The key bullet points out of Steve O'Dwyer's victorious acceptance speech:

1) The chairman of the sponsor congratulated Melbourne Skipper "Mike" O'Dwyer.

2) In O'Dwyer's victorious speech he encouraged "all the single girls to get back to the York Hotel and we'll all have a chat"

3) The MC of the night Mike Williamson then proceeded to remark "Well spoken Strawbs" at the conclusion of O'Dwyer's victory speech.

Ah 1989 - a little less PC than today.

Wow ! Beat the Cats and  collected the 1989 Fosters challenge Cup in Toronto.  which is surrounded by the 12 Premiership Cups. 

We are the Champions of the world !    

 

I'm pretty sure we won in 1990 as well beating Essendon and West Coast in London? Would have to check but I'm pretty sure I have these on DVD somewhere (converted from VHS of course).

Was this the game played on fake (plastic) grass?

Rogers Centre had or still has astro turf.

Saw a few of the boys running around in white runners in the video.

Didn't we also play Adelaide in London just after the 2000 grand final??

Can't remember if we won but I don't think many of us would've cared at the time coming off a dismal GF.
