GWS v Brisbane.
I have a rule of thumb saying that games where both sides score in the 95 - 110 range are the best games of footy, it ticked that box. It had many highlights, and probably the only real drawback is the lack of momentum swings and perhaps a bit of a sense of inevitability regarding the comeback.
The Sydney v Geelong game, like many games of that era, was not much to watch. Very low scoring (56 to 53, only nine goals total to three quarter time) and marred my inaccuracy, its only saving grace is an amazing last quarter from Nick Davis, culminating in the match winning goal just before the siren. Indeed, when we talk about this game, there is really no other highlight anyone remembers, probably because there wasn't any.
