It's well done but I'm not a fan of leaning into the "lovable losers" schtick. I don't really care about the skiing/Chardonnay stereotype but let's not reinforce an image of being a horrible underperforming club. We won a flag this decade FFS 🙄 I'm sure I'll get piled on for being negative but I don't think projecting that image is going to endear us to potential members/supporters.

But must be redeemed by Nov 2026 (unless anyone was thinking of banking some for the next couple of years 😂)

What about the north west corner, where the "Caulfield" sign is? Or is that the train station?

If you've watched the uploads you will have seen how good Strawbs O'Dwyer was for us during the 1988 season. He won the B&F and was extremely deserving, had an outstanding season. He was a big loss for us in the GF, obviously he wouldn't have been the difference between winning and losing but may have helped keep the margin a bit more respectable. Thank god for Port and 119. O'Dwyer out led to Northey swinging the magnets, Danny Hughes was starting ruck and Steven Stretch put on Dunstall. Not sure why Stynes didn't start ruck maybe Northey was trying to catch the Hawks on the back foot. It didn't work. For those who are suckers for punishment, here you go. For the rest of you, look away now.

We've all seen the finals plenty of times I presume but will leave here for prosperity 😁 I've also uploaded the non-Melbourbe finals games if anyone is interested, can check my YouTube channel.

Unfortunately that great win in round 16 against the Pies was followed up with two big losses, a taste of things to come in the GF against the Hawks and perhaps showing we were lucky not to play the Elimination Final in Perth against the Eagles.

Yeah the lack of a key forward killed us in 87/88, we got Bennett in 89 but we still lacked those 2 or 3 elite players. We needed another 2 Garry Lyons, one forward, one mid, one back.

And the week before that Swans game we beat the Cats in Geelong, when we were on we were on but our form was always fluctuating during those Northey years.

Like I said AppleTV is usually good at this, I never get asked to verify the household for Netflix using AppleTV but do every time via the native app on Android TV's. You might have to select "ask app not to track" or something, usually it gives you that option so if you select "yes" it will know what you've watched if you login on another device.

This one is a great game very entertaining footy and we belted the Pies too, can't ask for more than that. Brian Wilson had a very good game from memory (I watched it a couple of years back).

That's bad because usually AppleTV is the best way to avoid this detection as apple don't send data back to providers. It's the best way to beat Netflix password sharing restrictions.

Taken from BigFooty. St Kilda's numbers 😲 Update.

Yep was talking abut 2027, current membership packs went on sale Nov (Oct?) 2025 so not sure they had locked in the price rise by then.

And it will go up again next year with kayo premium going up to $46/month this week.

It may depend on your internet od but the servers also take a hammering during big games due to the number of people watching which could impact the live feed. I've actually found the opposite in the past, live games were true HD whereas the replays had been condensed and looked to have a worse frame rate making them appear jittery when the camera was panning the ground.

The only time I watch FTA now is when the Grand Final or Aus Open is on. Been that way for more than 10 years. But watch plenty of ABC view/SBS on demand too. I bought the digital It's been fine the last couple of years

Brief highlights of the non-televised round 2 1988 game (Grinter breaks Wallace's jaw) 1988 Round 3 Saturday Night Replay

As mentioned on another thread I've been collecting old games for about 15 years and have a decent collection. I plan on uploading to my YouTube channel gradually, I've just put up the replay of the round 1 1988 game against the Tigers. I'll try and add videos to this thread but if you subscribe to my channel it should be easier to be updated as the videos go up.

No sorry to say, I don't think MFC were chosen for many of the televised games back then 😞 Most of my stuff is from 1987 onwards though I do have a bit of early 80s stuff as well.

Some of those suburban grounds would've definitely given the Kentucky Derby a run in the decadence and depravity stakes 🤣
