Essendon in 90 and Collingwood in 84 except when Essendon did it they handed the Pies the flag. The only team in 42 years to do it.
Who kicked 5 goals in the 90 GF and who did it in the 84PF?
Yeah right, like the Woods didnt give the Dons the biggest ego boost of all time in the 84pf. I actually was hoping that day the Pies would do the right thing by the Hawks and at least provide a contest, not a traiing run as it turned out to be!

Walshy, you just proved what a big idiot you are.
Simple artithmetic 2000 - 1958 = 42 years.
Of course, maths was never a Bomber strongpoint.

sorry big magpie i looked at it the other way
1958-1990 = 32 years
simple arithmetic
but you can take 42 years, either way its a terrible record,
all i can say is im glad i dont have to go that far back to remember, its only a few short weeks for me

You Collingwood idiots are unbelievable. Still glorifying a flag you won 10 years ago, whilst your've done nothing since. It's so sad that scumingwood fans still use 1990 to fall back on....I mean we've won 2 flags since, one just the other week.
What, made the finals once since 90', bloody disgraceful if you ask me, even worse than Richmond.
We've made it 7 times since, so bite on that you cretin.

Robbo... bad luck buddy... your team was the one that must take all the criticism from other supporters... as ESSENDON IS THE ONLY TEAM TO BE BEATEN BY COLLINGWOOD IN A GRAND FINAL.... it will take a long time to live it down...

Yeah and thank the Roos for giving the Crows Back to Backs. Be careful Rooy you've employed one of the '90 crew, as an assistant coach, remember
.
Oh and what did Collingwoodenspoon kick in '90, 9 goals wasn't it? What a powerhouse display, he he he
. Hard to remember back that far though.
Cheers.

Robbo get your facts right. Collingwood have made the finals twice since 1990. In 1992 and 1994.
Also, we kicked 13 not 9 goals in the GF folliwng on from the 2Sf when we kicked 17 15 117 to 7 12 54. And the Bombers were goaless in each last quarter as were WCE in the QFR.
I m anot glorifying the GF. Just recalling it on its anniversary a few days ago. But as Rooboy said, you are the only team that let us in. Carlton certainly never have. We would have enjoyed beating them more.

I repeat, WHAT A POWERHOUSE DISPLAY
. 13 goals was it, in perfect conditions too ha ha ha. There was I at the GF this year (there still held at the MCG by the way, it's been a while for you guys, in case you wern't aware) annoyed we only finished with 19 goals, through bad kicking. Different teams have different expectations I guess
.
Now that's arrogance, but with good reason, we just had THE best season ever, unlike your rabble in 1990. Sorry Rooboy but they've got me goin', and their easy pickings he he he.
Cheers.

Yeah, Collingwoods Grand Final team of 1990, was probably the weakest premiership team of the 1990's. Arguable, or course.
Still, Pie fans don't care. They were just happy to win.
Rooboy,
It might be tough to lose a Grand Final, but it is better to lose it than to not make it at all. runner-up is better than 3rd. 3rd is better than 4th etc.
North finished 6th that year I think (in 1990), but you don't hear me making fun of them do you ?
I'll happily put up with heartbreak every second year if it means we are going to be IN the GF every year. The price you pay for being a successful club are the inevitable close misses.
Good clubs always have periods where they lose Grand Finals. North became competitive again in 1993, and the price they paid was a Grand Final loss in 1998.
There is nothing wrong with losing a Grand Final. Collingwood should know beter than anyone, seeing as they have lost 23.

Collingwood 1990 the worst premiership team?
What about Essendon 1993. They werent anything to write home sabout and Sheedy has admitted it.
Hawthorn 1978, Adelaide 1997, West Coast 1992, Richmond 1969. They would be the worst.
And Dan24, what about Fitzroy 1916?
Collingwood and Essendon were head and shoulders above other teams that year. Do you remember the round 19 clash at Waverley which was televised live? It was billled as the GF preview. why do you think that was?
So I refute your claims. You are all hiding behind of smokescreen of bourgouise cliches.

Matthews,Knights,Tuck,Moore,Scott,Wallace,
Dipper, Eade all played in at least three winning Grand Finals. Add to that names the calibre of Ablett, Hendrie, Martello, Moncrieff, Russo, Goss and McCarthy. Richard Walter was a victim of a knee before he could show what he could have devloped into. Paton, Polkninghorne,Murnane and De Wolde were all handy contributors to the Hawks as well.
One thing id back, they would take the Woods of 90 any time they wanted to

I meant that Collingwood were the worst premiership team of the 1990's. Yes, Collingwood and Essendon were MILES ahead of any other team, but it was an even year. There was no real standout, but definately, the Dons and Pies were a class above in 1990.
That round 19 clash at Waverley was huge. We won of course.
Essenon in 1993 were nothing to write home about, true. But at least we finished on top of the ladder, something Collingwood was unable to achieve in 1990.
Ironically, Collingwood supplied better team in in the 1960's and 70's without winning a Grand Final. Then they win it in 1990 with a bunch of over-achievers.

The Hawk team of 78 were average. They only came "good" relatively speaking, in the last 4 weeks of the year. North and then COllingwood were stronger favourites for the flag as was Carlton as a reult of the ri winning run after Jezza took over mid-season.
We are not talking about the Hawk side of the 80s. We are talking the way the Hawks played in 1978.

Big Magpie, the fact is the Hawks won 78. I can make arguments that we would have killed you in 90 (remember the waverly game four weeks before the finals?) but that isnt the point.
How can you call any team with a core group of players that all played in at least three premierships as amongst the worst to have won a flag? The Maggies of 90 were the worst premiers ive seen 'player to champion ratio' but they are still a premiership combination and thats all that counts. Enjoy it and dont worry about what anyone else thinks.
ps but i will still give you arguments if you questions the Hawks!!

Grendel, I am not knocking Hawthorn for winning the flag in 1978.
But I rememeber the season. They were not a stand out team. In that year they were an ordinary team. So were all the teams. I am sure the Hawthorn 1990 combination would have beaten the 78 combination too. I think the Hawthorn 74 combination owuld have beaten the Hawk 78 side. The 74 hawk side defeated Richmond twice in 74 and the Tigers were glad North and not Hawthorn won the Prelim. But the Tigers were still a very strong side.
If Collingwood 1990 was ordinary in winning 19 games with 9 in a row in 1990, then I was pointing out the similarities to the Hawks in 1978 who did not do as good and Essendon in 1993 which Sheedy has admitted did not deserve to win the flag.
You are right. The answer in the end is they won it. End of argument. Enjoy it and everyone else stick it up your fat clackers!

Sheedy did NOT say that Essendons 1993 team didn't deserve it. He didn't say that at all.
He said they were lucky. We were the best team of the year, but because the competition was so even that year, luck played a factor. But we were still the best team of the year regardless.
Of course we deserved it. We dominated the season. We won everything. We won the Ansett Cup. We finished on top of the ladder (which I believe is the true test of how good you are, since it tests your winning ability over 22 weeks), we suppiled the Brownlow medallist, and then we won the Grand Final against the team that was second on the ladder.
Now if the team that finished on top, and won the Ansett Cup didn't deserve to win the Grand Final, then tell me......who did ?
