Each AFL club’s biggest ‘What If’ moment of the last 25 years

What has been each AFL club’s biggest ‘What If’ moment of the last 25 years?

On SEN Mornings, Julian De Stoop has been running the ‘Club Calibration’ segment which asks various footy questions to see how in sync each fanbase is.

First up was finding out the best win for each of the 18 clubs since the year 2000. Then we had the most traumatic loss.

We also took a look at the best individual player and most underrated player, and the best decisions and worst decisions made by each club.

Next on the agenda is your club’s ‘What If’ moment.

The below responses came through most frequently from SEN listeners.
