Hello

Hoping someone here can possibly assist me, i am searching for old Melbourne games in season 1999,either on vhs or dvd.  i know it wasnt a great season for demons fans that year, but any help is appreciated

I am not looking for anything that is on youtube, torrents or has been downloaded at all

If you think you can possibly assist me, then i would really love to hear from you

 

thanks

 

 

 

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 😲
