Thanks. So many new games to watch.

As I recover from my knee surgery, I can’t use the need to sit in bed resting my knee as an excuse to watch as many as I was straight after surgery. Mrs KZ eventually got onto me. A man can only spend so long on the morphine and oxy watching football replays all day. Happily I’m back at work and don’t need the pain meds. The footy nostalgia is still great fun!
 
Is there any chance that anyone has extended coverage of the 190 point win over Melbourne from 1979. I've seen the minute's worth of footage available on Youtube but never anything more.

Alternatively, any games where my childhood hero Bob Beecroft (I wore his number, but never went the bowl cut) kicked 7 or more goals.

there is no extended coverage of the 1979 game, it was not a televised game back on that day.

That was the game that saw Fitzroy begin a climb from 1–8 to fifth. Odd that some of St. Kilda’s games from those dark days can be found in full even on YouTube.

When I read about the game in The Age a few years ago, one thing I noticed was that a “Rendell” kicked thirteen goals in the reserves. That “Rendell”, I discovered was not Matthew Rendell, whose absence was a critical factor in Fitzroy’s shocking start to 1984 but his brother Tim Rendell, who never played a senior VFL game.
