From 1989 - 1993 Geelong were absolutely primed for a flag. If Ablett didn't get suspended against St Kilda in week 1 of the 1991 finals (the week after this game), the Cats probably beat the Hawks in the Semi the following week and march into the 1991 Grand Final. Keeping in mind, The Cats only lost by 2 points and they pumped the Hawks earlier in the season by around 7 goals. The 1990s as a whole were the absolute epitome of 'so close, yet so far' for the club. For one reason or another, the stars just never fully aligned when they needed to. A tremendously hopeful, yet ultimately immensely disappointing era for the club.
Sometimes people who are aware of what Rhett does give him the footage - other times he tracks it down himself. He talked about it on Broden Kelly's podcast.

Also 1993 they left their run too late
1:43:33 Monkhorst clobbered by Bourke, although camera doesn't show the hit.
Millanes last game
How do you find this stuff?

I think this was the game Damian Monkhorst said he got king hit in on Open Mike a few years back
Correct. D Bourke kinged him off the ball. Watching the 3rd it was brewing between the two. Disastrous day for the Pies for a host of reasons.
Now Geelong fans can stop whining that we don’t play games there…… any chance you can upload the 91 qualifying final between Hawthorn and West Coast?
