Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has the 3AW or ABC commentary of the 1990 AFL Grand Final.

The ABC commentary has been discussed on Nicks a few times and was wondering if anyone has a copy.

I am guessing it is most likely on cassette tape, but if we could get it online somehow that would be awesome!

There is this old thread where the ABC put a portion of the 2nd Quarter online but the link is now dead 1990 Last Qtr Revisited: http://www.magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.php?t=32336

I do indeed have the abc commentary of the 1990 grand final. it was sold at the abc shops on cassette in 1990. It is on 2 cassettes, but sadly the second cassette jams a bit. I tried to play it along side the channel 7 footage with the sound turned down but it"s not quite in sync, shows how technology has changed over the years.
Anyway please pm me if you are a computer magician as I think that all stuff from previous eras should go on line.
Sorry piedys, i didn't get back to you about Collingwood v Carlton 1988, but i'm pretty right at the moment, thanks anyway.
Speaking of which, does ANYone have a copy of 1958 grand final last quarter?

Yes i sure have. That U tube footage is the reason we must all strive to get this stuff from the past on line - unforgettable.

Oddly i have in my possession footage from the last quarter 1958 preliminary final, which came in a package "North - Fantastic Footy Flashbacks".

The Pies had already kicked 14 goals to 5 so North made a big comeback, featured in the footage.

the 1958 grand final, last quarter is available on tv replay "Fantastic Footy Flashbacks" somewhere, but nobody seems to have found it. I live in hope. but with all these premierships floating around - 1990, 2010 and the 1979 and 2011 night cups, it doesn't matter so much as it did in say, 1981.

I'm looking for the 1903 premiership replay. I'm hoping to get it HD if someone would be so kind as to upload it.

It would be easy to convert the cassette tape to mp3. I can help if anyone has the cassettes.

I've got a cassette from 1990 which has a song on one side to the tune of 'and the band played waltzing matilda' and about 45sec of 3AW highlights on the other.

Not sure if you are still looking for the 3AW call but guess what my dad gave me on the weekend. Two tapes of the 1990 GF 3AW.

I haven't got a tape recorder, (how funny considering I'm an old fart) however I remember the broadcast like it was yesterday because when I listened to it for the first time in 1990, I was living in London and I recieved the tapes on Xmas Eve. I had seen a replay about a month later but because the tape ran out, I never saw the Tony raising the cup and all the fantatic stuff that happens after the game. I tell you the 300 collingwood supporters, stuffed into a pub, looking up at a 12inch screen and the tape cuts out were not very happy. I can't even remember how I got home that night. Anyhow to cut a story short It was the best bloody Xmas I ever had, totally smashed, oblivious of the mayhem around me as I transposed myself for 2 hours back to australia. I even have a photo of the time, It was for many years the only evidence I had of how happy I was. Very sad I know, however it would repeat itself in 2010, when I was in Thailand!!!!!! Guess what we won that to. anyone want to pay for me to go overseas this year??

Awesome present.

Well if you ever find time (and a tape recorder... who has those anymore or blank tapes) upload a copy or send one through.

What parts stand out in the call? What does the fight at quarter time sound like?

I was at the game but heard the reply of the 3AW call with the great Rex Hunt. I can never forget his call that there is a fight on the half forward line and there are no players involved. Leigh Mathews, Police, Committeemen, and the lolly boy. That was quarter time when the great Neal Daniher punched out Gavin Brown. Neal went on to be a coach at Collingwood .
