1996 AFL Grand Final

1996 AFL Grand Final

The 1996 AFL Grand Final took place on September 28, 1996 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between AFL clubs North Melbourne and Sydney. Sydney were playing in a grand final for the first time since relocating from South Melbourne. The match, attended by 93,102 people, was won by North Melbourne by 43 points, their third premiership.

Match Summary

The AFL's Centenary year was crowned by North Melbourne which made amends for the dissapointment of three successive failed finals campaigns. The Roos won their third flag (and the only Gold Premiership Cup in history) despite a slow start against a side which was playing in its first Grand Final since 1945. The Sydney Swans might have been South Melbourne back then, but they added a new dimension and although overwhelmed at the finish, perdormed admirably. Led by the bullocking Glenn Archer and superstars Corey McKernan and Wayne Carey, the Roos were hellbent in their premiership quest.
Tony Lockett tried hard for the Swans in his first ever Grand Final, booting 6 goals.
