Ben Hart's 1st quarter in this GF was immense and sadly overlooked - he involves himself in about 10 contests deep in North Melbourne's forward line and either nullifies the danger or wins the ball himself time and again, if you watch closely.

Ben Hart: a North Adelaide Football Club LEGEND 9even though my AFL team is North!)

Thank you for the video.I watched the 1997 finals where Adelaide won but I think I missed the 1998 final.

Imagine finishing 5th, then losing the first week of the finals yet still awarded a second chance, then this happens.

Good thing the stupid McIntyre final eight system got ditched just two Seasons later. Giving a double chance to a team that finishes outside the top 4 is ridiculous.

Nowadays 5th plays 8th in an elim final. You can’t compare that to playing the 4th ranked team in a final 8 system.

@@comeatmebro3229I don’t know if any 4th or 5th ranked team exited in the first week of finals. If Adelaide had won that first final no one would have complained about 4th ranked Melbourne getting a second chance, People confuse 5th in an 8 team finals system with the old 4th v 5th elim final

Still having nightmares about the flag that got away. North should have been 10 goals in front at half time and out of sight. Shocking kicking for goal.

Just like in the previous year's grand final, Adelaide found their groove in the 4th quarter and just pulled away late.

They way football has changed is soo different

Hey Mr Raleigh98- it would mean so much to me if u posted teh 2007 grandfinal where the cats smashed port adelaide xx

Sadly, this was the only footy we had in the USA at the time, after having a 1-hour highlights show on a 2-week delay in 1994-1997. We got almost every round of the 1997 season, and did NOT get the Grand Final. This year, we got only the Grand Final. It was the beginning of a brutal period of fighting for footy coverage in the US. However, it did bring us AFANA, as well as the beginnings of the USAFL. That said, the second half saw Jarman go to work. It was weird seeing Ricciuto in the forward half when he was better at CHB. McKernan and Capuano had no answer to Shaun Rehn, and was that really two hands into the back of Micky Martin's head?

The one that got away...Literally

Geez talk about Nth kicking themselves out of the game! What a waste of opportunities!

Definitely 2nd quarter cost north the game. Should have been over at half time. Crows made the most of it after that

Interesting observation with the start of the second quarter. I will stand corrected, but, isn't it the bouncing of the ball on the ground, in the centre circle, that starts the quarter? Why was it then that 3 seconds had elapsed when the ball was bounced? Edit: Noticed that the last quarter was 7 seconds in when the ball was bounced.

You are correct in terms of the 2024 Laws of Australian Football (law 10.4), but in 1998 it was as Kane said. I don't have access to the rules in 1998, but in 2008 there was still no special law for the start of a quarter. Law 10.5.3 said, "A field Umpire shall signal to the Timekeeper to stop the clock or re-start the clock used for the timing of the Match by blowing a whistle and raising one arm above his or her head."

they finished the roo's like the saints the year before

I'm a Crows fan and it sort of hurts watching this. This will never happen in my life. I've endured 29 years of Crows letting me down. I've known since I was a kid that I would never see my club win a flag. They started being cursed when I started supporting them.

I honestly do not understand how more than half of the physical interactions on a football fiekd onvolving Glenn Archer weren't calked as free kocks against him. He was so quick to grab a kumper, lock am arm, throw an elbow in your face.....he was such a turd. And somehow that kind shite was thought highly of back tyen. You jever saw Jason Dunstall, Peter Curran, Robbie Flower etc usimg those weak tactics. No. Theu played fotball. Not thugball as Archer did. No I follow Hawthorn amd we had our share of thugs....but ours could at least play football too. Archer only had one gear. If you call him I believe he'll sell you some.

I didn't notice that while watching live on TV, but can understand a player's mentality. It's the last game of the season, and there is no send-off rule. The worst penalty could be suspension at the start of the following season. That's a bargain! The AFL was getting tough by 2004, issuing combinations of fines with suspensions. Alastair Lynch got the largest one: 10 weeks + $15,000 - although he'd already announced his retirement, so it was only $15K. You are correct about Jason Dunstall et al being at the highest end of sportsmanship. They provided better value to their teams by using their supreme skills than by using dirty tactics.

North were at their peak here and Adelaide’s 2nd half steam rolled them by 50 points in 55 mins on the MCG. Seriously can’t comprehend how that North side were smashed like that.

Geez...the MCG looks like shite!! Gken Archer the AFL's biggest thug.

Was a good game. Especially considering North Melbourne finished top and won 11 games in a row before the GF and were a certainty to win the GF, BUT THEY DIDN'T! THEY GOT SMASHED BY A BETTER TEAM 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
