0:32 - A Collingwood supporter holding a "West Coast Wankers" sign! I used to see this footage every weekend on Channel 7 and never noticed it til now!
@AndysF1 I remember these stickers being produced and issued in Melbourne in the week leading up to the 1992 Grand Final between Geelong and the Eagles. Sam Newman showed one of the stickers live on Melbourne TV during the football tips segment prior to the game when he was asked who would win the GF. Cheap shots at the Eagles were OK then, encouraged in fact in Melbourne, then the Eagles won the premiership twice in 3 years.
the days when players didnt get suspended and fined for breathing on an umpire, contested marks and tackles were common, and brownlow votes were given to the best 3 players on ground!
@Giumelz Contested marks and tackles were common? Contested marks are at the highest they have been for years! Teams are getting 100+ tackle counts in a game now! Unheard of back in the 80's and 90's.
@lachlan407 hmmm, I watched a game from the 90's and it seemed to me that players would kick to a contest more often than in todays game, anyway the brand of football played in the 90s was great to watch :)
wow football has gotten so fucking shit, these where the days, i wish i had of been alive to see football throughout the 80's, from being one of the most fanatical supporters anywhere, i just dont care anymore, hate the game style, so shit
Damn it, if only the AFL still used grounds like Princes Park, Whitten Oval, Moorabbin, Vic Park, Windy Hill, Waverley, Arden St (yes, that wasn't used after the 80's but hey I'm biased :P)
Would give anything to go back to the glory days of suburban AFL...
Gee, it doesn't matter what walk of life footy supporters come from because once you have gone through the turnstiles we are (well most of us) all the same..... Oh @ 01:26 that guy looked like he had one of those annoying Vuvuzela's :-)
footy was great back then because it was full of wogs: alessio, misiti, rocca, daicos, crossisca, mercuri, koutifidies, ricardi, christou, silvagni, modra, jackovich, matera, sumich, camporeale, liberatore, dimatina and the list goes on.. mixed with the likes of ablett, lockett, dunstall, bradley, hird, bucks.. what do you expect? now footy is just full of panzies and the wogs like deledio and priddis are nothing like their predecessors.
Another good thing about it is that just about every team was competitive. Barring Freo and Port Adelaide, I'm pretty sure every side made the prelim at least
Port and freo didnt make it cause port only came in in 97 and freo 95. Btw i don't think richmond made a prelim. Lol freo has only made one prelim to this day..so shit.
God, I used to hate this song, now I'm massively pining for the glory days of 1994 and I was totally wrong! I miss the days of Woosha flattening everything that moved and Peter Matera and even Waverley Park!
The 90s was all about the personalities, eh. Dunstall, Lockett, Ablett, Kernahan, Carey, Hawkins, Bradley, Jarman, Long. They were all institutions of their clubs (in Jarman's case two), and added so much to the colour of footy. We just don't get those kind of characters in this fitness-first brand of footy. Oh well, at least the Hawks are reigning again! :D
In our case we had Jakovich, Woosha, Mainy, Matera, Turley, Langdon, Lewis, the REAL Mick Malthouse...strong personalities representing our club week in week out who hated losing and gave everything for the club. We don't have strong characters like that now, it's been bred out of the game, individuality and swagger. Our captain now is Darren Glass! Enough said!
yeah i totally agree. football used to be alot better back in the day and alot more traditional its like people dont get into as much as they used to. im from w.a. and normally the derby over here is a real competetive feeling but i dont get that anymore.
Completely agreed. I have just watched this and remembered the game i used to love. When as a teenager i could rock up to the MCG at 10am and get a seat at the front and watch the Collingwood reserves lose just before seeing the seniors lose as well. These days if you dont pay $800 for a membership you are treated like a nobody. Also take into account that the game has gone backwards with the constant rule changes and the over umpiring we see every week. Btw great song and clip.
Good post. While it's unreasonable to expect and hope for nothing to change, some things have been excessive.
Around the time of this video we all believed we followed the best game on the planet. The question I ask is why would you change something that is the best?
We can thank the whinging players for the rule changes. Everybody pays out on the umps, but if players could just deal with the fact that some rules have their downsides as well as upsides, we would never need these rule changes. Oh how I miss the days of colourful footy: big fellas like Plugger, old blokes like McDermott (seen in this clip), mysterious characters like Winmar, little thugs who couldn't kick like Tony Shaw.
Thanks for posting this Mitch, and Carn the Hawks!!
football use to much better a decade ago. U can just see how much more the crowd would influence the game, i mean you could just walk onto the ground straight after the game and give the players a pat on the back now u see players get escorted off the ground surrounded by security guards when they kick a ton. Shame on you andrew demetriou. Bring back the 1990's and Wayne Jackson One more thing when was the last time you saw the cheer squad behind the goals throwing streamers onto the ground?????
Hawks played really well while Geelong kicked themselves out of the game. Hawthorn were the better team on the day. Geelong were clearly the better team of the year.
Good luck to you and your team for 2009, may it be a successful one! Cheers
Wouldn't it be great to make a copy from the 2000s - for example, ending with Moorcroft's mark instead of Ablett's, and all the highlight's of the 2000s.
Fantastic video, absolutely loved the 1990s. Best footy by far.
Is the kid posing with Gazza at 0:08 Gary Jr or Nathan? This video does have Jobe Watson in it, and Brayden (?) Shaw, Tony Shaw Jr who was on the Pies list and didn't play a game after all!
I think the kid's just a fan, seems to be female :) On the topic though, it is great to see Jobe Watson out playing for his old man's team. And Travis Tuck starting to cement his place at the Hawks, Cyril too. Footy families are wonderful things aren't there?
its called emotion in an emotional game. l think every team has emotional players that play with heart. something that you lack- you must barrack for a shit team that never makes it to a gf.... rfc l take it!
so glad i lived through the 90's. It really was a great decade of football. The game today has changed so much, its unbelievable. I prefer the old days, but I still love my footy. Also this is the best footy song by a country mile. Cheers
this just makes me wish i was an adult back then, so i could go to one of the suburban grounds to watch real footy, none of this basketball non contact shit.
I remember this on TV ad back in the '90s. This is a good mixed clip. Also I used to like that girl on 00:34 with Geelong paint on her face. Great memories & thanks for posting this on!
Yes it was first played towards the end of the 1994 season, and for the entire 1995 season. In 1996 Channel 7 recorded a "instrumental" version of the song. I agree that the song should be brought back, but not played to death.
this should seriously be channel 7s theme this year!!! just seeing this would make up for last years coverage lol honestly there should be a petition to get this back on the air lol
Footy didn't seem so Americanized back than. Too much flooding, time wasting and sleeve tatts these days.

It was in 1994 when this song came out. Because I still have Greg Champion's CD album in that year!

This is the best football song, along with Holy Grail.

Holy Grail is good if played sparingly...but Ten played it to death for 6 years and its just a sissy song to me now.

How is Holy Grail a football song? Apart from Channel 10 ruining it for five years?
