Footy fans are more blessed than any other in the world of sport.
No sport combines such astonishing physical feats with such chills of euphoria, heartbreak, and everything in between the way Aussie Rules does.
A simple kick through the big sticks can swing the mood of fanbases around the country for an entire week, while an Anzac Day speccy can drop the jaws of a nation for a fleeting moment.
2024 has already provided its fair share of thrilling plays, profound performances and memorable matches, this list will go through only a fraction of them during the season so far.
Here is our mid-year list of the top 10 moments of 2024...

- Round 5 (Carlton vs Adelaide)
Adelaide's first win of 2024 could not have come in more dramatic fashion.
15 lead-changes took place at Marvel Stadium on the day, with the Crows looking to finally notch a victory while Carlton pursued their first 5-0 start since 1995.
With 90 seconds left in the piece, the ball fell to the hands of the sub, super sub Sam Berry, who calmly stepped to the plate and slotted the go-ahead snap as fellow Crows flocked to celebrate.
