The goal you most went nuts over

Recommended Posts

I'm interested in, recent and ones before I was born, goals in which you simply went nuts over the most. It gave you a license to just simply go nuts and yell as loudly and wildly as you could.

I'm going to start of and say

Jeff white vs western bulldogs '05.

Needed to kick it to keep us in the finals race with just 1 game, and a couple of minutes to go. Talk about pressure! Miss it, you're out of the finals race , win and you're just about in.

I went buzzurk like no other goal.

#5 Froggie 1964 GF would surely have to be the greatest all time Demon goal, but of course dependent upon Hassa Mann's dying moments goal at Glenferrie Oval, without which we would have missed the finals altogether!

Cam Bruce in the dying stages of the 2000 QF was also pretty inspirational and left the Cheaters aghast

Ox just before half time in ?1994 ?QF, again vs the Cheaters was game turning

All of the above, plus the G. Lyon barrel in PF at Waverley 1988 - last happy footy moment of that year.

Also, the T. Viney opener at the start of the 1987 EF against North - our first finals goal since Froggie's, and the first of a torrent for the day.

2008 melb frem game where we came back from 50odd points down at half time, when we hit the front thanks to woneaemirri's goal in the dying minutes. never been so proud, was at the g that day, and the small crowd sounded like there were 100,000+ in the ground. (feel sorry for ther poor father and his son sitting in front of me who left at half time. he must have kicked himself)

[media=]

video is worth watching from about 44 minutes in.

Amen to that. I was 14 and I was getting worried because I wasnt used to watching Melbourne lose. At that moment I realised there was a god,he was a Demon, and to this day I walk into the G expecting (deep down) that the redlegs will win. Sadly though my faith is waining,I have a buddhist worldview now and the noble truth of suffering looms large......Time for another one please.......Watts from the members wing boundary after 3 bounces would do it I reckon

Jakovich Scissor Kick Firstly at number one...you just cant do that from how ever far out it was...its just insanity & genious!

Woeys MCG run goal from half back raised the hair a bit on my back also..

Garry Lyon kicked some rippers over the years too many many classy goals from Gazza!

2000 Qualifying final Vs Carlton, come back from 30+ behind, Uze kicked it off the ground through the goal to put us in front.

Ball sails through the goals and onto my chest, pure ecstasy!

The entire second half of that match.

I don't know, even as a winless side with no hope, the second half was just...different. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Some that come to mind:

2012: Jones' banana goal against the Bombers. I fell to my knees in celebration - a great moment. To a lesser extend, Garland's goal in the goal square.

2011: Watts' goal against Richmond (false dawn? sign of the future?)

Moloney's goal against the Bombers on the run from 55.

2010: Aussie's and Jurrah's goals against the Swans and Hawks.

2009: Jordan McMahon?

2008: Davey's and Wonaeamirri's goals against the Dockers

Miller's mark and goal at the 36 minute mark against the Lions

2007: Robbo's 7th after the siren against the Pies on QB

2006: Davey's goal against the Cats in round 6

Mclean's goal in the Elimination Final

Bruce's goal against the Swans

Neitz dobbing a heap from outside 50 against the Saints

Yze's goal against the Pies QB

2005: White's goal against the Dogs

Robbo's goals against the Cats and Bombers

Yze's goal against the Bombers to start the season

2004: Vardy in the wet against the Dockers

Johnstone's goal against the Bombers in the EF

2003: -

2002: Jonhstone/Yze against the Crows

Neitz's rampage against the Lions

2001: Leoncelli's goal against the Crows

2000: Woey against the Cats

Yze/Green/Bruce/Leoncelli against the Blues

Farmer against the Pies/Dockers/Roos

1999: (This was actually a point) Robbo against the Hawks

1998: Tingay against the Eagles

Farmer vs the Hawks

Lyon vs the Crows

All very fun moments at the time, yet looking back they're all pretty mediocre memories in the greater scheme of the game. Although, after a few wins I'll no doubt look back with utter joy...

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
