Remember this like it was yesterday.

His name was Silly Salmon
First premiership under the banner of the AFL, since the league changed from being the VFL, to AFL that season.
go the might pies
im a Essendon fan this is great footage i'll give you that, anychance i can get a copy of this please ?
Yes, goof. But it only became a national competition in 1990, hence the reason they changed it from VICTORIAN Football League, to AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE, which means that the inaugural winner of the AFL Grand Final, was Collingwood.
I'd forgotten how dirty Essendon played that day. Not sure why, if they'd have played their own game they might have had a chance.
Funny how Collingwood still haven't won on the last Saturday in September since 1958, their last 2 flags won in October.
It's 6th October, not the 8th
google save vid ;)
NOOOOOOOOOO
We're talking Australian sports curses, right? Babe Ruth and a billy goat would dispute that if you meant it in terms of international jinxes.
It's all Peter schmich fault....if he kicked that goal its essendons premiership. 😣
it's the same bloody league!!!
The first AFL was the VFL before it was the AFL.
The first VFL Grand Final was 1898.
The first AFL Grand Final was 1990.
You knob.
There is just nothing you can say, that will make you correct.
You're just wrong.
Move on.
How is it funny?
They count as Premierships.
As an obviously Collingwood hater, how would you find that funny?
Do you realise that the Grand Final is no longer played in September, goof?
They won the first AFL Grand Final? d
@wikitum ha ha
Mighty Pies!!! I was pissed for three days after and wouldn't remove my Collingwood jumper till Wednesday. I think I was the only Collingwood supporter in Hawthorn.
