Answer: They were both won in October
Usually, AFL Grand Finals are played in September, but these two were played in October.
In 1990, Collingwood won the Grand Final in October due to the qualifying final between Collingwood and West Coast Eagles being a draw. They had to replay the match 1 week later, so the rest of the finals was delayed by one week.
In 2010, Collingwood drew with St Kilda (68-68) in the Grand Final and that had to be replayed a week later.
