A list of 100 matches has been curated and now fans can vote for their top five favourites. Voting opens at 5pm EDT on Thursday April 2 and closes at 8pm EST on Tuesday April 7.

Gee they really like shaming the Richmond of 2000 onwards don't they?
McCartney's return game from burns, Losing to GC with Hunt's goal, Carlton beating us in the finals etc.
Funny how they omit beating Adelaide in the 2017 GF despite huge underdogs!

Good list :clapping.
Some others (even obscure):
R4 vs Port 2019 ..... close win interstate against the odds with a young side.
R23 vs Syd 2014 ..... hung on to win to get into the finals. Rance huge.
R10 vs StK 2012 ..... Friday night shootout. First signs of our current core group winning in primetime.
R5 vs North 2011 .... A young Dusty, Cotch and Jack get us over the line in the last.
R9 vs Bris 2005 ..... Nathan Brown's last full pre-leg game at his peak. Beat 4-GF Brisbane side @ Gabba.
R17 vs Dogs 2001 .... The "every dog has its day" revenge game.
R15 vs Ess 1995 .... The drawn game.
R3 vs Haw 1995 .... Our first win over Hawthorn in 10 years in the wet at Waverley.
Mid 1994 .............. three thrillers won in a month against North, Adelaide & Dogs.
R12 vs Carl 1988 ... The Chris Pym game. Last beats first upset on a Friday night.
R1 vs North 1982 .... Maurice Rioli stars.
R13-14 1980 .......... close back-to-back wins over Essendon & Collingwood.
R7 vs Ess 1974 ....... Windy Hill brawl. People forget about the game which was close.
