I’m in shock as Dermott the hunter becomes the hunted.
Geelong’s Steve Hocking and Hawthorn’s Dermott Brereton come to grips during the 1989 grand final.
With the one commercial television station (TVT6) dedicated to the local competition, I relied on Drew Morphett and 30 September 1989 was an unusually warm spring day in the Huon. But Wilson rises to the challenge – connecting the reader with their own emotions and partial memories of these key moments.I can feel that ghostly pale complexion and cold sweat that came over me as Don Scott drew Channel 7 viewers’ attention to events behind the play.
I absorbed the many precious inches of copy dedicated to the brutal first few seconds of play.
Hawthorn, seeking to go back-to-back for the first time was against a Geelong team that had not been in a Grand Final since 1967.
Tony played for and captained Hawthorn under 19's in 1989 and a listed Hawthorn player till 1992 - unfortunately he did not play a senior game. Hawthorn, seeking to go back-to-back for the first time was against a Geelong team that had not been in a Grand Final since 1967.
But there’s heaps of dennis tributes floating around the net.Thanks for this magnificent piece Gareth. Hawthorn, seeking to go back-to-back for the first time was against a Geelong team that had not been in a Grand Final since 1967. My late father – a freelance journalist – was despatched to Melbourne to document the career of Hawk legend and local hero Peter Hudson. Thanks to e-bay, I tracked down a surviving VHS tape copy last year – it’s so seventies, in retrospect more mockumentary than documentary.Getting my fix of the champions in gold and brown in rural Tassie was no easy feat. Indeed, Wilson describes a game almost pre-science in its lack of concussion protocols, pre-tolerance in its lack of cultural and racial diversity (see the chapter on Hawthorn’s ‘blackface’ banner), and pre-historic in its legalised brutality (you can almost hear the hiss of oxygen escaping Dipper’s punctured lungs).1989 VFL stands in stark contrast to the corporate world of the NBA captured in Coaching was clearly more art than science, more analogue than digital. When did Rat depart the game? And I can understand why Geelong fans might give it a miss.

Jeans is a father figure with a tough-love ethos – understated in public, pushing the boundaries of provocation behind closed doors at Glenferrie.
Jeans’ hard motivational talk inspires Dipper to place himself in danger – running on empty and ribs fractured, he throws his frame on the ground in the dying moments, smothering the Sherrin and Geelong’s remaining hopes.Wilson’s striking imagery captures the look, feel and vibe of the era. The objective was to score fast and often, not maintain possession. The 1989 Grand Final between Hawthorn and Geelong is considered one of the greatest of all. Wilson fills in gaps that modern-day television coverage – with its umpire cams and on-player microphones – wouldn’t have left to the imagination. Dipper is a big-hearted rebel without a cause, straightened out by a slap-down and some of ex-copper Jean’s straight-shooting talk. Thanks for the piece Gareth.Re D.
