Never watched the 1996 one apart from being at the game as a 10 year old. So that gets my vote

Its depressing that basically none of our round 1 games in the last 12 years are worth a rewatch :rofl:

I reckon we’ve had a few gooduns.

Hawthorn in 2023 (Tippa) and 2017 (McKernan in the third). Adelaide 2018 (Hooksy). North 2014 was fun with Bruce crapping on about Uncle Pauly.

And I don’t acknowledge round one 2016 against Gold Coast, in my mind our first game that year was beating the Dees.

No full games on YT unfortunately.

2011 against the Dogs was great fun. The Hird optimism.

1999 against Carlton had some Mercuri magic.

2000 first game at Docklands could be worth a watch.

Lloyd beating Sydney in the first quarter of 2006?

Adelaide 2007 round one was alright.

And demolishing North in 2008 in Knights first game!

Some of them are quality but hard to find.

One of the biggest false dawns. Thought we were onto a good thing

1995 R1 v Fitzroy, keeping them scoreless to HT. Also:

1997 R1 v FC, Hird kicked 4, Berbakov 4, we wasted time at the end for about 2 mins before Mercs kicked the sealer.

Looked for that one. Unfortunately the one were kouta had about 70 touches and they won by 13 goals was on there.

I think there is genuinely no footage of that game. Must’ve been a radio only job.

You’re gonna need a substitute Time Lord for tomorrow.

That doesn’t mean you can’t vote!

Dr. Who isn’t available either, had to put the Tardis in for a well overdue service.

I honestly don’t remember any of those, unless 1999 is SUPER SCOTTY LUCAS.

don’t think it was, Mercs played one of his best games

We got married the weekend of the GWS and listened to it driving to our honeymoon spot.

I have that one being worse than the Geelong one.
