Hi CJ, Perhaps you could pm me with your details and we could hook up, just out of interest, where are you?

Further to the Robbie Flower/Round 22 Video thread, my brother has in numerous boxes VHS tapes containing the replays of all Melbourne winning games from 1987 to the mid 2000’s. Included are 1987 Round 22, 87 Elimination vs North, 87 Semi vs Sydney, 87 Channel 2 Friday football show with Tim Lane and John Northey et al, and the as yet un watched 87 Prelim vs Hawthorn. All are taped from the TV replays, some with ads, many without ads. Most are complete games, but some are individual quarters dependant on what the broadcaster aired. If anyone has the capability to turn this VHS resource into a digital format he would be very happy to make them available. Perhaps even someone from the Club might be interested? Any ideas?

Confucius Says - "2 medium quality players does not a high draft pick make"

Um, isn't that what happened, we out scored them for the rest of the game by better matchups

Ditto

And I reiterate, nor does Alanis Morrisette LOL

Tapscott is a compact, leading, long kicking forward with, according to CC, "A bit of the P*$%K about him" He is the one that I am most excited about seeing. As with all emerging teams, we are a bit nice at the moment and I think to have a bit of Campbell Brown around the place won't go astray.

Might have been listening to Alanis Morrisette, she doesn't know what it is either

Nice one

I'm leaning towards 13 myself, he is making the previous incumbent look second rate (no disrespect OOze) - Jordie McKenzie you gun

What a bizarre thread this is!! I do not believe that any of our players will be adversly effected by playing in pink, and as a previous poster said, so what if the odd commentator or spectator makes a crack about the colour. It will only serve to highlight their ignorance to the cause that the club is supporting. As someone who has recently lost a brother, a mother and most recently an uncle to this dreadful disease; anything that helps to raise peoples awareness to the cause is priceless. I have been attending Melbourne games since 1969, I have been a member for many years, I am passionate about the club and where it is going and I attend as many games as I can but through all of that I try to keep in mind the fact that no one dies in football, no one deals with the battles that any cancer sufferer has to deal with and the idea that it is after all, more than a game is nonsense. So if we can use any tool available to promote cancer awareness and particularly breast cancer awareness I say bring it on. Perhaps when you feel like cringeing at the pink jumper have a think about what this is really about; saving lives. I am sure that will help

Unbelievable

Yeah, I too missed the game but have just watched the last quarter on the AFL website. I am on Mac but it played ok if only on low resolution. At times it looked a bit like a dodgy computer game from around 1992!! :D. I might try the rest of the game during the week. I found that at high res it buffered for ever. Go Dees

Love mine, wear it proudly (it irons itself against my rippling body....LOL)

I reckon we can take the Loins, we have form against them at the G and if Brown is missing, it makes it look more doable. BOG Joel Mac! Go Dees 17 points

Next!!!

totally agree, I have a vision of Russian and Gawn revolving through Full Forward and Watts feeding off from CHF. We are going to be exceptional!!

Always thought that the guy was a clown, doesn't he realise the Comedy Festival is over!!

Here is a nice article from the Age about how Col dealt with the stress fracture in his foot. Clearly another of our good characters around the club. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/coping-with-the-stress-20100417-sll0.html

Sylvia in Dunn out

Mate it is 4 points, it is a win, take it!! How many times in the last 3 years have we been in the Crows position? Too many to count; last week we should have had the win and didn't, thats FOOTY Go Dees, 2 in a row!!!!

Tapscott, Gysberts??

Hear, Hear, Good Luck to you and your family

Hmmm, not sure that this is necessary, we don't spend much time worrying about what the blokes look like, why worry about her? . BTW, she had braces which must have been removedover the summer.

774 gave him a real bake about his lack of penetration with his kicking.
