1993 AFL Grand Final

1993 AFL Grand Final

The 1993 AFL Grand Final took place on September 25, 1993 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between AFL clubs Carlton and Essendon. Essendon won the match by 44 points to take out their 15th premiership in front of a crowd of 96862 people.

Match Summary

Essendon had caused a sensation during the week when they omitted Derek Kickett from their team. Kickett had played every game of the season up to that point but had lost form during the finals series. Carlton were forced to make a late change when veteran defender Peter Dean was ruled out through injury.

Kevin Sheedy produced a second generation of 'Baby Bombers', who came from nowhere to punch a flag that had seemed out of reach at half-time of the preliminary final, when they trailed the Adelaide Crows by 42 points. But the Bombers charged home in the second half in that game, then carried the form into 'The Big One' against the Blues, with the individual brilliance of Michael Long the most memorable feature. Stephen Kernahan tried hard for the Blues with 7 goals, but his side barely threatened after being down by 5 goals at the first change.
