1990 GF - Statistically Revisited

[Lonie_from_50]

I am working on my own project to take off a load of somewhat, boredom, and be more constructive. With the DVD of the 1990 Grand Final, I have decided to work on Collingwood Player Statistics. It should be interesting.

I would also, however, like to see some discussion on the game, as in the time frame, I suppose. Wish me luck, I have done the first 10 mins already.

[jimmy_c8]

I have watched this DVD so many times it's not funny. I always remember in the first few minutes Kerrison starting off with a bang and the stats show that with him being equal top possesion getter for us.

Mike, Just a fix for you:
Right: Gayfer, Crosisca
Wrong: Gafer, Crocisca

Ten more minutes will be interesting. Essendon 2-2 vs Coll 0-5 (or thereabouts). We look gone at that stage!

cheers, wasn't me, was the keyboard ;)

[Lonie_from_50]

Gee, did Salmon just dominate in (so far) the first 20 minutes. He took 4 marks inside F50 and has kicked the Essendon score so far. Too tall, 206cm as a FF. Also Madden posing a threat in the ruck, with Manson getting beaten. Monkey on the woodwork.

Told you, that's one thing that sticks out in my memory. Salmon had already had Christian moved off him, and then he beat Kelly for his second goal, and we were thinking he was going to kick 5+. We were wondering where our goals would come from.

Also, look at the frees, nine already in twenty minutes! :eek:

[dids4]

ive got a question about kerro's point at the start - was it touched by monkey or was it a behind?

[Lonie_from_50]

Yeah, I know, like...gee, on video, it is impossible to tell. The ball is rolling through the goalsquare, and they view Daniher chasing it, yet...the umpire signalls it was touched. Therefore, did Monkey touch it - I dunno, it was 25m from the goal-line, pretty big call!

That 10 minute patch at the start of the 2nd quater set up the match for us with 5 quick goals and after edging away from the bombers we never looked back.

[Lonie_from_50]

What a half of footy. 6 goals to 1 great goal to Kickett. Shaw, Millane, Francis, Russell and McGuane have been the Pies best, all players there dominating play. Collingwood have been applying much more pressure, with 30 tackles, Francis the most dominant with 6. Monkhorst played ruck for the whole quarter and had 14 hitouts in the quarter.

[Lonie_from_50]

What a period, yet again. Starcevich gets cleaned up and can't take his kick after collapsing once again after a hit to the head. McGuane takes the kick from the 50m Penalty and goals. 2 minutes after Starcevich goes off the ground, Manson is replaced as soon as quick as he said hello to Daniher, and Gavin Brown got a huge reception making way onto the ground, after being concussed in the Quarter Time Brawl.

[magpies42]

it was a high posession game back then!

[Lonie_from_50]

I will be posting the Final Stats up, not just by ten mins :thumbsu:

[Lonie_from_50]

BigFooty went offline yesterday, so sorry for the delay of final stats. Will be up late tonight. At the moment I am at my sisters, so don't have the file here :)

[Lonie_from_50]

Sorry for the delay, here are the final stats...can't find the 4th Q score sheet, when i do, will post!

Full Time - 1990 Grand Final Collingwood v Essendon

http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/2751/19904gm.jpg

[spell_check]

it was a high posession game back then!

I have noticed that in a number of matches I have watched on tape whether it be SANFL or VFL/AFL that there were fewer (and shorter) stoppages and a more continuous play before say the mid-90s. The record I know of with the most possessions in a match by both teams is 789 - 396 to Essendon and 393 to Adelaide in Round 9 1993 and in the SANFL it is 786 by Port and West in Round 1 of that year.

P.S - these are newspaper stats.

[spell_check]

Looking at the tackle count, another thing I have noticed is that the tackles in that era more often produced a free kick or play on situation than now. i.e. less ball ups.

[Lonie_from_50]

Yeah, so true

[Hoggy]

What was the total amount of spoils by Paul Hamilton?

[Lonie_from_50]

Didn't do Essendon's stats Hoggy, but I could always check another day for you.

[Pie 4 Life]

Another quality thread from you Mike, well done :) :thumbsu:

[Lonie_from_50]

Cheers mate,

will be doing another one quite like this, Collingwood v Adelaide, 2002 PF

[Pie 4 Life]

Awesome. Particulary like the QF vs Port and Round 18 vs Carlton in that year as well :) :thumbsu:

[Lonie_from_50]

Dunno if i have our QF v Port, but pretty sure I have Bucks 200th game, pretty sure that was when we gave Carlton that thumping. I say pretty sure I have it, because I have a tape titled, Bucks 200th, Collingwood v Carlton, yet, may have been taped over, their is a 755 chance, and if it has been taped over, probably a 25% chance the Port game could be on there, LOL

[Johnson#26]

Lol you're lucky to have all the videos from 02/03, LF50. I had them, then was foolish enough to tape over them.

[Lonie_from_50]

Fox Footy was good over the summer, too bad I didn't tape any, should have!

[Johnson#26]

Yes - I got my uncle to tape a few of the matches.

Fox footy - upcoming Pies games next 7 days (http://www.magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.php?t=27111)

[Lonie_from_50]

Watched Coll v WB late last night, seeing Lokan kick a couple rippers, and Rawlings miss kicking a bag of 8, instead something like 3.7

Cheers for the list Luke :thumbsu:

[Johnson#26]

Ah yes. I've got most 2004 and 2005 matches on tape (unless I was at the game). Lokan kicked off 2004 in good fashion before tapering off.

[Lonie_from_50]

Sun Silk ruined his career :D, as did himself, when Lokan decided to sponsor the club as Crazy John

[Hoggy]

My preference, if you were going to do this such thing, would be game that were pre 1998 or something like that, before clangers and clearances were actually tallied by Champion Data.

Get the 1990 Series Finals Pack. :thumbsu:

[Lonie_from_50]

Would love to get the Finals Pack, may have to invest in it :thumbsu:

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of pre-98, but the games are limited in my library, if any. I want to order N-A-G, but not only expensive, it is credit card payments, and I can't do that, Parents won't let me, not getting my own just yet.

[Johnson#26]

I used to have plenty of 1997 matches....round 9 vs Sydney, round 11 vs WCE, round 13 vs Brisbane, round 21 vs Adelaide. I wish now that I'd never taped over them! :(

[Cyclops]

That stat of 59 tackles says it all. The kick/handball ratio is good, and the sheer number of goals from frees and 50s indicates what a harsh game it was then.

[Madd Matt]

I have almost every game Collingwood has won since about 1989. Of course, they aren't full replays, because until Foxtel came along with full match coverage, we just had the 90 minute 6pm-7:30pm Saturday Night Reply on Seven, so there are years of just 'highlights' of wins, but then I think the last four or so years we've got most wins. All taped straight from TV or Foxtel.

Not sure what to do with them all, though. Especially since pre-1990 is on Beta! :eek:

[Lonie_from_50]

Pretty handy collection there Matt, good to hand down to the kids/grand-kids

Round 1 1989, 10 point victory over the reigning champions (Hawthorn) at Waverley...you got that? If you do, any way you could make a torrent of it?

Yeah the Beta thing never really took off did it? ;) I'm sure there is some way to convert it over though nowadays.

I'll make a list of full games of the Pies that I have on tape, back in a few.

Well worth it, AFL Video are getting rid of their VHS stock, get it for pretty cheap.

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of pre-98, but the games are limited in my library, if any. I want to order N-A-G, but not only expensive, it is credit card payments, and I can't do that, Parents won't let me, not getting my own just yet.

Go to the showroom, off Lorimer St in Port Melbourne, the official address would be on the website. You said you're going to uni at Footscray Park, it would be a 10 minute bus trip there in a lunch break I reckon.

Of course being a former employee and getting discounts helps. :cool:

[Hoggy]

How cheap, Hoggy?

From $35 down to $20.

They are probably cheaper now if you get them on VHS though.

[Johnson#26]

Not bad. I may have to invest in a few.

I like your collection - some good matches there. The match at Waverley in rnd 16 '98 was great.

So you can just go into the store and purchase a match from, say, 1997?

[Lonie_from_50]

Lol, that's what i tried to order - Rnd 16 at Waverley, considering talking up all those memories in the trivia thread.

Hoggy, thanks very much for all the info, and I would love to go there as soon as I get some cash to spend on footy tapes. A fair difference in price between VHS and DVD, so therefore, probably best to go VHS. Will have to stock up on spare VHS's to tape matches during the season. We have a DVD recorder, but it is a hassle that it fuks up reception on normal tv, and the amount of cords out of the back is huge, and also, i have no idea how to work the thing. Would rather on VHS, considering burnt DVD's have inconsistent life spans.

Very big collection Luke. I am no-where near that on video's...i had plenty years ago, but as we know, they get lost, taped over, etc. My main thing of a collection is Herald Sun Sport (Monday's are the key)...have plenty, one day i will count them :p

[Hoggy]

I could take a photo of my Herald-Sun sports sections but it is too embarassing...let's just say, Sat, Sun, Mon since 1996. :o

(Those prices were from a while ago though, not sure about now)

[Lonie_from_50]

That's awesome Hoggy :p

I started collecting them in 97, but really started to collect in 99, whereas, I have most since then. It is a good resource I guess, but that day will come when it will be chuck out time, I am sure, just hope it never comes :p

[Johnson#26]

I know what you mean! I have stupidly taped over plenty of things (plenty from 1997). And then some in 2002 and 2003! I hate it when I can't find things on videos and then I realise I was stupid.....

I love the papers. I began collecting in 1997, but have lost plenty of them. I used to cut out every Collingwood picture, good or bad, and place them on my wall. I still have a few from that era, but most are now in my scrapbook.

I currently have a massive box in my cupboard (huge) of newspapers from 1997-2006.

[Hoggy]

I forgot to say I had every one from 1991 onwards (I still have crucial 1990GF news clippings and liftouts) but Mum threw out five years worth of liftouts. :(

[Cyclops]

Round 1 1989, 10 point victory over the reigning champions (Hawthorn) at Waverley...you got that?

Funny thing, I have a vague memory of that game being on tape at my mum's place. Great game, I was there behind the goals Hawthorn was kicking too in the final quarter. On the tape Mckenna is having paroxysms, because he loves both clubs. "Its pick-out-Michael-Christian Day!" he cries when Chrisso took a bunch of marks in front of Dunstall.

If you do, any way you could make a torrent of it?

No idea how to do that.

[Johnson#26]

Ouch! That's got to hurt!

[Johnson#26]

BTW, what's a 'torrent'?

[Us3]

BTW, what's a 'torrent'?
luke,
a torrent is a different way of pirat....errr 'transfering' files.

you go to a website and download a mini file, normally less than a hundred kb.

you use that file in a file sharing program like limewire or kceasy and it specifically targets places the files are stored.

thats my understanding of it, if someone can explain it better feel free.

BitTorrent is a content distribution protocol that enables efficient software distribution and peer-to-peer sharing of very large files, such as entire movies and TV shows, by enabling users to serve as network redistribution points. Rather than having to send a download to each customer requesting it, the distributor or holder of content sends it to one customer who in turn sends it to other customers who together share the pieces of the download back and forth until everyone has the complete download. This makes it possible for the original server to serve many requests for large files without requiring immense amounts of bandwidth. According to reports, a user may expect to see a full-length movie arrive within a few hours.

For an example of a site which has all these type of things...

Hoggy and co.

I bought the 1990 Premiers Pack on VHS (Only on VHS) at the Lexus Centre yesterday. So we can expect the stats up on both the Qualifying Replay and Semi Final wins :thumbsu:

Watched the Second Semi against the Bombers the other week, it was little wonder that Terry Daniher (the dog) king hit Rowdy in the Grand Final the following week.

He was unbelievable in this match, had 10 marks and had banged home five majors in the first half. He was running rings around the Essendon backline. Walsh, Hamilton, Daniher were no match for one G. Brown. He virtually beat the bombers by himself that day (with solid contrubtutions from Dennis Banks, Doug Barwick and Scotty Russell).

I wonder if Greg Anderson the girl still has nightmares about Darren Millane, was sh*t scared of him!

Get the 1990 Series Finals Pack. :thumbsu:Just looked it up on the Name A Game website. Am I correct in saying that it's VHS only? :( :thumbsd:

[Lonie_from_50]

Yes, correct, considering that was all they had at the Lexus Centre. I would be guessing that if it was on DVD, it may be a little more expensive, but still VHS is better than none I guess.

I am starting to do the stats (Collingwood Only) for the Collingwood v Essendon Semi-Final, including Spoils, 1%ers (excluding spoils), Contested Marks, and my own Ranking System. I will also review the 1990 Grand Final and add the extra statistics.

I guess I will just chuck it in this thread, stupid starting another one I guess...I will identify it as a Semi Final though.

Oh well, I'm sure they'll release it sooner or later...

Out of curiosity, how much was the video version you got from The Lexus Centre?

[Lonie_from_50]

RRP $59.95

Wouldn't think you could get it cheaper. I was looking at an Inside Football edition from 1997 last night, and on the back page it had the box sets of VHS's, and were $59.95 back then aswell.

As Hoggy said earlier, at Name-A-Game they are working on getting rid of VHS Stock, so maybe one day everything will be DVD, and it will be released, and then again, $60 is as cheap as you can buy it.

I got the triple pack from AFL Video for $39 two years ago, no jokes.

Collingwood started with a bang against Minor Premiers Essendon at the MCG. Skipper Tony Shaw almost kicked a ripper in the early seconds, just for the ball to bounce the other way. Peter Daicos kicked the first goal of the game from a free-kick against Greg Anderson, which to me was very harsh. Daicos slotted a goal, and soon after Gavin Brown kicked the 'Pies second. A free against Gayfer for a push in the back to Derek Kickett set up a chance for goal, and it just sailed through, with the 'Pies in the lead by 8 points. So far Dennis Banks has been the standout, providing good skills and working up the field.
