Old VFA club- why not have premiership reunions
Body: 

Old VFA Clubs reunions

Looking at old VFA clubs that are long gone why couldn't they have some old premiership reunions ?
I know Camberwell, Caulfield, Geelong West and Brunswick have had reunions since they left the VFA.

Lets have a look at the old VFA clubs that are long gone.
Northcote
1982 premiership- 30 year reunion 2012 (There is footage of this game)
1961 premiership- 50 year reunion 2011
Brunswick
1975 premiership- 35 year reunion 2010 Gabby Nolan might have footage of this game
1980 premiership- 30 year reunion 2010 Gabby Nolan or Bill Torney has video of this game
1985 premiership- 25 year reunion (might as well make it a treble, celebrate 3 flags in one hit) (There is footage of this game)
Sunshine
1971 premiership- 40 year reunion 2011
Waverley
1965 premiership- 45 year reunion 2010
Yarraville
1961 premiership- 50 year reunion 2011
Geelong West
1968 premiership- 45 year reunion 2013
1972 premiership- 40 year reunion 2012 Billy Goggin has video of the game. Second half
1975 premiership- 35 year reunion 2010 (There is footage of this game)
Caulfield
1973 premiership- 40 year reunion 2013 (There is footage of this game)
Camberwell
1979 premiership- 30 year reunion this year ?? (There is footage of this game)
1981 premiership- 30 year reunion 2011 (There is footage of this game)
Dandenong
1971 premiership- 40 year reunion 2011 (There is footage of this game)
1991 premiership- 20 year reunion 2011 (might as well make it a double, celebrate 2 flags in one hit) (There is footage of this game)
Prahran
1966 premiership- 45 year reunion 2011
1970 premiership- 40 year reunion 2010 Could be some footage of this game, although I have never seen it
1978 premiership- 35 year reunion 2013 (There is footage of this game)
1987 premiership- 25 year reunion 2012 (There is footage of this game)
Oakleigh
1972 premiership- 40 year reunion 2012 (There is footage of this game)
1988 premiership- 25 year reunion 2013 (There is footage of this game)
Mordialloc
1977 premiership- 35 year reunion 2012 Someone did have some footage but not seen for years. Maybe Bill Torney has it.

From the former VFA clubs, Dandenong, Mordialloc, Prahran and Camberwell have had team of the century nights.
Brunswick, Yarraville, Geelong West, Caulfield and Camberwell have had some reunions in recent years.

It would be great to collect all footage whether it is from channel 0 days or on 8m tapes.
I am sure tapes from Umatic, Beta or other formats can be converted to DVD
This would be great to collect in case old VFA clubs do have any reunions.

On the Sunday Bloody Sunday segment on SENs VFL hour the interview with Jimmy Christou and Paul Hepburn went down really well as it was a blast in the past and memeory lane listening to Northcote v Caulfield 1982 VFA GF.
