It was one of the very best finals matches in the 1980s. In truth it was a brilliant, gutsy performance by Carlton in winning that finals match. Hawthorn were in almost unbeatable form leading up to that finals match, winning their last 4 matches leading up to their finals match against Carlton by an average of 60-70 points. Subsequently Hawthorn won the Preliminary Final against Fitzroy by over 50 points & the Grand Final against Carlton by 42 points. Carlton played amazing, great football in their 2nd Semi Final win against the unbeatable Hawthorn. That match should have been the Grand Final in 1986.
