MORE never-before-seen photographs of the immediate aftermath of the 1987 Grand Final have surfaced on the eve of the 30^th anniversary reunion of members of the Carlton premiership team.

The first four images captured moments after the final siren were featured on the Club website on Tuesday. A further nine photos, which surfaced this morning, were captured on the Melbourne Cricket Ground moments after the final siren signalled the Blues’ 15^th premiership victory – 15.14 (104) to Hawthorn’s 9.17 (71) – on a sweltering last Saturday in September. 

Featured among the glorious black and white images is a siren-time photograph of Tom Alvin, Craig Bradley, Stephen Silvagni and Peter Dean in wild embrace. Another, in which an exhausted, elated Wayne Johnston falls into the arms of the then physical education instructor Chris Jones, is set against the backdrop of the since-demolished Smoker’s and Olympic Stands.

Also featured is the jubilant Carlton coach Robert Walls, arm-in-arm with the then Stephen Gough, who this year announced his retirement after 17 years as CEO of the MCC and the stadium it manages, the MCG.

1987 premiership coach Robert Walls – together with 19 of the 20 who played their part in the victorious Grand Final team – will be in attendance for the Spirit of Carlton reunion luncheon on Friday and the matchday function at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.

The notable apology is Peter Dean, the 248 dual Carlton premiership player who is this weekend committed to coaching duties with Bullioh in the Upper Murray League second semi-final.
