The goal you most went nuts over

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.

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!)

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.

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

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!

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
