Game of the Year - 2024

[Bill Crouse]

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

The gather round St Kilda v Richmond game was arguably a worse match.

The gather round St Kilda v Richmond game was arguably a worse match.

Funny, because we were out and about in Adelaide that day then watched the second half replay of this one when we got home.

High scoring and rather entertaining second half. But gees, that first half must have been as bad as it gets considering the nominations it's getting.

These days, I assume any St Kilda game at Docklands is automatically disqualified. Otherwise, for worst game may I resurrect the trauma of watching:
Round 14, 2024
STK 3.1 4.5 6.7 7.9 (51)
G.C 1.1 2.3 5.5 7.6 (48)
That's right. A team can kick 4 goals in three quarters in pristine conditions and still win. *&(( Ross Lyon.

A completely forgotten gem from this season (ignore my bias).




Dockers were third. We were still hunting a way into the top 8.

A complete arm wrestle with momentum swings aplenty.

The anomaly of the game being that only 9 players on the day had over 20 disposals, with the most being James Worpel

Almost identical in most major categories.


The contest was finished off with Nick Watson's memorable goal from the boundary line. From that moment on he barely missed in front of goal.

Pies comeback over North

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!

Do you happen to have this chap's home address? I'd like a word.

The ones that come to mind for me:

Essendon v Adelaide R19
Carlton v St Kilda R24
GWS v Brisbane SF
Brisbane v Geelong PF

One of the worst this season was the St Kilda v Richmond game in Gather Round. I think it was at Norwood. Truly dire football.

LAte to the party, I agree with the Saints-Richmond game, but I also loved it being on the Parade. Epic experience.

Worst game for mine was Melbourne-Geelong. It was pathetic footy, so poor. Tight finish but that 2nd quarter was one of the most painful watching experiences I've had at a football game.

Probably in a Corio commission flat somewhere
