Carlton vs. Hawthorn
Grand Final
Saturday 26th September 1987
MCG
It was the day that Carlton defeated Hawthorn by 33 points, reversing the 1986 results between the two sides.
It was the day that will be remembered as one of the hottest Grand Final Days in recent history, with Melbourne reaching a scorching 31 degrees.
It was the day that Carlton's Wayne Johnston notified the umpire that Hawthorn had five players in the square, just ahead of the opening bounce. This resulted in a free kick for the Blues.
It was the day that Carlton's David Rhys-Jones quelled the influence of Dermott Brereton to earn the Norm Smith Medal.
