Richmond v Sydney Round 23 2014. No better recently.
Beat 1st on the ladder to complete 9 game win streak and the turnaround from being =18th in round 14 to in the 8 at the end of Round 23.

 

[perthblue]

Carlton v Sydney, round 6 2011 stands out to me.
horrible conditions, SCG, we had only beaten the Swans once since the turn of the century.
Judd went berserk in the last qtr and dragged us over the line.

rd 23 2013 v Port also stands out. comeback win that landed us a spot in the finals.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

2003 vs Port at Kardinia Park.

2015 vs Adelaide at Kardinia Park.

 

[Aramis]

I would say the 2012 hawkins after siren game.... but we lost.... bloody poppy trying to scissor kick one from the boundary with 30 seconds left.....

Tonight, or last week, or the week before. .

In all seriousness, given what was riding on the match, probably the round 21 match vs the Bulldogs in 2005 when White kicked the winner. We were about three goals down with five minutes to go, similar to tonight.

Remember that night very fondly. It was my 21st birthday and was just having a 'quiet night' at the footy as I'd had surgery a week earlier.

It ended up being a massive night of celebrations culminating in me walking from the city to my parent's house in Mount Waverley.

Dead rubber for Sydney who rested a stack of players.

Round 14, 2009, the greatest home and away game in history.

Dees v Freo at the G Circa 2008 R7
Facing a 51point deficit at the Half time siren
Surely was one hell of a comeback, with the cattle we had on the park to work with.

Nowadays I would probably take the Hawthorn Win last year

 

[Arc1]

Porbably the time we played Collingwood at home that time. And that time we played Bulldogs away.

They were pretty good. But I reckon that time when you played Carlton away was better.

Sheezus that's a fair hike

Round 14, 2009, the greatest home and away game in history.

Hmm can't remember that one

 

[Daniel McL]

Same as some other Cats posters on here, either:

- 2011 beating Melbourne by 180+
- 2011 final round 96 point win vs Collingwood.
- 2012 Hawkins goal after siren.

 

[underthestars]

St Kilda vs Brisbane Rd 6 2004

St Kilda vs Geelong Rd 14 2009

These two, plus coming back from 41 points down against sydney with under nine minutes remaining in 94. Locket kicked 11.
The away win against west coast in perth for Harvey's 350th was also very special - the eagles came back from 44 down to draw within 4 points late, with all the momentum, and then we simply overran them in the last five minutes.

 

[Dizzy Stuff]

Round 5 2015 v Swans at the SCG. We had started the season strongly after most had tipped us to finish bottom 4, and this win really proved that it wasn't just a flash in the pan (to the public and, I think, to the players themselves). Genuine watershed moment for the club.

 

[Benny78]

They were pretty good. But I reckon that time when you played Carlton away was better.

That time was a great time indeed. But imo not as good a time as that time when we dominated Carlton at home.

 

[Tibbedy]

First ever showdown!

 

[Arc1]

That time was a great time indeed. But imo not as good a time as that time when we dominated Carlton at home.

Hm. I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this, sorry.

 

[PerthBoy86]

For comebacks, against Geelong at Skilled, and prior to that the Dogs at the WACA in 1998.

Beating Essendon at the MCG, early 2000s I think, for the first time in awhile, Eagles fans waving their scarves lol.

 

[pazza]

No-one should ever win when being down by 69 points in the 2nd quarter. Sure enough in Round 16 2001, it happened.

 

[willydave]

Sheezus that's a fair hike

You're telling me!

 

[SSSSSS]

Merger game.

Stands the test of time as one of the great H&A games of all time IMO.

I was only a youngin at the time and didn't fully appreciate the game until I rewatched it a few years back. Amazing stuff.

lol. But sure you're totally right, look how much they didn't care @ 4:58

Even a quote straight from the last quarter "You wouldn't know Sydney are safe and secure at the top of the ladder. They are still giving it everything".

But I sure love it when people try to bring up this excuse, its always fun to prove them completely wrong.

Lets look at the players missing from that team that played in the Grand Final team - Franklin, Kennedy, Bird and Pyke. Thats a rested "stack" of players? Minor premiers can't cover that insane list of outs, right?
They only had Hannebery, Malceski, Mitchell, Parker, Jack, Grundy, Shaw, Jetta, McVeigh, Lloyd, Rohan, Richards, Goodes, Reid, Tippet in the team. Barely a single good player!
They rested so many that they started as $1.33 favorites while Richmond was $3.35 to win!

Sad that any good Richmond win seems to have a reason why it wasn't actually a good win.
