I'm bored, what games should I watch?
- Thread starter hutstar
- Start date
Both games are good, I have that DVD box set of '67, '69, '73, '74 and '80 - well worth finding the DVDs.
This is one of the best:

I always felt kind of down on GF replay night when I was younger... We only had one premiership in color for so long, and I'd seen it enough!
I'm sure the '74 DVD is in colour (unless you take the attitude, which most of us had back then, that 6 years was too bloody long
).But yeah, the B&W ones have a certain charm but colour is better.

Interesting Dave. I kind of feel like pre-say 1977 footy was old school, and anything later isn't. I trhink it's just my age and me getting into footy around 77 (I was 6). Now that needn't transfer to me as an adult but does for some reason. I will however chase down 74 and give it a whirl.I'm sure the '74 DVD is in colour (unless you take the attitude, which most of us had back then, that 6 years was too bloody long

Have just started watching the 1995 2nd semi v Essendon. Have just started the 2nd quarter and a few things stand out to me, 1. Matthew Lloyd was a born cheat! Early days in his career and the boy new how to suck the umps in falling over left right and center!! 2. Sam Newmans hatred for how the umpires officiated the game went way back
3. Matthew Knights while a touch slow by foot was an insanely good footballer! Back to watching it.

"Fighting Fury "on u tube . Richmond FC history 1999Australian Football Video. costasports.
It is a wonderful history of the RFC fron Dyers time till 1999.
I loved the videos of the late 50s and early 60s which are rarely seen.
Best of all is the Hafey/ Premiership era.
Of note..the sides are very tall, usually three ruckmen.
Hart, Bartlett, Barrott, Bourke were stars. M Keane was very impressive in the 70s and was our home coming hero for the last game in 2019 v Lions. Wayne Walsh was a standout and would be a star now.
Speedy became a great on baller with football smarts and very early use of attacking handball where most others just kicked.
Wonderful to see Whale Roberts, Bustling Billy, Mike Patterson , Fred Swift , Nev Crowe and Tommy who have all left us.
Of note, we were very dominant in the early 70s.....flag 67,69, GF 72 and flags 73 and 74. The best team over a decade by far.
It is two hours long but highly recommended.

You are corect DS. ‘74 DVD is in colour.
In fact, ‘74 was actually broadcast in colour, the first GF to have been.
But many people at the time still had B+W TVs so not that many people saw it.
My family didn’t get a colour tv until 1977. Made watching my favourite show “Harry Butler in the Wild” bloody awesome.
It amazes me that the AFL hasn’t had a lot of those old GFs put into colour. Must be a cost thing, but I still would have thought there would be a market for them.
In reply to the thread about 2017 finals posted this.
If you have AFL Live Pass (free to Telstra customers) you can get it.
Click videos on the bottom menu.
Click Category as "Full Match Replays" at top of screen.
Click Team as Richmond at same area.
Scroll down to GF 2017 - seems to scroll waaaaay back ( went to 2010 and gave up)
Haven't done it but you can now upgrade your AFL Live Pass to view on desktop screen, maybe link to TV I guess.
Best of luck, let me know.
Placed here for others, including myself now I've found it.
By the way, BLOODY WELL DONE BY THE AFL to make this available.
im watching 7s footy vault... 2013 Elim...... Having never watched since that day it's quite palatable knowing how the respective futures of the clubs panned out
Conca coming back from injury does his hanmy in the first qtr. Off.
Big bad Busling Griffens sneezed and kod himself. Off.
We were 2 players down after qtr time.
On a serious note we were down 5 players, Vickery, Griffems, Jackson, Conca and Pittard were all playing.
Been watching a few games, the other day I watched the Round 1 game between Carlton and Richmond and noticed Carlton's banner:
Hmm, better than your 5 year plan I reckon
I do remember while watching the game that the umpiring was ok, then turned to s***. At one point it was 10 frees each, by the end of the game 25-12. How does one team get 15 frees while the other gets 2? Grossly inconsistent umpiring if you ask me.
But I will grant them a pass, they did debut with this one in 2018:
Yeah, thanks, we enjoyed that cup, and the one a couple of years later.
Am now going to watch all of 2017.
Also watched that game from 2003 where we came back from 51 points down to win against Hawthorn and also the last round of 2014 I think where we held on to beat South Melbourne at the Olympic Stadium in Sydney.
Some good games to watch out there.
