Need help / suggestions.

Trying to put together some football highlight videos for Youtube.

One of them will be the top 40 MFC goals ever, maybe even a top 50.

I have got a collection together but I don't want to miss any really memorable goals.

So need suggestions, just to make sure I haven't missed any.

Any player, any era.

To maybe help narrow down suggestions, I already have the obvious ones, eg Farmer GOTY 1998, the Liam Jurrah sitting on his butt snap against Freo 2009. Woewodin vs Port 1998, Oliver 3 weeks ago in Adelaide.

I won't list them all, but happy for you guys to throw any suggestion out there.

    Wonnameri in the goalsquare against Freo at the MCG, putting the Dees in front after trailing by 50 points.  I was at that game. 

    Gary Lyon kicked a 70m torp in the early 90's (I think).

    Travis Johnstone, 2nd semi-final in Adelaide v Crows, streaming down the boundary on forwqrd flank, goaled from 50m.

    Off the top of my head:

    Flash's running goal and Yze's boundary goal from the comeback against Freo in 08

    Schwarz's baulk in the 94 finals

    The goal kicked in the 04 demolition of the Blues in 04 (Davey or Bruce?) after two blues ran into each other

    Neita's goal against the Hawks in 02 after flattening McCabe

    Jakovich's scissor goal from 91

    Leoncelli's winning goal against the Crows in 01

    Farmer's big goal from the goalsquare in the Semi against the Saints in 98

    Two candidates. Saw both. Incomparable.

    Hassa Mann's goal from the boundary at Glenferrie Oval to secure top position in 1964 finals.

    Neil "Froggy" Crompton's goal in the last minutes of the 1964 Grand Final. Our last premiership.

    Nothing else comes close except for Robbie's last goal against Sydney in the semi finals in 1987.

    Jeff White’s against the Bulldogs to send us into the finals series. Loved that one.

    From memory, 1989 Princess Park in the mud v Hawks - GF replay. Kicked from 55m-58m mark, sailed through. Heavy track. I think just before or on qtr time siren.

    No. 1 has to be Froggy's goal to win the 64 Granny.

    My favourite, and I was 2 at the time and not even there, was Brian Wilson's running goal that was the sealer in Rnd 22, 1987. "Cover yourself in glory". 

    Gazza kicked a torp from the centre square in the 88 prelim against Carlton. 

    The wiz would have 30 out of 50.

    There's also the massive torp he kicked from inside the centre square at Waverley against Carlton in the '88 Prelim (last passage on this clip), and this beauty against Fremantle at the 'G, also from inside the centre square. 

    Others worth a mention: Lyon again, kicking the winner against West Coast in the '88 Elimination (end of this clip), and Todd Viney from the boundary line in the opening seconds of the '87 Elimination. 

    Also like this one from Schwarz. 

    But the goal from Robbie at the 1.50 mark of this video is one of the best I've ever seen from an MFC player.

    Also 1988 prelim vs Carlton kicked one from the centre square at Waverley

    Garry Lyon 88 Elimination Final vs WCE to pinch the game is another 

    Edit - just saw the above posts

    Been drinkin so nothing concrete, but I'd like to see Weaters smashing one from 65m on the run and surely Flash in his early days kicked a beauty?

    Was against the blues IIRC.

    Wet day with a muddy ball.

    Then he slotted one from the centre square with a new ball.

    I can't remember the full set of circumstances but Travis Johnstone kicked an absolute beauty against Adelaide in the 2002 finals.

    Aaron Davey selling some candy twice to Freo and nailing it from outside 50 in our massive come from behind win at the G is another.

    Was definitely against the Hawks on a bogheap at Princes Park, Queens Bday 1989. I was at that game sitting up the top of the stands with my dad and I've got the game on DVD.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
