Great news Geelong fans! The TV broadcast of the 2007 Grand Final (with commercials) is now up on the channel. youtu.be/NN4G4Oyqu4w

Now up online - 2hr 15mins worth of Richmond's 2002 season, as edited together by Tiger fan George P. Enjoy! youtu.be/nFrQXo_6GDs

#RIP Fred Gallagher, 94 Played 84 games with Essendon from 1952-1958. In 1957 he kicked 12 goals against Geelong. Only John Coleman and Matthew Lloyd have kicked more for the Bombers in a match.

#RIP Dickie Bird, 92 The beloved cricket umpire who officiated in 66 Test between 1973 and 1996. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

I say it every year, but rather silly they don't wait til end of the Grand Final before announcing Mark and Goal of THE YEAR . (I'm aware not every team can play in the final), but the award should cover first game right through to last game. #Brownlow

It's plausible a player has polled 4 x 3 votes in the first 4 rounds before, but #Brownlow voting up until early 1980s didn't publish what corresponding rounds the vote were for.

#RIP Chris Doheny, 64. Singer of The Footy Show's iconic "More Than a Game" theme. (His passing reported by Noise11) His voice was simply perfect for that powerful footy anthem that builds to a glorious chorus. #AFL

#RIP John Kilpatrick, 86. He played for St Kilda in 1960, then was fitness advisor at @HawthornFC for decades. He entered footy vision immortality when, 7 years after the 1989 Grand Final, slow motion isolated footage surfaced of him attending to an injured Dermott Brereton

Must say, having digitised many episodes so far of Footy Feedback, it is one of the best football shows ever put to TV. And most have never seen it because it was on Pay TV. No clickbait, just sensible discussion, great guests. Here's Rd 16 1997 now up online youtu.be/Y-n8LZ5xDFI

Remember when the AFL introduced 3 goal umpire. #AFL

In February 1885 the Richmond Football Club was formed. Yet until his dying day, the founder of the club would often say it was 1884. Join me in the forensic deep dive of Tigerland, month by month. tigerlandarchive.substack.com

Well, the ABC has knocked back my dispute. So sadly their wonderful last round Footy Grandstand broadcast of the 1987 season can no longer be seen on YouTube for footy fans to enjoy. I don't make any money from the channel, but obviously they wish to activate their copyright.

My February 1885 deep dive of the Richmond Football Club is now online. The club is formed, and the confusion begins! A stunning forensic analysis of the truth, lies, and myths. #AFL open.substack.com/pub/tigerlan...

I have rescued hours of footage that was being trashed by 3UZ/Sport927/RSN as part of its takeover. Footage includes John Blackman and Ian Cover in the studio, Bryan Martin (incl 20mins of outtakes), B Roll footage of Melbourne Cup, photos, and all of 3UZ history commercials. Wow!

Round 1 1986 - Collingwood v Essendon now up online. (1hr 56 mins) youtu.be/8IpQZAOCZl4

Great news! You can now save/bookmark Bluesky Tweets!

Strangely the entire 1991 Qualifying Final - Hawthorn v West Coast - is nowhere online. If anyone has a recording of it, I'm happy to borrow that and digitise and put up online. Cheers.

Thrilled that we've now put up online the 1984 3rd International Rules match - "The Decider" between Australia and Ireland. Winner takes all! youtu.be/9CPpOo27YOk

Amazing work by Weeksy and the team to safely remove the 1914 Richmond Grandstand Foundation stone, before the demolition. A huge piece of granite that will be re-inserted back into the new Jack Dyer Stand. Thanks to the media team for documenting its removal.
