Maybe not quite big enough, but what about Wright's smother, Dangerfield's pickup and Brad Crouch's goal in the 2nd Showdown of 2014? Set up our first Showdown win at AO and that crowd roar when Crouch kicks the goal is amazing.

 
Ok, I've got one. I don't think it's been mentioned.

I think it was our first ever win at the MCG, we beat Richmond ... by 38 points if I remember correctly. The Southern Stand was under construction so Cornesy directed our guys to play out that side of the ground whenever they could to take the crowd out of the equation.

I still remember the headline the next day "What A Way To Break A Hoodoo!"

Robbed blind by the umps in 1 point loss at Victoria Park v Collingwood. Pretty sure it was the last time we had to play at that cesspit, would have been nice to go out with a win. Pittman not paid a mark in the goalsquare late in the game.
 
Those shocking Foodland ads proclaiming we were "The Mighty South Aussies" which would come on between opposition goals when we were being thrashed by 15+ goals by Essendon, St Kilda, etc.
 
Carey vs Goal Post.

He was building some sort of momentum before that and was starting to look like his old self finally.

As much as I loved him at the AFC, I've always thought "footy karma".

Just a thought...

Could Eddie turning to the PAP crowd to seal the deal be added to this list?

Could any other moments from this year be added?

The game at Subi? That was a BIG win in many ways. Compared to the last time we played them there, needing a good scalp on the road, and just generally rarely winning over there.

If you want to pin point a moment you could go with Tex's collect and handball to Lynch.

Added that and his GOTY vs GWS (If it doesn't win, he's been robbed)
 
When port power entered the league some patches of turf from alberton were transplanted into footy park. (God knows why)

According to adelaide fc folklore, after training some crows players fertilised them.
I was there that day.. with my high school.. a helicopter transferred the patches of turf
 
Well, if we win the bloody flag this year it will become folklore that's for sure! Fingers crossed. I think we're in for some very 'folkloric' moments (good or bad) over the next four weeks.

By that, I mean Dangerfield taking the winning mark to eliminate us (bad) or Tex nailing a 55-metre goal to win the grand final (good). Who the heck knows! I'm along for the ride, and this is an extremely exciting time to be a Crows supporter.

R15 2009 vs Fremantle.
Need I say more.

Also, the return of the hoops. (2015-16.)

Jake Lever's 2 for the price of one dummy sell for 1st goal vs Fremantle.

For me personally, 155-74 (my first full game watched vs Sydney R5 1999.) Mark Stevens' 5 or 6 dominant goals.
