Round 4 brings a collection of memorable first encounters. We recall the nascent rivalry between Collingwood and Carlton, the historic clash between the league's two oldest teams at the MCG, and Gary Ablett Junior's standout performance in Adelaide. Brisbane secured a gritty victory at the Gabba despite inaccurate kicking, while a Footscray defender clinched a dramatic win. As a bonus, we delve into University's inaugural match against Essendon in 1908.

We did it, we finally got off our backsides and recorded the final episode of the 1989 season, which focusses almost exclusively on the Hawks 1989 Premiership triumph. We go through quarter by quarter as well as debate whether it is in fact the greatest Grand Final of all time.
We chat a little about the Bulldogs potential merger before finishing our final VFL episode.
Thanks for hanging in there
We will be back for the 2025 season soon.

Here is part 2 of our look at the 1989 VFL Football season (there will also be a part 3 soon). We take a look at the 5 finalists here, and get stuck into the bombers resurgence, the Cats with some absolutely massive wins, and the Hawks machine just keeps on rolling. We also talk about the Brownlow and retrospective Brownlows awarded in 89.
The Kick to Kick Podcast aims to go through each year of the VFL/AFL season and bring out the stories, highlights, winners, and losers of days gone by.
