I was 11 years old at the time, and as a South Australian I didn't know who to choose, Crows (family supported) or Carlton.We left just after 3/4 time ...awful
Pressure. Don't play too many talls. Often better to have smalls who are hard working rather than mercurialJust my opinion, but the Tigers only have 3 genuine A Graders. Martin, Rance and Cotchin.
They have about 8 solid B Graders and the rest of the side is made up of role players who played their roles this season magnificently.
This premiership is as much about coaching, buy in, camaraderie and sticking to a plan that EVERYONE from the Captain to the last rookie player on the list understood to perfection.
Added to this a couple of solid, hard bodied mids like Caddy and Prestia and bingo, anything was possible.
A win like this gives me hope because I see Bolton coaching/teaching exactly the same things.

grey seal the best tune on the whole damn thing..........I guess the cops won again.
Exactly.Well done tigers. I was cheering for Adelaide and I hate Richmond but I am not old enough to have seen them anything other than s**t. I hate Adelaide too.
Great coaching, great buy in from the players, great strategy and a great team effort (plus the best player in the game).
Malifice and Blue_Fusion look at some of the players that just won this grand final. In your opinion it is all about draft picks, despite the fact we already have the most first round picks. Have a look at some of the names who just won a grand final and tell me that culture and attitude isn't the most important:
Graham
Castagna
Townsend
McIntosh
Butler
Broad
Lambert
Nankervis
Grigg
Astbury
Grimes
Where would we need to draft these guys?
Loser mentality produces losers.
Richmond deserve all the plaudits. However, I do wonder how the game would have changed if even three of four pieces of second quarter play had been called (in my opinion) correctly.
1. Jack Riewoldt holding the Adelaide player, clear hold of the Crows guernsey. Ball spills forward, Richmond end up with a piss easy goal. (+1 Richmond)
2. The holding the man free kick that resulted in the next goal of the game to Richmond (+2 Richmond)
3. Eddie Betts clearly being scragged and held in the goal square. (+3 Richmond)
4. A couple of minutes later the same holding the man call that went against Adelaide resulting in a Richmond goal goes unpaid down the other end. (+4 Richmond)
Instead of a 9 point Richmond lead which saw Adelaide fall apart in the locker room at half time, allegedly, turns into a 2 goal Crows half time lead.
Umpires certainly played a huge role in determining momentum at the break.
PS; agree with the above but the Crows were v poor in the 2nd half !!
Kernahan would have kicked 10 that day if we got it down to him1993 was very hard to take. I still get upset just thinking about it.

FMD - who would have thought that the tuggers would tackle their way to a flag?
how pussy were Adelaide today....
I remember as a teenager the Collingwood drought seemed so big and guess it was because they were in so many losing grand finals but it really only dawned on me today, * 37 years is even longer but until today did not feel that way for Tigers as a big massive drought like the Pie one was because they rarely been close to contending since they lost to us 35 years ago. But as I saw Crows still on 5 goals it really started to sink in, this flag almost certainly Tigers now. I remembered Essendon were this s**t in 1990 to be the pathetic enabler to end a fun premiership drought to witness.Essendon will be remembered as the team that Collingwood beat to end their 32 year GF drought and now Adelaide will earn the same dubious honour of helping end richmond's 37 year drought.
What's this premiership thing feel like anywayThe joke being who kicked 5 goals in the 1990 GF? The answer being *.
