Comeback wins in AFL make for some of the best footy stories each season, creating feelgood - or feel bad - moments, depending on which side you are on.
Let's take a look at 10 of the biggest comebacks in the AFL era, which means any game played prior to 1990 is not included in this list.
Honourable Mentions
Some notable comebacks that just missed our Top 10 include:
2013 Elimination Final: Carlton defeats Richmond by 20-points after trailing by 32.
The Tigers looked close to their first finals win in 12 years, but a Blues six-goal last quarter wouldn't allow it.
Round 5, 2011: Gold Coast defeats Port Adelaide, after trailing by 40-points in the third quarter, to record their first AFL win.
1993 Preliminary Final: Essendon defeats Adelaide, after the Crows raced to a 42-point lead at half time. The Dons would kick 11 goals to two in the second half to win by 11-points.

Round 7, 2000: Showdown between Adelaide and Port Adelaide. The Crows came back from a 42-point deficit.
2018 Grand Final: West Coast won by five points in what many consider the best AFL Grand Final in recent memory, perhaps even the best overall game. Collingwood kicked the first five goals to lead by 29-points, but the Eagles fought back to win a close one.
So, now we get to our Top-10 comebacks of the AFL era.
5. Brisbane vs Geelong
Round 13, 2013: Brisbane 52-points down
'The Miracle on Grass'
Brisbane, 15th on the ladder, hosted second-placed Geelong at the GABBA, in a match that is considered by many, as the best comeback victory ever.
The early game script went how many expected, with the Cats racing out to a 52-point lead. At three-quarter time, the Lions were still down by 38-points, but in the final term, the tide changed.
Brisbane kicked seven goals to one, to trail by just a single point.
A mark on the siren by Ash McGrath, in his 200th game, meant it was up to him to tie or win the game.
McGrath would kick the goal from 55-metres out to give the Lions a five-point win.
The last time Brisbane defeated Geelong was round 13, 2013. Itโs a game better known as The Miracle on Grass.
