While off-field transformations in the game have influenced many of our discussions, it is the footy that brought us here to start with. Due to the sheer volume of heart-stopping finishes - throughout both the freakishly even home and away season and the finals series - many of these live deep in the memory as era-defining.
In 1993, Rohan Connolly had one of the best jobs in football. With the bulk of AFL games still played on Saturdays, there was no better paper to write for than the Sunday AGE. Already a ten-year veteran on the football writing beat, Rohan had a box seat to draft the first cut of history in this unforgettable season.
As a man who loves a list more than most, there is nobody better than Rohan to help us determine our top ten games from The Greatest Season That Was, 1993.
The Greatest Season That Was: 93 documents our contention that in 1993, footy was never better. Hosted by Adam Collins, Dan Brettig and Shannon Gill, this series is an in-depth exploration of one amazing season.
The Greatest Season That Was: 93 is produced by Jay Mueller and edited by Thom Lion. Check out Bad Producer Productions for more podcasts.
