At the end of an AFL season when the medals are awarded and a premiership flag is flying, it's easy to forget all the little moments that made up one grand, unpredictable year.
We've already covered some of our most memorable moments from earlier in the year, and now with the finals series concluded, we've taken a look back at the top 10 highlights in 2021.
Ruckmen aren't often lauded for their ability to kick match-winning goals, especially from the boundary, but Scott Lycett became the Adelaide Oval hero in Round 15 against the Swans.
Three-points up with two-minutes on the clock and a strong Sydney side trying to steal the win, Lycett threw the footy on his boot and kicked a mesmerising goal that sent the Port Adelaide crowd into an equal state of disbelief and amusement.
Anthony Hudson summarised it perfectly just moments after: "Ruckmen aren't supposed to do that!"
They're not, but Lycett did.
One-point finals wins are always memorable, especially when they come at the expense of your cross-town rivals.
The Giants and Swans were locked in an intense elimination-final fight, both desperate to advance and take on the Cats in the semi. The new kids on the block led for all of the second-half, but a late Swans surge put the newest Sydney team under pressure.
Six behinds in the latter half of the final quarter left the Swans ruing their chances. With just 1:20 seconds left on the clock, Justin McInerney dribbled the ball towards the goal, just metres away from becoming the hero, but a diving Harry Perryman punched the ball across the line and ensured his team walked off the ground one-point victors.
It's not exactly how players dream of winning a final for their team, but it got the Giants across the line.
Peter Wright's first year at the Bombers got off to a slow start, kicking just one goal in the opening five-rounds of the season, but the former Sun soon made his mark at Essendon, kicking a career-high seven-goals in an upset win over the Bulldogs in Round 21.
The Bombers started slow, but Wright's accurate goalkicking soon proved the matchwinner and kept the Bombers alive in the finals hunt.
Gary Rohan is no stranger to kicking goals, but his ice-cool demeanour after the siren in Round 14 delivered the Cats a much-needed win over the Bulldogs.
The top four-clash failed to deliver early, with just one-goal between the two-sides in the opening quarter, but Rohan's after the siren kick from 45m out became the 13th lead change of the night in what quickly became an unpredictable affair.
One-point down, Rohan took a strong mark with just 27 seconds left on the clock, the kick was never in doubt and although Kardinia Park was at reduced capacity, Chris Scott made enough noise in the coaches box for all 6000 of them.
Toby Greene is known to push the limits of the game, as the Giants superstar never backs away from a challenge, especially one from 60-metres out.
An unlikely after the siren kick, often attempted but rarely executed, sailed through with ease, drawing plaudits from commentators and fans alike.
While this game, tucked away in Cairns on a wet Saturday night, had little effect on the season as a whole, it did place the nail in St Kilda's finals coffin.
The Saints managed to gain a game-high 36-point lead in the early moments of the second-half before failing to put a stop to Adelaide's raging momentum. The Crows managed to kick the last seven-goals of the match, including the match-winner from a first-year star.
With less than a minute on the clock and his team down by a point, Riley Thilthorpe managed to kick the ball over his head and sail it through the goals, securing an epic comeback win.
In a rare prime-time appearance, the Saints choked and the Crows celebrated, and the two clubs went into the bye with very different memories of their time in North Queensland.
Taylor Walker has kicked 489-goals throughout his illustrious career, but his final major in Adelaide's Round 10 match against Melbourne might be one of his most memorable.
The undefeated Demons seemed to have another win pencilled in as the fourth-quarter drew to a close, up by 16-points thanks to a Clayton Oliver goal. The Crows came back, riding a final quarter surge until the ball landed in the hands of former captain Tex, who kicked truly in the final minute of the game and gave the Adelaide Oval crowd an underdog win for the ages.
The assumed wooden spooners up against the would-be premiers, an unassuming match delivering a nail-biting finish worthy of ending an 11-game winning streak.
The result of the Round 23 match between the Lions and Eagles was never in doubt, as the final minutes approached, but the Brisbane crowd remained on the edge of their seats.
Nonetheless, a different kind of game emerged in the hunt for that rare double-chance come September.
In the dying seconds of the match, after kicking five-straight goals in the final quarter, the Lions still needed a crucial 0.1% to secure a top-four place.
Enter Lincoln McCarthy.
The 27-year-old's snap produced just one point, but it was enough to get the Lions over the line. The Eagles, despite having their own place in finals on the line, didn't seem to have the same fight when the game was up for grabs, much to the benefit of live ladder enthusiasts around the country.
Bailey Smith had ice in his veins when he drilled a left-foot goal home with two-minutes remaining on the clock in a highly contested semi-final matchup against the Lions.
The game was one of momentum, and Smith seemed to have capitalised on it when he broke the deadlock and put his team six points up, in reach of the prelims. The Lions bounced back through Zac Bailey just 45 seconds later, before Laitham Vandermeer sent Brisbane tumbling out of finals with a game-winning behind.
What was seemingly the match-winner from Smith turned out to be the third last score of the game, but it was one of the most memorable. In the face of a loud Gabba crowd, Smith turned the heat back on the hosts, producing one of the most memorable semi-finals in recent years.
Round 23 continued to deliver, with the minor premiership still undecided going into the final weekend of the home and away season.
Melbourne, arguably the best team all season, just had to win and the illustrious minor premiers title that had eluded them since 1964 was theirs. Geelong seemed determined to keep the unfortunate streak in place, storming to a 44-point lead midway through the third quarter, but a six-goal to none last quarter was how Melbourne wanted to warm up for finals.
With 17-seconds left and two-points the difference, who else but captain Max Gawn to take a mark and kick truly after the siren to produce the moment of the season.
