Garry Lyon's goal against the Meth Coast in '88 at waverley was pretty dam good!!

yes, as was his massive torp against Carlscum two weeks later in the Prelim.

was from inside the centre square if you don't mind !

Neitz after he mangled Luke McCabe's shoulder.

Travis Johnstone in the granny after Whelan smashed Hird.

And the one Yze kicked from the city end right pocket, left foot checkside from the boundary that is probably the highest degree of difficulty I've ever seen.

That goal McLean kicked in the final V StKilda I went pretty mental.

That was an Elim final in 04.

Sadly Wheels wasn't in the GF. Poor guy.

Poor us. We'd have won...

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.

That's the winner.

If i recall, didn't Green have a clear paddock in front of him - when the siren went.?

You're thinking of the Brisbane game a few weeks later.

Up by a point, 37 minute mark of the last quarter.

Ball trapped in the BL forward line - spilt out to Aussie who motored away, took a few bounces, and hand balled to Green.

The siren sounded, Green banged home the "goal" and ran to the crowd to celebrate. Fun moment. Mediocre in the greater scheme (geez this club has sucked the fun out of it!)

Jack Watts vs Richmond 2011, sucks it out of the pack, and snaps it over the shoulder! WHAT-A-GOAL!

Cam Bruce vs. Carlton Qualifying Final 2000. I knew at that point we were home. Still the greatest Melbourne game I have seen.

It was a ripper. I thought the old smokers stand was going to take off that afternoon. So much pent up energy released...thank God Aaron Hammill knocked himself out. Without that happening Carlscum would have won.

Of course! Brain fade, I wasn't even at the granny... Memory must be slippin'.

Davey at 59:00 and 107:00... Thats what we've missed from him

Even though this was to get us within 30 points....Mitch Clark QB 2012. The only time this year when I felt as though we were in the game against one of the better teams of the comp at the poiny end and heard a crowd roar the way it should!

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...

To add to those 2006: Neitz goal on the turn QB

2011: All 2nd half goals vs Essendon

2007: Neitz goal from like 60 drop punt against Crows for our 1st win? for the year from memory

Posted

Round 1, 2002 v Hawthorn.

Neitz irons out McCabe, collects the pill, turns and drills a ripper. I pitched a tent.

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.

As soon as I saw this thread title I thought of this.

Nice story: I brought along a lukewarm supporter to this match in 05 and since Jeff White kicked that goal, he's come nearly every week to the G; and is pretty fanatical these days!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
