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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
