It was the decade that changed the face of football as we knew it. There would be three new teams: the Adelaide Crows, Fremantle and Port Adelaide. We farewelled Fitzroy and watched others like Footscray, Richmond, Melbourne and Hawthorn battle for their existence. For the first time non-Victorian clubs would take premiership honours. West Coast won twice and Adelaide won back-to-back flags against the odds. It was a decade in which the feats of goalkicking maestros Jason Dunstall and Gary Ablett were overshadowed by the record breaker Tony Lockett.
Uploaded in full for the first time on UA-cam.
Best era of AFL! Players had character, passion and could fucking kick goals.
@MUFC Nice. Want props?
Soccer was never good mate
God I miss the 90's. Best decade of football ever. Ablett, Carey , Hird, Lockett, Harvery, Winmar, Dunstall, Matera, just to name a few. Names that will live on through the eons of time.
the 2000's are shit because interstate teams win premierships 6 times from 2001 until 2006 including the last 3 grand finals 2004-05-06 because it was triple non victorian grand finals.
Lol what garbage reasoning Paul
Dale Hardiman Richardson? Or is he more 2000’s
Shadow Blaster yep 👍 well said agree 100 percent mate. They were great days.
@@padzsc Yeh for sure. Great player.
Really wish they’d do the 2000s and 2010s in this exact format
Collingwood Toyota AFL Premiers 2010 Yeah I agree they should too this was great watching this clip of the decade of the 90s they had the best of 2000-09 on channel7 broadcast here on you tube and hopefully they can do one similar from 2010-19 on both channel 7 and fox footy I would love to see that there have been that many great headlines and moments of the last decade since 2010.

Unfortunately as one guy has mentioned' this was done as a highlights package, not year by year format as previously done over the past decades
There is a new one on the 2010s in the same format: afl2010s.sportinghq.com.au/

The last great decade of football and, in my opinion, the best and most exciting the game ever was and ever will be. The best players. The best games. It had it all. Footy today is a mere shadow of what it once was. The 90’s footy was incredible.
doesn't hurt that you were in your teens when it happened
@@richard_nj considering I watch 90’s footy pretty regularly here on UA-cam to show my kids then no, it’s not nostalgia or anything like that. Footy WAS indeed far better during the 90’s both as a spectacle and as a sport. It wasn’t kicking backwards all the time. It wasn’t rugby scrums everywhere. It wasn’t all players following the ball instead of standing in their designated positions on the field. Game was also officiated far better as well. Rules change today to try speed up the game yet we have goal line decisions that can stop a game for up to a couple of minutes and we can’t even get conclusive proof with goal line technology! Footy was great in the 80’s and at its peak in the 90’s. Since then it’s been on a downward spiral.
@@MacReady1980 Obviously nostalgia plays a part. It literally can't not. When we get exposed to and learn to love something like footy during our childhood, when we're impressionable and excitable, then we're always gonna look more favorably on that particular era of it. Whether we're just remembering those times or actively rewatching them, our experience of them is permanently skewed, we can't help it. I'm not saying footy in the 90's wasn't great or that your opinion is invalid, just that there isn't a right answer to the question of when the sport was at its peak. There's no such thing as a universally objective truth in a matter such as this. And your take on it has as much to do with when you happened to be born as it does with anything else.
@@richard_nj I was born in 1980. I don’t have as much memories of 90’s footy compared to 2000’s footy. 90’s footy is still the best era of footy. I watch plenty of old games. 90’s was when footy was at its peak. You can like what you want but footy was at its peak in the 1990’s. Go back and watch some 90’s games and see the difference.
@@MacReady1980 I know you were born in 1980, and I wasn't talking about what decade you watched the most footy or remember the most from. It's the fact that 90s footy would've impacted you at a very formative stage in your life. I've watched games from the 90s, they're not objectively the best, because again, there's no such thing. Some people that are older than you would advocate for earlier decades with the same conviction that you have for the 90s, and some people that are younger than you would do the same for later decades. The deciding factor isn't the footy, it's when we were born. Again, it's not that you are wrong, it's that no one can be right.
This hightlight video is insanely good. Such throwbacks
The best decade of footy for me.
I lived in Australia in the 90's and I can remember a lot of these guys.
Thanks for this....I’m a new fan from the states and I’m trying to just take in all the history of this sport as I can it does look like the 90s were in fact amazing
Attacking Football died round 16 2000
@@eijiniizuma6184 round 21 mate
@Jayden LOADER Round 21 of 2000 was the round between Essendon v. Western Bulldogs when senior coach Terry Wallace pulled out the 'super flood' against the Dons and held them to 81 points, their lowest scoring output of their magical '00 premiership.
@@BoganFromBama it's a shame where it led, because was one of the best and most exciting games ever
Lockett - 34 goals in 3 games! Unbelievable.
Lyon would have Lockett playing full back. That's progress.
Teams can't even kick that Now 🤦♂️
And 16 straight in 1 game, 26 straight over 3 games.
Thats what makes him better than Dunstall
@@Magpie_Mark92dunstall gave away goals
RIP Fitzroy
peri gnampua it’s a shame the AFL let them die especially when you consider how crap the Gold Coast Suns are now
@@rendlebury1520 die? They are literally half of the brisbane lions but whatever
Yoshimitsu 420 half yeah only 8 players signed
Mr AFL, miss him, lots
miss him much
100 goals in 15 matches....jesus h....what a champ plugger was...
He destroyed defenders breathtakingly and sublimely. 191cm 112kg and 22 times he kicked 10 snags in a game.
If my calculations are correct that's like 23 goals per game
@@nklin6 not to sure what math you’re doing there mate but it’s around 6 and a half goals a game
@@smitityg9758 life must be full of surprises for you
This is an amazing documentary
The days of a forward to kick 100 goals a season is over
it was sad since the 2000s
now a forward can't kick 30 goals in a season
These days their playing patterns are geared towards hugging the boundary line for safety & defense.
Not allowed to create scoring opportunities because it's too "risky".
Pathetic really.
@@AlonsoRules true
@MUFC Soccer is for ladies, and "men" who fake injuries. Australian football is a man's game. You have no place here and wouldn't survive 5 minutes on a footy field.
I got this on dvd
1:14:42 - Greg Williams '86 & Gerard Healy '89 also won Brownlows for Sydney.
They also played for Geelong and Melbourne in the 80s
The best decade of footy, look at the some of those names, Carey, Lockett, Ablett, Dunstall, Modra, Mcleod, Winmar, Hird, Daicos, Harvey, Williams, Matera, the list goes on and on, still can’t believe the saints lost in 97
I am American and a new fan of AFL. I wish we had more than just the GF on TV in the 90s.
The 1990s was the decade of the forwards. Tony Lockett, Jason Dunstall, Gary Ablett Snr., Wayne Carey, Stephen Kernahan, Peter Sumich, John Longmire, Saverio Rocca, and Tony Modra.
Amazing decade of foockin footy
Thanks for posting!
I wish they bought state of origin back in this fashion.
2:18:48 is probably the best 7 Sport closer ever.
To think Gavin wanganeen’s son just played his first game for Essendon. I feel old
Robert Harvey 1998: 32 votes in 14 games!
and bangers 200th game was the game that sealed the deal
Not that good I mean that’s like 2.4 votes a game on average
@@alfietruman6867 Not sure where Mark Sesuraj gets his information from ; in 1998 Robert Harvey played in all 22 Home And Away games , plus both of St Kilda's Finals games ! ! WWW.AFLTABLES.COM
@@alfietruman6867 And in 1997 , Robert Harvey played in all 22 of St Kilda's Home And Away games , plus all 3 of their Finals games ! ( Robert Harvey won Brownlow Medals in both 1997 and 1998 ) . WWW.AFLTABLES.COM
Code breaker Maybe he polled votes in that number of games but idk
The fact Michael Tuck played his final game having beaten both Turley and Mainwaring was a shock to me. He had at least two more years left in him and certainly would've helped a changing club.
Football was way better then than now. Back when footballers played not just athletes.
Wow. Hit the nail on the head. Perhaps fitness levels have increased, but skill? Not so sure.
@@Sbock86 the flood has killed football
@@eijiniizuma6184 yeah, unfortunately.
Lockett, Ablett, and Dunstall were the great goalkickers, Robert Harvey was super consistent, but all bias aside Wayne Carey was THE player of the 90s.
Andrew Clements well who was then
So VFL 😂
RIP Darren Millane, EJ Whitten, Trevor Barker, Paul Couch, Alan McAlister
Collingwood Toyota AFL Premiers 2010 And Spud Frawley
@@rendlebury1520 Spud didn't die in the 90's.
Robert Batchelor nor did Paul Couch and Alan McAlister was just saying Rip to the lads we lost in this video is all
Robert Harvey and Shane Crawford changed the way midfielders run forever
The greatest decade in footy, forevermore
An era of so many greats of the game. Some we loved to hate,some you’d have to lock ya wife’s up from, then some you’d watch in ore.
absolutely legendary decade of football. makes the modern era look so plastic and manufactured.
Best decade of football, great players, Waverly park still up and running, lockett, dunstall, ablett, Carey, Harvey, Buckley, Voss, hird and so many more. The great teams of west coast and north, drought breaking pies flag in 90, through to north in 99, the crows winning back to back in 97/98 even though they finished 4th in 97 and 5th in 98 from memory. West coast making the finals every year of the decade, north making the last 6 prelims of the decade for 2 flags, football was so much better, coaches were happy to have players go at it one on one, the game was far more entertaining, i would gladly watch any random game from any year in the 90's, now i force myself to watch my team each week to be loyal, other games i couldn't care less, I'm glad the afl has made some rule changes to make the game go back a bit, the hands in the back rule was crap, and I'm interested to see how the 6-6-6 starting positions open up the game at all, the only thing I like about afl these last few years is how even the league seems to be, anyone of 6-7 teams can win the flag realistically and another 5-6 teams have a much bigger chance then they would even just 5 years ago, I'm a pies fan, but I would love to see Melbourne and stkilda win a flag, outside of 2010 the doggies winning in 2016 was the greatest premiership I've ever seen in my opinion, no one predicted that, no one..lets hope the flow of the game starts to go back to the footy we all grew up and crave so much
I see that you didn’t want to mention the 2018 Grand Final
only the Saints to go, you were right on every front
1:14:42: Greg Williams 1986 & Gerard Healy 1988 won them for Sydney before this.
1:38:53 Damn Bruce went full savage there
Yeah wtf? So cold..
Woosh shaking his hands at Mcguan "couldnt take the mark" 😂
The Macarena decade
Best player Garry Ablett
Craig Willis was awesome. Definitely missed in sports announcing. Now we are left with BT and these channel 7/SEN hacks
I'm a Kouta fan also Modra
"If you win three, it's a miracle. You can't be pulling the strings to win three in this comp."
*[laughs in Brisbane 2001-2003]*
go pies
My team (Hawthorn) only won one premiership in the 90s (1991 Hawthorn def. West Coast)
And?
29:45 how the fuck dose a man of that size move like that, its like watching a bumble bee fly
Special
Its a funny coincidence that for AFL the 90s was the decade that delivered and for the NRL it was the decade of self destruction and War .Both games were on a equal footing at the start of the decade by the end of it the AFL was the clear front runner in the battle of the codes.The Australian sporting landscape would be alot different if things went differently .The Super league War nearly destroyed Rugby League ,there teams in Adelaide ,Perth were casualties of war and alot of disgruntled League fans turned to the Swans and Lions .Without the war Rugby League wouldve been in the position the AFL finds itself and the Swans and Lions would of most likely folded and there would be no Giants and Suns for sure and the Western Reds and Adelaide Rams would be like the Swans and Lions .Rugby League is only now really getting over the war and is gaining ground again in the battle of the codes The AFL isn't as secure at the top as the last 30 years have made it seems it hasn't always been so easy .
There is a new one on the 2010s in the same format: afl2010s.sportinghq.com.au/
Half the video is about how many goals the usual suspects in Ablett, Lockett and Dunstall kicked in a match, plus Modra, Sumich, Daicos, Carey, Longmire, Rocca etc...for this decade, it would be how many handballs in a match
The Decade Of The Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series And The Spice Girls!
were the goal posts relly short back then or did they just have a booming leg?
Luke Swann they were shorter, yeah. I think it was around the mid-2000s when taller posts became uniform across the board (by that stage all the suburban grounds had been wiped out). It made for less contentious decisions when a ball looked like it might have travelled over the post.
@@extraverse Awesome thanks!
I liked it when the posts were shorter not as much pressure when kicking for goal set shot I mean
Peter Daicos
35:23 - There was 15 teams in the comp Micky, nice try though
These videos are good but there so heavily victorian favoured. Eagles one 2 flags in the 90s and are barely mentioned.
I'd rather this style of football than the netball on roller skates that the administrators have turned the game into.
100 in rd 16.. holy shit
8:42🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍Teddy
They don't make em like these guys anymore.
Biggest mistake from st killda letting go off LOCKETT!
10 years straight Finals football for Eagles fans.
My team (Collingwood) only won one premiership in the 90s (1990 Collingwood def. Essendon)
Because they’re shit
8:43 and 9:11 Ted Whitten showing his true colours.
He was an embarrassment at times.
Barry young is my cousins uncle
God we blew 98 so hard Terrible kicking
1990's and 2000's were great even the early 2010's weren't horrible but now it's just a bunch of clowns running the show
Yep 2016 is when the game began to change, and 2017 the game changed for the worst and completely fell apart. The game is a joke now.
Why did they call Lockett a pig at full forward,? I don’t get it, because he kicks lots of goals,? Or he eats a lot,? Or is he fat,?
WOMEN KILLED AFL
They love destroying things don't they
@Sam Fickling Congratulations you took the bait, you shouldn't give them satisfaction
They kill everything
sacked
The decade that deliverd lots of bullshit and still goes on to this day.
Greatest decade of football. Wayne Carey an absolute legend of a player.
The only downside to the 90s was the demise of Fitzroy.
