Name a game closed a few years back, unfortunately that would have been your best bet for VHS/DVD.

Any games in particular? Hopefully someone can help you out.

Acquire all tapes of the Friday night game against Freo where Modra kicked 10 and burn them.

The early season win over Essendon that  year was a fantastic performance against the league leaders that year.

We kicked about 20 goals that day and the Wiz was amongst the goals.

Hopefully you can get your hands on that particular game.

Beating the Hawks in round 4 by a point under the Friday night lights was the other highlight of the year.

In all seriousness, that was one of the finest performers by a forward ever. 14 disposals, 10 goals 2. I remember it well. Wasn't a great night for Melbourne supporters but it stuck with me as a night I witnessed perhaps the last great game by one of the game's all time greatest forwards. The only thing I remember from the 1999 season. Alongside Jeff White missing most of the first half of the season, and Alistair Nicholson was our fill in ruckman.

Sorry to go off on a tangent but...

I saw something recently about the 1993 season and how Dunstall didn't make the AA team after kicking 123 goals

That year Modra kicked 129.61 and Ablett 124.60 (from 17 games!) and only two key forwards were selected as AA

McKay won the Coleman last year with 58.33. Crazy how the game has changed - sure they were legends of the game, but the forwards in the game now can't be that bad!

This is the first one I think of when it comes to that year. I had it recorded on VHS somewhere.

Remember that bouncing ball 'goalkeeper save' by Tingay?

There were only 20 games in the H&A in 1993 as well 😲

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
