The 2022 AFL season provided us with multitudinous memorable contests, throughout both the home-and-away season and the finals series.

Thrilling, edge-of-the-seat blockbusters were the norm, with one of the stories of the season being Collingwood's consistent nerves of steel in clutch time.

So, we've accepted the challenge of identifying the very best of those noteworthy games, selecting and ranking what we believe were the top 10 games of season 2022.

8. Richmond vs. Brisbane Lions -- MCG, Round 20

The Tigers and Lions, who have clashed in a number of important games in recent seasons, did battle at the home of football in Round 20, with finals implications aplenty for the yellow and black.

Much to the distress of the Richmond faithful, Brisbane dominated from the outset, building as much as a 42-point lead in the second quarter, in large part due to Keidean Coleman's instrumental first half (20 disposals at 73% efficiency), and looking likely to leave with four points.

However, the Tigers, buoyed by emerging forward Noah Cumberland's five goals, surged in the second half and ensured Brisbane's MCG woes continued, sneaking home by seven points.
