The age have a poll for the best AFL / VFL grand final ever and the 1989 epic is dominating.
Apart from Ablett's brilliance and seeing Dermott get what he thoroughly deserved I don't think it was an enthralling game of football, only close for the last couple of minutes.
2005 was the most gripping GF I have ever seen in part because of who could have won it. Ever since that day I have had a soft spot for Sydney.
What do people think, can anyone vividly recall games in the 70's or prior ? Did anyone get to see one of those great GFs live?
