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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
