AFL Club
Richmond
Carlton - WCE Subiaco 1995
Richmond Hawks - 1994 (Pissing down all day - Richmond kicked 4 goals - and won. Hawks fans probably list this among their worst days - as I would have if Richmond had lost).
Any Victorian SOO game from the 1980s - against either WA or SA. All great games.
2018 GF - good game.
Richmond Hawthorn 1970 - I was 9, Hart kicked 6, Hudson kicked 8, Richmond won by a goal. Great day.
Port Adelaide - Adelaide 2013. Good game for a neutral. Monfries bounce to top it off.

That'll do for now.

10. Round 11, 1985 Kangas v Hawks. My first VFL game. i was 8, brothers were 6 and 4. Was a draw 113-113. Not many people can say that!
9. Round 22, 1991 Bombers v Carlton. Terry Daniher's 300th. Won by 4 points. I loved TD.
8. Round 15, 1987 Eagles v Bombers. We were halfway through a WA holiday. Salmon kicked 11 in a BOG effort.
7. Round 14, 1988 Bears v Saints. Part of Expo 88 holiday - Capper got 5 against a Lockett-less Saints. Met Dick Reynolds. Dad chatted to him for an hour!
6. Round 11, 1996 Bombers v Dockers. Won by a point thanks to Hirdy's performance. 10 marks in ****house conditions and numerous score assists
5. Round 13, 1993 Saints v Fitzroy. Lynchy had a good first half on him but Plugger kicked 6 in the second half to finish with 8 straight. Legend!!!
4. Round 15, 1989 Bombers v Eagles. 25.10 to 1.12 - Was glorious! Timmy Watson and TD had leather poisoning!
3. Round 9, 2018 Lions v Hawks. After starting 0-8 Lions finally get a win. Crowd went nuts. Mitchell had 46 and at least 25% were clangers.
2. Round 15, 1996 Tigers v Demons. Neitz kicked 7.0 out of 12.9 but Richo's 6 & Daffy's 4 get the Tigers home. Caught the ball behind the goals twice!
1. Round 15, 1995 Bombers v Tigers. Friday night. 76k. Was a draw 101-101 and again it was all Hirdy who kept the Bombers in it (23 and 5 goals)
