Fun Fact: This was the hottest Grand Final on record it reached a peak of 30 degrees. The record was broken in 2015 when the weather in Melbourne was 31 Degrees
This is the Broadcom version of the game - televised to pubs and many channels outside Victoria / VFL territory. Foxtel occasionally replay the ABC version, which was the 'real' coverage at the time.
Pre- game bet, Carlton by 5 goals It made the final quarter exciting and it was a buzz to hear 'You know your football' when I collected I could see very early in the season Carlton were going to win in '87 They had the lot and used it Blistering pace all year...no-one went close Only the bombers in 2000 looked better and I'd pick the bombers v this blues outfit, 87 v 2000...Carlton 13 years ahead if the comp in '87
One of their team mates was in hospital being treated for cancer... and earlier on in the season (you can spot when it happened because Meldrum wasn't the same player afterwards), one of the best players in the history of the sport was horribly injured in a car accident. Meldrum is reported as holding Motley's head together after the accident. It was a somber game for us supporters as well... knowing that we were missing Des English and Peter Motley.
Although who actually produced the games is questionable. Watch the 1987 SF between Sydney and Melbourne ... clearly a different crew and director@@thatwasmymistake
Pretty broad question. We didn't know about concussion the way we do now. '87, for many reasons, was the year of change. New teams and a tentative attempt to monetise TV rights. Some of the tactics are pretty basic, but it actually made the game more fun. The 6-6-6 rule is an attempt to recreate some of that. The 80sare my childhood, so I'm biased. It was an era of Saturday afternoon games, radio callers going "around the grounds" and declaring, "we've got the close one". Do I miss it? Hell, yeah. @@Jaydenloa2003

Hawthor played both days.
@@twomindz79 Poor Hawthor.

Poorthorn
Lol everyone goes on about how hawthorn won the famous preliminary final in 1987. But they don’t talk about what happened next week
Exactly Hawthorn think they have never lost a Grand Final

Most of that team went to 7 in 1988 when 7 got the rights back
Great comeback by the umpires at the end of the 1st quarter.
Very cool uploads. Do you have any more matches from 1970 to 2017?!

Was this broadcast nationally on the 7 network ?
No. The ABC had the rights in 1987. This is the version used in the pubs and clubs
Bob Skilton saying Brereton getting harsh treatment when he was holding Rhys - Jones . Great player Bob but open your eyes. The most biased call.

CIgarette advertising on the billboards, my god. Criminal.
They don't seem as happy as teams in the modern era to have won the grand final???

The year when the ABC had the rights for the season
It is, but only in Victoria. This is the Broadcom coverage seen interstate and in pubs and clubs via satellite.
Best year to watch tv. No ads
