The one rule is that Grand Finals cannot be included.

The below responses came through most frequently from SEN listeners.

Easily 2017 QF against Geelong by a l9ng way

And round 17 2001 against the Bulldogs at Telstra Dome as it was called back then. Our best win under Danny Frawley

The 2017 final against Geelong was when we arrived. We finally embraced the expectations and performed on the big stage, was crazy to witness.

Another that sticks out is round 4 2019. Went to port missing 4 or 5 of our best players and came back with the win.

Also rd 22 2019, eagles at the G. Great come back after they got the jump on us. If I recall correctly it started raining and we really took it to them.


2019 almost trumps 2017 for me.

That win in the wet vs Eagles who were reigning premiers. They torched us in that first qtr and we slowly reeled them in. Pulsating last qtr and Jack kicked the winning goal.
That was the moment I felt we’d arrived as a champion team.

It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

Great one.

I'm thinking the Brisbane game where Bowden kicked 4-5.

Sydney game where Collins kicked 3.

Another Brisbane game come from behind I think 22-23 down by about 50 around half time.

All the geelol finals from 17-20 lmao bunnies

Hard to not choose finals. They all mean so much. 2017 QF was enormous. Nearly cried when Butler kicked a goal to put us 40 points up. Sunk in that'd we final won a final.

Against the grain of finals.
2019 away to Port. Been an awful ground for us and we had no Rance, Jack, Cotch and Dusty was suspended. We were under pump from missing 2018 GF when we were best team in it. Think we may have been 1-3 at that stage. We were told no big 4 no Tiges and we beat a very good Port side away.

Beating Eagles at the G in the wet, either 2017 or 2019 can't recall. But it was a crucial win for top 4 from memory and was a cracker game.

McMahon goal after siren and got us Dusty.

Lloyd kick after the siren.

Really any Round 1 win beating the filth. Loved all the Dream time wins. Beating Essendon is wonderful.

Beating Sydney in 2015 I think, last round to make finals and was something like 6-7 on the trot and came from nowhere to finish in top 8, before getting beaten in finals.

Wish it was 30 years lol
Will never forget the atmosphere at the G when we came back to beat the bombers in that semi

So many great moments in that match

Knights goals

So many more
