The HD version is Ch 210, the SD version is Ch 531.

Very bizarre...I have fox HD and cannot locate either!

I taped a game earlier this week ... Rich V Syd at Waverly I think from R4 1996. It was a "Frantic finish" (I'll say)Great game.

Just watched the end.

Last quarter, 13 minutes to go. Swans down. Ball comes out of the centre towards the swans goal (well, towards Plugger). Plugger drops the mark, does his own roving, kicks to Roosey (20m out right pocket), and Roosey kicks on and scores. First time we'd hit the front all game. For the next 13 minutes we go goal for goal with the ball mainly at the wrong end. Four minutes to go, Tiggers are behind by 4 are very nervous and have ample opportunity to kick a winner, but only manage 2 behinds and two out on the fulls. (Remember that although Richo was a gun, he was still a kid.)

1 minute to go, the ball is bounced up in front of the tiggers goal, someone rushes it through for a behind.

36 seconds to go, the ball is bounced up in front of the tiggers goal (AGAIN), MickyO gets under and slaps it back towards our goal, Nicksy (who had "saved" the game a few times already, soccers the ball in Pluggers' direction, Plugger's got two on him, so he soccers it on a little further, a Tigger picks up the ball, kicks it back to their end, and then someone blew the hooter.

We win by a point. This was our grand final year.

Q1: Richmond 4.4.28 Sydney 5.2.17
Q2: Richmond 6.7.43 Sydney 3.8.26
Q3: Richmond 8.13.61 Sydney 5.10.40
Q4: Richmond 9.16.70 Sydney 10.11.71

Plugger kicked 6.5. Crowd 33,847 (although the ground looked empty).
Totally @@@@ful Melbourne day ... wind one minute, rain the next, then the sun, then back to rain.

Game #16 for mummy-boy rocca.
Roosey played all over the place -even rucking in the last qtr - he was very fit that day, only one thigh taped to kingdom come.
Bradley Seymour had a "no sleeve" guernsey. The long-sleeve one must have been in the wash.
Chapman - 24 gamer. Cometti: "Chapmans looking to cement a place in this team".
Darren Gaspar 24 gamer. Had Plugger almost on a string, but Plugger took a screaming one hander on him that made poor Gaspar almost cry.
Matty Nicks - 2 gamer and kicked a goal.
Robert Walls coach of Richmond. Not happy Jan.
Rocket had hair.
Cometti: "Heuskes and Luff - Sydney's blonde bombshells!"
Mullets, mullets, mullets and more mullets. Except Richo - his hair by the 2nd qtr was in a ponytail. Mmmmm. Didn't he end up bald?
Richmond supporters booed Maxi every time he touched the ball - which was quite often. Cometti: "Maxfield is a prodigious kick of the ball." You reckon?


Very interesting take ... the flood was being "toyed" with, and I don't think that stoppages were Roosey's idea. I think Filandia had instructions to get the ball out of the boundary in Richmond's forward 50 every time it went in there. Cometti made special comments about it. Swans were almost playing ugly footy.

I was at that game, remember it well, it was wet, windy and very effing miserable. I remember the last 5-8 minutes, Richmond just peppering their goals and just couldn't slot one through, we were employing a flood that would have made Noah proud in those last few minutes.

The thing that stands out for me the most was the dying seconds and plugger running from the centre square to the wing to soccer the ball forward against 2 tigers players, I swear you will never see plugger run faster than that in his whole entire football career. For those that haven't seen it, just check out the last minute of the game. God was the big boy moving.

Only 2 hours for the PF - unless there's no ads (unlikely) that will mean some editting will be necessary

I guess it's a tad disappointing, but we should get most of it. At that time in the morning it won't be ad heavy.

I'm looking forward to it, it's one of the few important games over the years I never managed to keep a tape of, will be good to record and get it on a DVD for posterity.

They play the whole game - ads only between quarters.

[j s]

They play the whole game - ads only between quarters.

I know they have been showing the whole games - but taking 2.5 hours to do it (reducing to two hours when the ads are removed for archival purposes) - this game is only 2 hours WITH the ads.

They can cut out the first quarter. I don't need to see that again
