I think Ricky Olarenshaw may of been robbed of the Norm Smith Medal.

Jeez that singer is average

Good morning, someone could tell me the name of the song that they played at minute 5:40. I wanted to know the name of the genuine song, thank you very much

Cheates versus Drug Addicts!

Fullback of the century . Fletcher is unopposed but oh no we'll give it to mistake maker silvagni. What a bunch of 💩

Now you get five week for 'homophobia'

Just to think, Dermy, Plats, Dunstall, Langford were yet to come.

Collingwood losing GFs by a kick. Meat pies. Beer and the GF at the G ... love that part of Aussie life

SOS didn’t touch it

lol at the collingwood mascot being shoved away from Olivia Newton John by security. Hahaha

GOAT:Bruce Douall retired one season too early...not that it matters

Kerry O'Brien pretending to be live from the America's Cup at 50:00

Extremely rude of peter mckenna to speak during the national anthem. Mc Kenna would have been sacked if I was his boss

Tucky in a sleeveless gurnsey was def an extremely rare sight

Bob Skilton saying Brereton getting harsh treatment when he was holding Rhys - Jones . Great player Bob but open your eyes. The most biased call.

Great comeback by the umpires at the end of the 1st quarter.

Worst national anthem singer off all time

Maroochi and Meatloaf the ultimate duet

Get well soon Sandy Roberts. Legend!

Dons had 22 on the field , it would be an understatement to say the umpires were worded up, it's a real blurt on our great game , stood out like dog balls on a hairless cat! Carlton couldn't earn a free nor get paid a Mark for any reason. Don't barracks for neither team but gee the umpires rattled Carlton early and full credit to them for even putting up a fight, if I were coach I would of told the players to walk off. Sheedy taught them to play dirty , head hunt off the ball, and play for frees none stop. Baby bombers were a great team none the less , but the boys in white destroyed the moral, and really hurt them, all credit to the blues for holding it together.

Ablett was one of the dirtiest players of his time

I’ve been falling asleep to AFL games for the last few weeks and I’m slowly getting into it. Still trying to figure out the teams but by far slowly becoming one of my favorite sports.

Was this broadcast nationally on the 7 network ?

What's funny about this was all the usual talk of the Cats have handbags...Jefferey's was this talented, yet erratic defender who was best known for trying to take a screamer at every contest! Rhys-Jones had clearly picked his 'soft' target and 'whack!' He collects him beautifully.

You tube is great and thanks for this great AFL footage. The 90s were the best.

The anthem was an awful rendition

Love the pre & post game footage as well.

How many future afl coaches played in this game ?

💙

In the 1960's it was even dirtier than this

Sheedy gave birth to the modern game and this final was a tactical masterclass. I was a baby myself when I started barracking for the baby Bombers but man, what a final and what a brilliant team! Forgot what a dirty player Dipper was! Anyway this was proper footy, Lou Richards and all! Really enjoyed watching a game I am sure would’ve been on the telly at my old’s house, but that I was too young to remember.

I knew this wasn’t real as soon as I saw the sponsors. Who ever heard of Ansett or telecom.

The goal umpire tribute is a true wtf moment!

Carlton never stood a chance in this game. Baby bombers were on fire from the week before, when they came back from 42 pts down against Adelaide. What a team this group was , then add Lloyd, Lucas a few years later😍

Thanks for this, really appreciated 😊

I was 25 years old in 1984 and lived 10 minutes from Windy Hill. My best mate and I followed Essendon in the 70's, when the faces that appeared on the footy cards for the bombers were, Alan Noonan, Geoff Blenthyn, Daryl Gerlach, Robin Close, Ken "the racehorse" Fletcher (Capt) Neville Fields, whom we exchange for Terry and Neale Daniel, and our star centre half back, Barry Davis, who went to North (the dirty dog/traitor). Being pinned to the bottom of the ladder at the time, had its benefits as any win was like a grand final win. Solidarity ran across the board as everyone pitched in to save Footscray when they were struggling. Football was still our game, the working class. Local communities would gather each Saturday afternoon, and the old dears with their knitting would come for the reserves and warm up their vocal cords slagging off white maggots, ready for the firsts. In 1980 the baby bombers were hatched Kevin Sheedy was the mid-wife...he had them incubated somewhere. It was an exciting time. I remember in 1982 Essendon had lost the first seven games on the trot and were facing top of the table Collingwood at Waverly Park. I still vividly remember reading the team line up, and on paper at least, the bombers had a top side, so I took every bet I could on Essendon that week. My mate and I went to Waverly Park for the game. A record crowd of 77,000 saw the bombers cream Collingwood and go on to win 15 games straight (I won a tidy $100 even, not to be sneezed at in those days), only to drop the last game to Geelong, once again at Waverly Park, and with it went the double chance. The following week in the elimination final, Essendon fielded a team of the walking wounded. Simon Madden had a broken hand, for one, and Fitzroy disposed of us without to much trouble After the drubbing in the 1983 final , we felt sure that 84 was our year.......well up until quarter time of the 84 final. By the end of the day we didn't care if the world blew up, Essendon were premiers in the greatest comeback since Carlton Collingwood in 1970. I remember being at my Gran's in 1970 when half time scores were flashed across the TV in black and white, and Carlton was 44 points down. Everything was better back then. Corporate take over of football was opposed by football fans, and it has destroyed the game, cut the heart out of it. The introduction of more teams is solely a money making exercise, it has done nothing to improve the game. This is true of every facet of our lives, as the youth today have been shafted by an economic system in its death throes, and our inability to remove pyschopaths that refuse to relinquish power. The buck stops with "we the people". We need to take back control and above all, take back our humanity.

56:00 "this doesn't help the brand of football" - Lou Richars.

GO DONS!!!!!!!!!!

Who else misses these finals? 😊

This is great 👍🏽.

This takes a up the arse

Any chance of finding radio commentary of this game?

CIgarette advertising on the billboards, my god. Criminal.

Welcome To Viewers Throughout Australia And Around The World To The MCG For Seven Sport Exclusive Coverage Of The 2050 Australian National Bluey Kart League/National Hey Duggee Kart League Grand Final

my dad is the one that said he came all the way from qld, i’ve been looking for this video for ages so glad i finally found it

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.

remember when Essendon used to win finals

I’m surprised how much Essendon dominated the grand final when Carlton only beat them by 2 points in the qualifying final a couple of weeks earlier & had to come back from being behind against Adelaide in the preliminary final the week before

Awesome day that one! I was in the middle deck Northern Stand with my Dad. The row behind us was actor Ken James and an actor that appeared many times in Hommicide, Peter Anenson, always played a villain in Homicide (well known Hawk supporters). We expected a tight game not a record margin only surpassed in recent times by Geong.

1:50:26 the Exact moment the essendon supplements saga really started. The world needs to know this.
