Top 50 Best AFL Games Since 2000

The top 50 best AFL games since 2000 in my opinion! Hope you enjoy

[jeffaustin]

Some recency bias but a decent list, round 14 2009 Saints v Cats, 2011 SF Eagles v Blues, round 16 Power v Crows (Phil Walsh showdown), round 10 2006 Cats v Eagles comeback game (a bigger comeback than the miracle on grass) the 2006 PF Crows v Eagles, the 2007 Cats v Pies PF, 2009 Saints v Dogs PF, 2010 Saints v Cats QF, 2014 Roos v Bombers EF and 2004 Power v Saints PF all really should have spots on this list ahead of regular but recent close home and away games

[pavementpounder]

As an Eagles fan, this shows how many close finals we've played over the years, including 2 GFs won by a combined total of 6 points.

The 2021 lions dogs semi was absolutely M E N T A L

[ramonecricket]

Just a couple of errors: the semi-final between West Coast and Collingwood was 2007, not 2005; and the prelim between Hawthorn and Adelaide was 2012 not 2013. Great video nonetheless, and I'd throw in that round 14 game in 2009 between St Kilda and Geelong as well.

[CARDMAN]

Saints vs Cats R14 2009 doesn't get a spot? Are you smoking the good stuff AL?

[burningghidorah]

2014 Elimination North vs Essendon deserves a spot on this list

[Jaspersharpe]

Number 1 was the most exciting game I’ve ever seen

I think that is all I can remember.

[ashleydyer]

Great list. A couple worth revisiting 2007 Ablett kicks a goal and the cassissi kicks the sealer in the two minutes. Top of the table clash... and 2002 Brisbane vs Port to decide minor premier - best game of that season... better than the grand final.

[Lukejaxx]

The round 3 showdown 2022 should be number 1 you cannot change my mind

[jacksonbyrne]

Pretty solid list, some notable exclusions, but everyone has different opinions!

[alistairdimmick]

Biased as a Melbourne supporter but the 2000 qualifying final could be in here. Carlton beat us by 98 points 2 months prior, and we came from behind in the last quarter thanks to two rookies, Brad Green and Cameron Bruce.

[hotkeyfooty]

Fair to say the greatest game of all time is easily 2001 R16 Ess vs NM.

[dontatme]

Round 3 showdown 2022 immensely stiff to not get a feature 😳 “ITS COMING BACK!!”

[Anonymo]

As a Port fan, Round 19 2017 vs St Kilda seems unlucky to miss as well as 2004 prelim, maybe 2020 prelim, Round 3 2022 Showdown and Phil Walsh showdown although understand its your opinion and am happy you didn't put some of them in lol

[seecucumber]

it felt like the same teams being in the videos

[SKIPPAFC]

Good video but non bias I would put Port Adelaide v Carlton 2013 up there

[pavementpounder]

Queens Birthday 2017 should be there. One of the loudest games I've ever been to as well.
