Fantastic thread. I have wanted the AFL to award a Game of the Year for a long time. Maybe not as officially as the original poster suggested, but perhaps on Grand Final day, in an unofficial capacity, a small number of experts get together and decide on one match. I am much happier as a footy fan watching great footy games, and care less about great players. I love the idea.
Game of the Year in 2014 to date. Well, for compelling, edge-of-your-seat excitement, the Round 2 game that featured Essendon and Hawthorn, Round 3 game between Bulldogs and Richmond, as well as the Round 6 game between Carlton and West Coast probably top the list, but a game that probably deserves top billing, a game that was played between two great teams that had plenty of highlights, Geelong and Hawthorn.
But it's a great debate, what type of games deserve the title of best game of the season? A thriller between two sides who perhaps aren't the greatest teams, so the games like the Bulldogs-Richmond, and Carlton-West Coast that I mentioned already, or games between two great sides that is a fantastic exhibition of football, but perhaps doesn't quite go down to the wire, such as the Cats and the Hawks.
