Best:

Port Adelaide v Essendon at AAMI in 2001 - They were the dominant reigning premier at the time and it was the game where we kindof announced ourselves as contenders for the next few years.

Port Adelaide v StKilda 2004 Prelimnary final - Amazing game, amazing atmosphere, St Kilda very unlucky.

Worst:

I lost a showdown bet and had to go to the next Crows game, and it was the game at AAMI vs North Melbourne in about 2005 or 2006 where the Crows were goalless in the first half but still won. It wasn't even raining. Horrible, horrible game.
 
BEST:

Richmond Vs Essendon 2nd Semi Final, 1995 - I can't remember much of this match, but when I watch it back the goosebumps come back too. Knighter running down the wing taking numerous bounces and kicking a fantastic goal. Scotty Turner with one of the best bumps of all time. A stunning comeback after being down and out at half time to boot. BRILLIANT.

Richmond Vs Brisbane Round 17, 2008 - Such an awesome game. Back and forth contest all night. Brisbane had the game all sewn up heading into the last until we managed to kick 8 goals to 3 and take the match. Tambo played probably his best game to that point of his career. Richo turned it on, Bowden kicked some great goals including a stunning goal with about 30 seconds left. The atmosphere was electric, every one in the crowd was up and screaming just a brilliant game all round.

WORST:


Richmond Vs Melbourne Round 18, 2009 - **** THIS WAS AWFUL. Couldn't bare to watch the game, we won but it was the most uninspiring win of all time. Genuinley the worst game I have ever seen, skills were deplorable on both sides, nobody wanted to win. I basically ended up cheering for Melbourne as I thought that's who we wanted to win as we were playing so badly. AWFUL AWFUL MATCH. (The Sydney game last week wasn't much better TBH, but at least the Swans were ok for some of it.:eek:)

Collingwood Vs Carlton Round 17, 2009 - Shocking Friday night game. Exactly the type of match you don't want to be on when nothing else is. Skills were shocking in perfect conditions, the play was always so stop start and the match was just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING!!! Granted I didn't go to the match, but I sat through watching it, don't know why.:(
 
I have only ever been to 2 live games before, a win and a loss so that makes it easy.

The win was an Ansett Cup(?) game in the mid 90's were we smashed Geelong by 16 goals or something like that. I was lucky enough to be sitting right behind the goals and managed to see both Modra and Ablett Snr play that day.

The loss was rnd 2(?) 2006 against WCE. I had flown to Adelaide for my cousins 21st and decided to catch a game. WCE has been knocking us out of finals for a few yrs so I wanted to see them get pumped. After being 5 goals down at the start of the last qtr, we hit the front with only minutes left but lost by a few points.
