Good call. Would be up there for me too, sensational game. Definitely the highlight of Troy Schwarze's career anyway.

These two games would have to be up there too.

The 2009 Collingwood QF (reminds you just how awesome Riewoldt was in that game)

The 2009 Bulldogs Prelim Final (especially around the 3:30 mark, total mayhem)

Demolition Derby

Demolition Derby

And the showdown where Crows finished with 18.

AFL need "NFL Films" style production. Sadly, they have no interest in there own production levels.

Underrated Mark Of The Decade - Brad Ottens v the Swans out at Homebush - an absolute cracker of the old school variety.

Most overrated moment of the decade - Moorcroft's mark - just doesn't do it for me.

any game involving Sydney v West Coast

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

The Sirengate thing was pretty big. To have the result of a match changed mid week was pretty amazing, and for the AFL to actually get something right was nothing short of a miracle as well.

Eagles v Crows 2006 PF

 

[The Swert]

He took that mark v the Bulldogs.

Ugh. For some reason I envisaged Brad Johnson in a St Kilda jumper. Shame on me.

Those NFL films are unreal. I have zero interest in the NFL, I find it virtually unwatchable but those NFL films have me glued.

2007 smashing of Port in the GF
2007 Prelim final Cats VS Collingwood (for the non-cats supporters sakes, it was unfortunate the following week couldn't be as competitive)
2007 RD 6 Geelong VS Richmond - Kickstarted the Geelong era
Bartel and Ablett's long deserved Brownlow wins.
Rd 14 2009 Saints VS Cats - We lost, but that was one of the best AFL games I had seen in a very long time.
2009 GF
Rd 17 2009 Hawks VS Geelong with the cats getting up by a point kicked on the siren after being five goals down and written off in the 4th quarter.

Outside of Geelong - The close WCE V Sydney GF's and the Brisbane trifecta were also highlights.

This was my favourite highlight of the decade

2007 Grand Final Geelong v Port Adelaide - This was a great moment for Cats fans who have waited for 44 years to finally break the drought and not only for the cats fans, but for Victoria in general. After 6 years on the road, the premiership cup finally comes back to Victoria.

Round 21, 2009 - North Melbourne v St Kilda - It was the greatest win of all time, to upset the premiership contender, was unbelievable. It is the first time that we have beaten a side that was going to be a premiership threat since 2004. It was also the week that James Hird called us "soft" for appointing Brad Scott, it was a moment i will never forget.

He may have possibly over reacted

 

[damochandler]

Wrong decade.

you should have sid, when did he ever have a purple patch

 

[Bell2004]

Umm...

Ok, maybe not the greatest win of all time, but the best win we had in the 2009 season.

 

[WALL-e]

Was a quality game.

 

[SJ]

I would have though 71.57 from his first 14 games at senior level was somewhat of a purple patch, albeit off-topic in 1991.

 

[Premiers04]

Motlop checkside from the boundary 50 metres out losing goal of the year to a back heel.....was lol worthy

Melbourne coming back from 50 points down at half time to win against Fremantle in 2008 was pretty amazing.

.........what more can be added?

Firstly great selection of games /players. Good effort to reduce bias to your own team.
Secondly I'm so pleased you put R22 2002 Port-Brisbane in, that was an all-time classic and at the ground you couldn't hear the siren for the crowd yelling (yes, we used to get crowds). It was also when Choco reinvented Chad Cornes as a defender and Choco's duels with Jonathan Brown began.
Thirdly I'd add R17 2001 Port-Essendon which was as fast and skillful as anything I've ever seen, and we won by 7 points. And I'd add about 2/3 of the Derbys that had Josh Carr in them. And there was a Geelong/Adelaide game in the rain at Kardinia Park when Garry Ayres still coached the Crows that had me enthralled. Mark Riccuito was a one man team that day.
