    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 😲

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
