I'll have to try to find it, every time I see my mate he brings it up.

Back on subject- Watching these games I reckon the game was a better standard 93-96 than it was 97-99?

Yeah, I'm not sure. I can recall some pretty high quality and high scoring games in the 97-99 period.

Why leads you to believe there's a change in the standard?

I guess one reason might be that the late 90s heralded the genesis of the professionalism that we're seeing today, whereas the early to mid 90s was to my mind a continuation of the style employed in the 1980s.

I look at both the grand finalists from 93-96 compared to 97-99 and I think the teams from the earlier games are of a better standard. If anything the league was better depth wise in the late 90's but the top end tallent I don't think was as strong.

Ablett/Salmon shoot out on tonight. Mid 80's-90's was a much better era to watch than the junk served up now

Am I right in saying that Ablett kicked 14, Salmon 10, and Essendon won by less than a kick? (I'm going from memory, I don't have Foxtel).

14 goals in a losing side, not bad at all. Must be the record for the highest individual score in a losing match?

Another example of the high scoring and fast play that makes our game unique and exciting, and a reminder of what is being snuffed out by the current batch of administrators and 'coaching' experts.

Reckon Blighty may have kicked 14.0 for Woodville one day against West ('85?) and have a feeling we lost.

Funnily enough, I remember talking to a mate about this in the mid-90's and we thought 93 was when it reached it's peak. Perhaps it was because of Crow-Mania (and I'm not a Crows fan) in 93, they played some brilliant footy combined with, as you say, the peak of the 80's-style, pre-professionalism, and it was the time when the AFL really seemed to take over in the collective conscience in SA. Perhaps this is just my perception.

Also seemed, IMO, there were more great teams in the early 90's. Towards the end of the 90's, how many great teams were there? Essendon, North were still pretty good, but WC were dropping off, Crows weren't great just great at the right times, Collingwood struggling. Sydney, Carlton and Melbourne were only reasonable teams that played in GF's.
