The noise. The colour. The drama. The VAR. The BLOODY VAR. The karate kick. The heartache. The Jets, 12 months after collecting the wooden spoon and playing in their first grand final in a decade, crashed to 1-0 loss to Victory. The feel good story of the A-League was unable to pen the final chapter. Victory's winner - a goal by Kosta Barbarouses in the 9th minute - should have been scrubbed out. Replays showed that Victory defender James Donachie was offside when he headed the ball across to the Kiwi but there was a malfunction with the system and the VAR did not over-rule.

A spine-tingling flyover by three F18 Hornets set the tone. A 10-man Jets outfit, spurred on by a raucous home crowd of 18,156, outgunned Sydney FC 2-1 in a famous win.

With teetotalling CEO Lawrie McKinna skolling a beer, the Jets faithful lobbed wooden spoons onto the ground.

4 - Preliminary Final, 2018, Jets 3 City 1

Oh my goodness! Oh my Goodness! With a flick of his right foot, Riley McGree sent a stadium into delirium, sent the Jets on the way to the grand final, and sent social media around the world into overdrive. Not bad for a moment the 19-year-old admitted was part improvisation, part luck and part gamble - but the scorpion kick will go down as one of the most breathtaking moments Australian football has seen.
