Join us this week as we take a look back at all the best Round 18 moments throughout AFL/VFL history.
In 1982, Leigh Matthews was renowned as one of the most powerful players in the competition and proved it during the Round 18 competitions at Windy Hill – bringing down the Boundary Line goal post after the AFL’s Player of the Century went back with the flight of the football.
In 1981, Adelaide led at every interchange over the Sydney Swans at Football Park, but the Crows paid the price for their woeful inaccuracy around goals. The Swans, led by Barry Mitchell, stormed home.
Twenty-eight years later and it’d be St. Kilda and the Swannies battling it out in front of a boisterous crowd at the SCG, as the red and white army threatened the become first AFL team to beat the Saints for the first time in 2009. But a late score by Leigh Montana score the home side snatch the victory in the dying stages of the match, the Swans keeping in tact their undefeated streak.
