Game of the Year - 2024

[iGNITER]

Brisbane vs Geelong Prelim. Cracker.

Was also at the Geelong vs GWS game at GMHBA at that was a ripping game.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Essendon Adelaide at Marvel, lead changes, a late sealer, drama, best game of the home and away season.

The MCG Preliminary Final Geelong v Brisbane by a smidgen due to the crowd

 

[Lighthouse End]

Any game where the Toilet Ducks lost. Especially the thrashings like the GF. Beautiful to watch those freeloaders getting their bums smacked.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Its gotta be Port vs St Kilda.

The game where Ken Hinkley proved his doubters wrong once and for all and an unbelievably connected game against a really tough side in Melbourne. The emotional outpouring after the game and the way the players pulled together for that important win is something I'll never forget. The very best of football.

That was Kenny's Grand final.

 

[Bont the Lord]

Was a great game but what do you expect Geelong supporters to do when they lose a PF? Cheer for the Lions?

The issue was the Geelong fans around me carried on like they had the game in the bag. One bloke yelling game over and head to the airport Brisbane. Ouch!

 

[craffles]

Pear VS Hok semi final had it all from the pre match build up, the drama of the game itself and the post match fallout.

 

[Wojcinski]

The issue was the Geelong fans around me carried on like they had the game in the bag. One bloke yelling game over and head to the airport Brisbane. Ouch!

first time at the footy?

 

[WilloTree]

I loved watching Jesse dominate at one end and Big Joe Daniher steal it at the other in the Bris/GWS semi. A joy for fans of the big forwards and traditionalists. So that's my vote.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Bulldogs v Hawks Round 8 - Sicily's superman game with a bung shoulder, Calsher Dear's debut story and a great game

I'm glad somebody said this one.

Sliding doors game for this side.
James Sicily hasn't had his leadership questioned once since that day. Was a massive effort to not only return to the game but to kick the winner.
We also saw the debut of Calsher Dear who looks like a 300 game forward.

The only strange part of the whole day was the Bont not getting the 3 Brownlow votes. As a Hawthorn supporter it felt like he was the only one capable of ripping it away from us.

 

[M Malice]

We went to all 4 of the Lions finals games and the unlikely comeback v the Giants was the best emotionally(in the end, it was a rollercoaster of emotions over the whole game) I have been to, I had written us off at 44 points down, thought we were absolutely no chance.

The Prelim v the Cats was the highest standard game of the finals and a terrific back and forth game.

The GF was an unbelievably joyous experience, great to have a stress free easy win in the big dance.

Blues in the EF were just warm up cannon fodder for better things to come.
___________________________

Can not beat that finals series for drama and skill level as far as the Lions are concerned.

 

[Growapair]

Would have to be between the Melbourne Storm holding the reigning Premiers Penrith scoreless in Round 1 and the beating they handed the Roosters in the prelim last week

 

[JPetro83]

Essendon Vs Adelaide @ Marvel Stadium in Round 20.... the Rachele match winner in the last minute. high scoring game.. action packed from start to finish and that priceless look on Brad Scotts face when the siren went hehe

 

[Miller1971]

Knocking over the Blues in the last round and thinking we also knocked them out of finals was sweet. Only for Fremantle to ruin the fun.

 

[bungwahl]

Definitely the Lions v Cats PF.

Special mention to the Lions v GWS SF.

No mention at all to that putrid GF.

 

[Show_Me_The_Money]

Brisbane and Geelong in the prelim was my GOTY. Epic clash.

This is clearly the one. An epic Prelim final for the ages to go alongside '94, '99 and a few others.

 

[BigVic]

The preliminary final between Brisbane and Geelong is my game of the season. Best prelim in the last 8 years.

Leading into this game I thought they played their grand final in the semi vs GWS and will be tired with another week of travel and facing their bogey team at a state where they never won against them in 20 years.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Definately biased, but Higgins goal to beat the Blues in R24 & temporarily knock them out of the finals would of put a smile on the dial of many a Afl fan. Best game for this reason.

 

[marcus1232]

Selfishly Saints v Blues

Realistically
Geelong v Bris PF was a game of the highest quality

 

[Bont the Lord]

first time at the footy?

Nah, just as I mentioned previously, it was great watching them walk off close to tears!

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Top3 I'd go
Lions Cats PF
Lions GWS SF
Anzac Day

Worst game of the year, St Kilda Gold Coast by the length of the Flemington straight

 

[Deadly6]

The Granny

 

[Billy ray]
