It was the decade that changed the face of football as we knew it.

There would be three new teams: Adelaide, Fremantle and Port Adelaide.

We would farewell Fitzroy and watch others like Footscray, Richmond, Melbourne and Hawthorn battle for their existence. For the first time non-Victorian clubs would take premiership honours.

The West Coast winning twice and Malcolm Blights Adelaide doing the seemingly impossible by winning back to back flags against the odds. It was a decade in which the feats of goal kicking maestros Jason Dunstall and Gary Ablett were overshadowed by the record breaker Tony Lockett. We marvelled at the great champions.

Robert Harvey sealed his greatness with a pair of Brownlow medals, Wayne Carey was named All Australian captain three times and Carltons veteran Craig Bradley played more games than any other through the nineties, and just kept on getting better. We farewelled Mr. Football, Ted Whitten with an emotional send off at the MCG and welcomed a raft of youngsters in Buckley and Crawford, Lloyd and Richardson, Grant and Cousins and so many more. Relive the magical moments, year by year in this extraordinary look at an unforgettable decade.

The decade that was the nineties.
