing, Ken Jungwirth. Alas, decades of despair were to follow!

    Looking forward to this now, @Dr. Gonzo:

    [From Wikipedia] "The wettest Melbourne winter since 1952 saw horrible conditions between Rounds 11 and 13 that produced several unusually low scores".

    Thanks for the great work!

    One for the ages, this one.

    At half-time we were 1.11.17. And were in front!!

    Buried them in the second half with an avalanche of goals to finish with 6.16.52.

    Classic!

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

    • GAMEDAY: North Melbourne

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.
