1989 Reserves Grand Final Geelong v Fitzroy

[@VHKDK]

One of the advantages of being a Fitzroy season ticket holder was being easily able to get the entire finals series tickets without having to queue up for hours. This was the last Fitzroy game I went to before sadly moving away from Melbourne but what a game it was and great memories including going into the rooms after their victory. From what I remember Geelong had a team in each game that day and lost all three by a total of 9 points, although the U19s was a preliminary final due to an earlier drawn game. Many thanks for showing this, greatly appreciated.

I was a Fitzroy Social Club member that year but didn't go to the GF. It was Fitzroy's first Grand Final win in decades in reserve or senior grade, so I went to the club rooms at the Junction Oval to be part of the inevitable celebration. The place was deserted. Good memories though. Thanks very much.

The only match that mattered in the 89 GF

Hinkley and Mansfield should both have been playing in the Firsts.

Geelong lost all 3 Grand Finals that day by a goal or less, U19’s, Reserves and Seniors

[@michaelciavarella3849]

The Under 19s was actually a Preliminary Final, due to there being a draw during the Under 19s Finals. Richmond beat North Melbourne the next week at Waverley Park

It was a Swan Lager Commercial. It featured Greg Norman. "They said You'd Never Make it"

Good game. Dropshot

Morgan sounds like he was unlucky to miss being picked in the seniors
