FSeptember is the ultimate test for any AFL footballer, where any team can win on any given day.

In the past decade, there have been a plethora of unbelievable finals results and performances, and we've managed to whittle them all down to a top five.

1. Western Bulldogs (16.11 107) def Hawthorn (12.12 84) - 2016 Semi Final

Although the grand final win was an amazing achievement from the underdogs, without this semi final triumph, it would never have happened.

After missing out on a preliminary final spot by one Isaac Smith kick, the Hawks were angry and hungry for a victory.

A loss in the qualifying final didn't stop Hawthorn from tasting premiership glory in 2015 and punters were comfortably expecting them to brush past the seventh placed Bulldogs.

Luke Beveridge and his group were rank outsiders despite beating West Coast in Perth a week before, with the Bulldogs winless in their past eight clashes with the Hawks. With Hawthorn pushing for a chance at a four-peat, the Bulldogs put on an electric second-half display, led by superstar midfielder Marcus Bontempelli, to win by 23 points and march on to a preliminary final against GWS - another game which could have featured on this list.
