Sydney superstar Lance Franklin has featured twice on the list of 30 already, both from his Hawthorn days, for the game-winning goal just before the siren against Adelaide in 2007, and for the mesmerising dribbler that almost helped the Hawks pull off a stunning upset against Collingwood in 2011.

Daniel Chick featured for his awesome smother that allowed Adam Hunter to seal the premiership for West Coast in 2006.

We came up with a preliminary list of 50 moments, then let you vote on which were your favourites.

Who will take out No.1? Will it be Wayne Harmes' controversial knock back into play late in the 1979 decider, helping Carlton overcome arch-rival Collingwood?

What about the most famous toe poke the game has seen, when Matthew Scarlett put the ball perfectly into Gary Ablett's path in 2009? 

Or will the Magpie Army rally behind Heath Shaw for his stunning chasedown to smother what seemed an almost certain Nick Riewoldt goal in the 2011 Grand Final replay? 

Check back in everyday to see the magic moments, leading up September 30, when No.1 will be released.
