However, since winning the <a href="/wiki/1958_VFL_Grand_Final" class="mw-redirect" title="1958 VFL Grand Final">1958 VFL Grand Final</a>, Collingwood had made <a href="/wiki/Colliwobbles" title="Colliwobbles">nine unsuccessful grand final attempts in 32 years</a> (including a draw in the <a href="/wiki/1977_VFL_Grand_Final" class="mw-redirect" title="1977 VFL Grand Final">1977 VFL Grand Final</a> against <a href="/wiki/North_Melbourne_Kangaroos" class="mw-redirect" title="North Melbourne Kangaroos">North Melbourne</a>). Essendon had last played a grand final in <a href="/wiki/1985_VFL_Grand_Final" class="mw-redirect" title="1985 VFL Grand Final">1985</a>, which it had won against <a href="/wiki/Hawthorn_Football_Club" title="Hawthorn Football Club">Hawthorn</a>; that match was the last game of Collingwood coach and then-Hawthorn forward <a href="/wiki/Leigh_Matthews" title="Leigh Matthews">Leigh Matthews</a>' playing career. </p><p>At the conclusion of the <a href="/wiki/Home_and_away_season" class="mw-redirect" title="Home and away season">home-and-away season</a>, Essendon had <a href="/wiki/List_of_VFL/AFL_minor_premiers" title="List of VFL/AFL minor premiers">finished first</a> on the AFL ladder with 17 wins and 5 losses. Collingwood had finished second with 16 wins and 6 losses. The top five qualified for the finals, which were played under the <a href="/wiki/McIntyre_system" title="McIntyre system">McIntyre final five system</a>. </p><p>Unusually, the grand final was held in October, since Collingwood and <a href="/wiki/West_Coast_Eagles" title="West Coast Eagles">West Coast</a> played a draw in the qualifying final at <a href="/wiki/Waverley_Park" title="Waverley Park">Waverley Park</a> in the first week of the finals. The match was replayed the following week, with Collingwood winning convincingly by 59 points to advance to the second semi-final against Essendon. In the second semi-final, Collingwood scored ten goals to two after half time to win by 63 points and advance to the grand final. Essendon faced West Coast in the preliminary final, winning by 63 points, to earn its place in the grand final. </p><p>Collingwood's drawn qualifying final with West Coast caused the grand final and all other finals to be delayed by a week from the originally scheduled dates, which proved both controversial and commercially challenging. It was controversial because, when Essendon played the second semi-final, it had been 21 days since its last competitive match (having received the minor premier's bye, followed by a bye for the replayed final); although the club played an unofficial practice match against 12th-placed Fitzroy during the second week, the extra week off was thought to have affected Essendon's form and contributed to its losses in the second semi-final and, ultimately, the grand final.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It also caused an unprecedented commercial and logistical challenge, as a large number of league and corporate events related to grand final week had to be rescheduled, impacting travel, venues and hotels; drawn finals had occurred before, but the number and scale of corporate grand final week events had increased significantly since the last time a drawn finals match forced the grand final to be rescheduled in 1972.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As a result, starting from 1991, the rules were changed to allow <a href="/wiki/Overtime_(Australian_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Overtime (Australian football)">extra time</a> to be played in drawn finals (excluding the grand final) to ensure the grand final date would not change. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Match_summary">Match summary</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1990_AFL_Grand_Final&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Match summary"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="First_quarter">First quarter</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1990_AFL_Grand_Final&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: First quarter"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The match began with Essendon starting strongly, as the Bombers' beanpole full-forward <a href="/wiki/Paul_Salmon" title="Paul Salmon">Paul Salmon</a> kicked two early goals from strong marks.

Collingwood, playing in front at the contests, benefitted from this, and won several free kicks and fifty metre penalties, from which they scored five goals in the first nine minutes of the quarter.
