Greatest prelims of all time

The excitement of winning the close one in 2011, especially Daisy's last tackle on Cyril, was fantastic.
But for sheer enjoyment, the first half of the 2010 Prelim v Geelong was the best for me. The noise of the "COLLLLL INGGGG WOOOOOD" chant all around the ground was deafening. I got an SMS from a mate in Burnley asking what was happening, as he could hear it from his house.

That's awesome
 
The 2004 St Kilda v Port prelim was an epic game, just a pity we were on the wrong end of the result.

The 2009 St Kilda v Bulldogs prelim was epic too, it was a low scoring game but it was close and tense the whole way with thankfully a better result for us.



The umpiring in the Hawthorn v Adelaide prelim in 2012 was even worse, no prizes for guessing which team benefited from the terrible umpiring.
*Nods* no prizes for you?

I don't remember many. The 07 PF was epic. Didn't mind the Hawk v Port one a few years back. I watched the 99 PF from start to finish a few weeks ago for the first time and that has to be #1
 
Going by the benchmark of close GFs being good.

2011 was better than 2005 of course, but it's not really going to be counted as a classic GF.

2008 Grand final not a close finish and maybe I'm bias because of my allegiance but that was a fantastic game of football.

I have been to the last 5 preliminaries and 4 grand finals- 2013 by far the best PF I was in tears at 3 quarter time. Everyone thinks Hawks members are kissed on the dick but before 2007 I literally watched the footy for Crawford and before that Dunstall. And then 2009/10 was shit. And then absolute heart break in 2011 and 2012. So I thought here we go another lost opportunity- but thankfully Burgyone, Mitchell amongst others brought it home and have changed history.

I would rate the 2015 PF better than the 2014 PF
