As a 'neutral' I enjoyed 2012 the most- momentum swings and a great final quarter.
really hope we get a classic tomorrow
I was just having my own footy marathon with the lad tonight. Not just Grand Finals, but we watched the last quarters of the following:
- Eagles vs Carlton round 11, 2006 (second week in a row the Eagles had a massive comeback to win, this time against the bottom placed Blues who were 44 points up in the third at Subi... was the first game I ever took my wife to and I was yelling at all the fuddy duddy oldies who were quiet all game to make some noise and lift the team. Needless to say, the last quarter was crazy loud)
- 2010 Grand Final draw - was actually just a scrappy, shitty contest with the highlights being Hayes' goal, Goddard's mark/goal, Maxwell's goal square save and also his half back mark over Gilbert, and I guess the frantic last minute or so but players were just way too tired to actually do anything special. Extra time in the game I just can't imagine.

It's weird, I remember it being much more enthralling, but I guess when you know the result it takes away from it. I've seen it a few times and every time I keep wondering if I can mentally will the Saints to the win, lol.
- 2009 Eagles vs Hawthorn - Naitanui's second ever AFL game. Wanted to show the lad Nic's last quarter heroics.
- 2012 Grand Final - just an epic last quarter. I watched this with my cousin, a Hawks supporter, and was gutted for him (**** the campaigner, though, he's given me shit in 2005 and I held off in 2012, only to cop it anyway in 2015 from the wanker). But I do enjoy it because I never really got to enjoy the 2005 Swans drought breaker.

Also, Sydney seem to be a better team as the underdog, they suck with Buddy now and being really, really good.
- 2011 Western Derby - the one where Ballantyne hit the post after the siren from the dodgiest of dodgy deliberate calls by the umpire. The umpiring in the last quarter of the game was terrible overall. Both sides raped several times when play should just have been let go. Really ruins the flow of the game, which was pretty shit with the Eagles being incredibly inaccurate and should have won by a heap, but let the Docks get a few late goals to almost pinch it.
And then he was asleep, so put him to bed. But yeah, long story short, 2012 was a cracker. Really the last one we've had for a while, hope tomorrow is just as good. One thing I noticed with the 2010 game was the crowd seemed really silent. Wondering if it was just Seven's audio work or my non-surround sound TV not giving me the full effect. 2012 was roaring, though.
