Before Pay TV when it was just Ch 7 covering AFL, Ch 7 would usually just televise 2 games... one would be the "Match of the Day" shown Live into Sydney and Brisbane, while the other was taped without a live audience, but was used for highlights for that evening's replay show which was shown in Melbourne.
Sometimes Ch 7 would have to cover a third game Live for the Adelaide and Perth tv markets for the Crows and Eagles respectively... but for any games left over, they simply did not get televised... perhaps just some highlights would be taken from a stationary camera with no commentary and just the Raw sound of the crowd.... all games did get radio coverage I believe utilising multiple radio stations in Melbourne
And I must say it was glorious

Trivial pursuit, monopoly, etc
There was a night game in Adelaide in the mid 1980s - I presume it was Escort Cup - in which Glenelg beat Sturt after kicking roughly 10 goals to nil in the last quarter. Jim West kicked a goal after the siren to seal it.

There's some games on YouTube that have the "scoreboard" footage from VFL park, so there's a chance someone out there has the footage of Dunstalls 17 - I vaguely remember seeing highlights so they must've had at least one camera (no commentary) at the ground and they would've had to have had some type of footage for trial by video reviews.

Name a game used to have far more games available than are now advertised on their site. I remember in the Record/Inside Footy they'd advertise practically every game of every round as being available from the early 90s on. They generally only have the finals and the odd games here and there available now up until some time in the mid-late 90s

Claremont vs Hawthorn Escort Cup 1980. I don't think the footage exists anywhere anymore.
langers1971 may have a copy
Is there footage of the SA v Victoria game in which Stephen Kernahan kicked 10?

I'm sure I remember watching, at least highlights, of the Dunstall game as a kid on TV.

The previous week featuring Geelong against Fitzroy was every bit as good. Incredibly the pattern of the contest was very similar to the Hawks match. Unfortunately I don't believe there is any footage available.
Was that the week prior? Had forgotten that. I went to this particular game. Cats hd a 5 goal lead but lost after Caton? (Looked like Roland Gift - lead singer Fine Young Cannibals) kicked a goal on the siren.
Game also at Princes Park

They are massive scores when you look back at them now.
This might help you understand a little. You know those five to ten minute passages now you can see in games where the ball is coming out of the centre a few successive times and heading straight for a shot to either team? Think of that, but for the whole game.
Almost every possession won and following disposal was achieved against just one opponent player, not three or five or ten. So if you won the ball, you pretty much always got a clean disposal (usually kick) away. Now if you win possession, you have about 14 opponents within ten metres, and so it's hard enough to get a handball to a teammate (also under the same pressure), never mind an effective long kick to another 50-50 or better.
For your team to generate a decent shot at goal, you only had to win about three 50-50s, or coin flips, in a row up the ground. If you had a few guns, those quickly turned into 80-20s.
Also think about this in terms of the battle between forwards and defenders. Say Jack Riewoldt. He is almost always competing to take a mark in a pack against at least five defenders, and so more often than not it is spoiled. But one on one he is very good in the air. Think of him one on one all day, and the ball kicked to him in that situation say 20 times a game. That was footy in that era.
and became a very good full back. He and Bullus were a great defensive spine. Highly underrated.

Paul Bullus with the long hair. Love these flashbacks. Love how you guys had a good emerging season in 94 then that breakout year in 95 where you went on a run at the start and eventually played in a prelim after coming back against the dons the week before.
Richo, Gale, Edwards, Daffy, Naish { just remembered him } Jurica, Cambell, Knights etc. **** good times.

There's no footage of Lethal having 41 possessions and kicking 11 goals 3 behinds against Essendon in 1973. Not surprisingly for the time.

That 95 Semi Final was an immense game to be at - Knights kicked 3 running goals to get the Tiges back into the game after trailing at half time from memory

The AFL should release a streaming service with every available game, condensed highlights or full match.
Wouldn't mind being able to rewatch the career of a certain player or follow my clubs season from a by gone era

Yeah my cousin is a Tigers supporter so I went to all the finals games that year. Been to a few infamous Tigers games over the years as well, was there when they beat the Crows at Docklands with Wallace's flood/keepings off (~2006) as well as when they beat the Bombers when Joel Bowden kept rushing through the points (2008) and of course the 2013 EF against the Blues.
Was also at the G to see them lose to the Hawks in 1990 and was watching the Demons launch a famous comeback against the Bombers from 6 goals down at Windy Hill in the last quarter via the A v B on the scoreboard.
