Melbourne, I believe, over Essendon.
It was one of the few that had to be replayed due to a drawn result on the first attempt.
As I'm aware, all 3 replayed Grand Finals in history have, nevertheless, been won very convincingly on the second attempt: none of them have been close again on the second attempt at a result!

Melbourne Cricket Ground - 06/10/1990. 1990 was the 1st year as the 'AFL'. Previously the competition was known as the VFL (Victorian Football League. The name changed due to the expansion outside Victoria). The first 'VFL' Grand final was held at the Junction Oval on Sat 24-Sep-1898. There was no 'grand final' in the first VFL season (1897).
I' believe it was in 1897; but it was merely VFL state football back then. The previous [opening] year of the VFL, in 1896, the top team of the league after the home-and-away matches won the 'flag' with no finals. The AFL commenced in 1990: Collingwood won the premiership that year.
Fitzroy defeated Richmond at the Junction Oval [the original Richmond ground]: 9 12 (66) to 7 9 (51)
