There's no footy. I need something to watch. There's the obvious ones in '17 and '19, but those aside, what Tiger classics are worth watching?
I'll start and go somewhat obscure - round 8, 2003. Richmond V Melbourne. Have not found the whole game, but here's extended highlights:

One of my favourites is Round 22 1982. Great comeback and a quality game.

Not sure which rounds or years, but:
  • v Hawthorn when Stafford whacked Everett and we came from ~50 down to win comfortably
  • one of the first Dreamtimes when JON kicked the winning point.
  • final round of 1997 when we denied the Blues a spot in the 8.
  • a game against Brisbane at Telstra where we came from a fair way back. I think Joel Bowden kicked the winning goal
  • a game against Port where the Geisch threw Duncan Kellaway into the forward line and the team made every effort to give him his first goal
  • James Hird's last game in Melbourne against us
  • Duncan Kellaway and Richo's first game against St Kilda

I just watched the 1999 prelim between carlton and Essendon. That's a ripping game. One of the best ever.

Kayo had a replay of Friday night game v Collingwood in 1997.

It was a great game of footy and we won!

-Campbell killed it off half back
-Benny Gale was a matchwinner thwarting Scum attacks in the last qtr
-Trent Nicholls was a great little player
-Richo was Richo. Did the remarkable and the unbelievable (in a bad way)
- Ben Moore looked good, what happened to him? Same Robert Powell
- Merenda was good
- Chaffey in the no.40
- Gaspar amazing reflexes and agility, couldn't kick
- Scotty Turner on Sav Rocca was a good duel

2017 Round 1: Butler, Caddy, Prestia and Nanks' first game. Beating Carlton. Probably Dusty's best individual game, 4 goals, gave at least 2 away and capped it off with a monster 75 metre torpedo that Caddy soccered through for a goal

The final round v Swans that capped off a 9-game winning streak to make the finals. 2013?

Rance repelling everything, Dusty kicking the winning goal and then we just held on.

Should've lost that game, if we knew what was coming the following week.
Its funny how they look so good. Like a side that would dominate but after that finals series they have turned into nothing football club.

#That's the same year Boak said
I hope you enjoy your September holidays, or something on those lines.

Ha ha how many flags he got since that day.

Shouldve gone to the Cats when he had the chance, he couldve played in more losing finals.

Any recent win over Geesook just to watch Scotts stupid face contort.

The 2019 Q/F final is a very satisfying watch.

Just listening to the commentators circle jerk over the Bears, and death ride the Tigers all game and will and barrack for the Bears really boiled my pisss.

The anguish from every non Tiger as we grinded them into the insignificance where they belonged on their home deck was then warmth to my soul.

The knee injury in the first quarter to Steve Pirrie that ruined his career, top young key back never really made it back.

Looks like an ACL too from the mechanism twisting of his knee very similar to the Trossmans injury.

They were the days I remember as a lad.

Loved em.

The Mothers Day Massacre against the Skunks was a big one.

Hoggie killed em.

Johnny Mrakov played for the Tigers against his old side.

Vs Port at Docklands in 2005 when they were reigning premiers and we were ordinary (reigning wooden spooners) - they started well then we tore them apart

The only game I ever purchased a copy of... I might have had a premonition. Round 10, 2010 Hardwicks first win. Defeating Port at AAMI in the wet.
