old swans videos

[langers1971]

hey everyone

i am looking for old swans videos from seasons 1982, 1983 and 1984 only, either wins or losses, it doesn't matter.
i have tried all the usual places, name a game, afl video, afl, fox footy etc, but no luck, so if anyone can help me, please let me know by pm.

thank you

Have you tried channel 7 or the ABC? Worth a try.

Also, keep in mind that not all games were televised in those days. If sportsdelivered.com doesn't have it, than it means it doesn't exist.

let me point out for some people that sportsdelivered are not the be all and end all of afl football in regards to old footage, i am looking for anyone - preferably from melbourne who may have taped all the old swans matches from 1982,1983, 1984, as channel 7 used to show them live into melbourne each sunday.
channell 7 and channel 2 cannot help at all, i'm pinning my hopes on someoone with an old collection of tapes from back then.

There are very few reasons for anyone to have kept any Swans footage from that era. Except if you supported another team.

From memory VCR's weren't common back then (can't remember when I bought my first one) and blank tapes were quite pricy so there wasn't much archiving happening.

As you point out - All Sydney Sunday games were televised (that was a major reason for the move) so I'm surprised that Sports Delivered doesn't have them. Obviously their "Name a Game" is somewhat untruthful.
