NH - Best ever grand final in Aussie rules history

1st 2018 (not sure why no one above has even mentioned it?!)

It was a reply to the A-League threads. Someone was feeling threatened.

Matt, Matt, Matt, why you trolling with such a nonsensical thread, that game isn't even in the top 100 of best games let alone grand finals.

2012 Hawks Vs Swans was an absolute belter of a game. Still gutted the Hawks lost that one, but probably fueled the next 3 so I can't complain!

1984 SANFL GF Norwood beat traditional rivals Port Adelaide.

Norwood from 5th spot came out of the blocks early and at Qtr time it was Norwood 27 to 8. Port are never down unless you hammer a wooden stake through their heart and burn the carcass with napalm. They kicked 10.9 to 7.5 to squeeze ahead of the Handbaggers from the Parade by 3 points at 3 quarter time. It looked like the fairy tale of Norwood becoming the first team to win from 5th was gone, but Rocky Roberts, who had stabbed my beloved Eagles in the back and changed clubs "so he could win a flag" kicked truely in the 4th and the Redlegs picked the Magpies pocket to take out the game by 9 points.

Lol.

It was a pretty poor game overall. Methinks the OP is a tigers supporter. So based on that it was probably the best gf in at least 37 years.

But to anyone else it wouldn't even be in the top 20-30 mostly because it was a shit game.

Agreed, Kings-Razorbacks 2004 GF series was epic. Also 20080Kings-Tigers when it looked like Kings had it in the bag but Tigers came through. Both series went to five.

As a neutral fan, this GF was an anticlimax. No way will it be considered a classic.
From a Richmond POV, sure, it was amazing. Though IMO last year's Bulldogs still eclipses it, but very similar "team of destiny" type storylines with an awesome ending for the team & its success-starved fans.

Wouldn't be in the top ten , unless I was a Tigers supporter

Unless you are a tigers fan, I thought this years GF was pretty boring.

I don't really care what Molloy or Richo are doing in the lead up to and during every 5 mins of the game. Killers were good but I'm there for the game.

2005 was a personal favourite- in modern AFL times.

try including 2005 and 2006 as some of the best ever - that sydney west coast rivalry for a few years was sensational
