It says something about a club like Essendon and how they treat players when a bloke like Paul Salmon comes to Hawthorn after a long career with Essendon and ends his career saying he thinks of himself as a Hawthorn player who once played for Essendon. We loved the Big Fish at the Hawks.
You only needed to touch the ball to be awarded a mark. lol. The skill levels today are much higher. I had been a Pies supporter for 23 years before I saw the Pies win a premiership. Our captain was ahead of his time when it came to skill level. GoPies.
Between 1958 and 1990, The Magpies played in nine Grand Finals with a net return of eight losses and a draw. 1960, 1964, 1966, 1970, 1977 (draw), 1977 (Grand Final replay loss), 1979, 1980, 1981. Since the 1990 and 2010 Grand Final victories, they have lost in 2002, 2003, 2011 and 2018 plus the 2010 drawn Grand Final.
Full credit to the 'pies, but Essendon were handicapped by Sheedy, who instructed his team to attack the man and not the ball. Under the miscreant Irishman, the 'dons were the dirtiest team in the league. And who is to say God did not play hand, when the ball so often bounced unfavourably for Essendon?
@@Yalbou Oh, I think the man has a good grasp of the game. My beef with him is that purposely instructed players to injure an opponent, and bragged about it in an interview. He needs to get out of footy and get into boxing.
If you're a purist, it would have to be 2010. That was a far superior Collingwood team to this one. And the 2023 edition will go down as the weakest premier since maybe Sydney in 2005. Three finals wins by a combined 12 points says it all.
Stop talking crap. The year before was the greatest touhest Grand Final. And Leigh Matthews told the pies to play the ball. Essendon was already like that. Dooh
Nar... can't watch that. Once was too many times. 2018...Yair...watched that a dozen times and loved it on the day...will never forget it...better than most GF's GO BLUES GOAT: Bruce Douall
Watched this game on the tele, in Hippy Valley in Tasmania. For personal reasons 1990 was an awful year. I was hoping for an Essendon flag to cheer me up: nope. Bombers played like I felt.
This was surely the worst grand final of the modern era. There have been more one-sided games (1988, 2007 & 2019 to name just three), but at least in those you could admire the skill and obvious superiority of the winner. This game was just a snoozefest after quarter time. It was obvious from midway through the second term who would win, but the winning team went long stretches without even scoring. You can see in hindsight why this Collingwood team went nowhere after 1990.
Brilliant/. Thanks so much. I was there on the day, a great day. Will never forget it. Go Pies!
Who kicked 5 goals that day ....essendon lol lmao

Good old Collingwood forever
14:19 -- The Bombers player deliberately punched the opponent in the ribs out of frustration. Horrible tactics.
16:01 -- They aren't even trying to go for the ball... it's disgraceful. Shameful even.

Now three members of the Daicos family are Collingwood premiership players

Respect kevin sheedy, but he made some strange decisions which i think cost the bombers 2 or 3 flags

In other words Matthews out coach him

@sarcasmgod nice
I completely agree, what an explanation 👏
How much did the AFL pay Essendon to throw this match?
One pie
Thats all essendon are worth
Ess just shit shot to old pies to good thats it
@@stevesalkas533 nah the VFL was in serious trouble in 1989 and all of the sudden the moneymakers win the firsts AFL grand final? Unlikely

I think anyone who isn't a Collingwood supporter just pretends this grand final never happened.

nope.

It looked like a prison brawl between to gangs of inmates

I'm glad someone agrees with me, I thought this game was very boring and I'd never watch the full match, even this I nearly fell asleep.
Essendon shot themselves in the foot with that brawl, they were fairly even up until then.
