Involving non port teams, I would probably give last year's to Sydney. I really didn't want that Geelong group to win one as I find them and extremely annoying bunch of campaigners.

The saints not getting over the line always felt like a bit of an injustice.
That was disappointing because it was game over so early on. I wanted to see a good spectacle at least. It was a shock because I think Sydney beat Geelong earlier, and the games between the Cats and Pies and Swans and Pies in the finals were close. Swans seemed happy and a bit surprised to be there while Scott's Cats were hellbent on some sort of redemption narrative.
 
2017 Richmond. If we change the result in that one, then that would erase the 27 Dusty GOAT threads and the 120 other Richmond threads.

Think of how much better Bigfooty would be today if 2017 never happened.:D

Ahhh, the good old days, when Richmond were irrelevant and made us all smile.:)
Passing up on a chance to give your team an extra flag just to remove one from another side.

Gotta respect this amount of hate 😍

No Richmond ones because I've never seen Richmond lose a GF in my lifetime.

Maybe 1995, take away Carltons Brown Paper bag GF.

If I could change the results of the 2018 preliminary though...
 
2007 - if things had gone our way we could have won that.

In all seriousness, if choco had decided to just plug the game up after it was obvious we were done, I think we wouldn't have ended in the 2010-2011 doldrums. Flood the backline and choke the game up and lose by 60 and no one cares.
Dean Brogan said they didn't train properly that week and he wasn't confident in the 'new' squad. Also, Choco was too busy during that week doing press. Although, Port did rebound better than The Crows after their 2017 GF loss, they still haven't returned to finals in 6 seasons, whereas Port did after 5 seasons missing out.
 
2004... we should of played an earned Prelim at the Gabba instead of at the MCG and untimely injuries to Jonathan Brown, Alistair Lynch and Shaun Hart caught up to us in the 4th quarter unfortunately.

Neutral GF- Would of liked the Swans to beat the Dogs in 2016.

Fancy comparing 1 instance of human error to systemic and prolonged cheating

The umpiring in the 2016 GF was nowhere near as bad as people complain about.

Regardless, to debunk the conspiracy, the AFL had more to gain from a Sydney victory than a struggler from the western suburbs of Melbourne anyway.
 
Involving Richmond - probably 72 to give us a three-peat (72,73,74).

Not Richmond - 1990 is tempting to have given Collingwood a 52 year drought. But then that would give Essendon 17 flags. So maybe not. So 2010, Pies would be on a 33 year drought, St Kilda would have a second flag and Carlton would have the longest drought of the VFL sides.
