1990 AFL reserves season
71st season of the AFL reserve grade competition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1990 AFL reserves season was the 71st season of the AFL reserve grade competition, the Australian rules football competition operating as the second-tier competition to the Australian Football League (AFL).
The premiership was won by Carlton after they defeated Melbourne in the 1990 AFL reserves Grand Final, held as a curtain-raiser to the 1990 AFL Grand Final at the MCG on 6 October.[1][2]
This was the first season under the AFL reserves name, after the competition was renamed when the Victorian Football League (VFL) was renamed to the AFL.[3]
