Greatest / most memorable MFC goals ever

Good memories. 

Woey against Geelong in 2000 where he gathers on al fours gets up and slots it from 40.

Neita definitely played, Russian and Whelan missed after being injured in the St Kilda game. Smith came in as the 2nd ruck.

Well there you go, apologies I was at the game and for some reason thought he missed.

No worries. I actually just watched the highlights on YT and he kicked the goal to put us 16 points up in the 2nd with a young N. Jones getting the kick out of the centre. Feels like a lifetime ago:blink:

Remember one freakish soccer kick at the MCG by Sean Wight from 35 out. City end. Never saw it on video.

Others. Garry's torp in the Prelim vs Carlton.

Jakovich's scissor kick.

Farmer's at Waverley

Woey's vs Port Adelaide.

Jurrah's first at Docklands.

Neita's v McCabe/Hawthorn.

Trav's in the semi vs Adelaide

Todd Viney vs Sydney in Elimination Final.

Davey's volley vs Brisbane.

Awesome stuff guys.

I appreciate the responses, lots of goals I already had in the video, but quite a few have been added on the back of your suggestions, eg Lyon in 1988 Prelim

Keep the memories and suggestions coming


Mentioned it earlier, but does anyone else recall Koori Col Graham's massive torp at Moorabbin?

mid 70s 

Woey vs Port in 1998?  Around 0:32 in.

 

Robertson's right-angle bounce to get us into the finals in 2005.

Jeff White's goal to get us over the Dogs the week before.

Salem's goal to beat Essendon in 2014.

Oliver this year.

Jurrah off his back.

Wonaeamirri to take the lead against Fremantle.

 

1 that stands out for me is neitz on a Friday against geelong 2005 I think he marked 1 handed against Scarlett 50 outon boundary and went back and slotted it, crowd went berzerk as it was his 250th 

1992 against Hawthorn. Jako took a mark 50 metres out on a bad angle. Ran around the Hawk player on the mark - on the boundary line, mind you - and then slotted it through. To this day, I have never seen anything  like it. 


That 4th quarter against Carton was the best quarter of football I've seen Melbourne play. Sat right in the pocket had the best view of it

If someone made a highlight reel of all the goals in this thread they would become the greatest demonlander in history

Round 22 at the MCG. This goal will be in the video.

And the player he ran around on the mark, just an average defender by the name of Chris Langford.

It's on the way.


The one that sticks out for me was Brad Green taking a chest mark in the last quarter of a final v Carlton I think, in 00? It wasn't anything remarkable, it was just the context. These young guns were firing on all cylinders. Cam Bruce, Adem Yze etc. Just an avalanche of goals as we overran the opposition. It just seemed so unlikely that this young kid had come into the side and was beating his defender and kicking these pure straight goals. A very surreal experience that year with (Almost) everything clicking. 

Edit: FOund it!

Got any of Hoges Dom ?

Love all the memories and agree that there have been some beauties.

no one has mentioned Mark Jackson or Darren Bennet.Both were sometimes the only highlight in our season and kicked some amazing goals.

I'm surprised  Gerard Healy hasn't cracked a mention. I remember him kicking some absolute crackers. He was very good at running around the mark but also would rove off the pack or boundary throw ins in the FL.

I also have great memories of Neitz. Especially for big bombs from outside 50 that would sail through at half post height. 

Edited by Bitter but optimistic

My most memorable goal was Lyon out at Waverley in the 88 Elimination final vs West Coast. With about a minute to go, he picked up a hard ball from the deck, spun and kicked one from about 30m out and the ball went about 80m up. This put us 3 pts up, and the crowd we're going mental. Half the crowd were celebrating so hard that they failed to notice Wrenstead from WC running towards goal from the next centre bounce, only to miss his shot for a point. Siren goes, we win by 2 pts. I was knackered from all the emotions. That Lyon goal was a beauty, though, escpecially in the context of the game.

A new favourite...

Got me thinking:

Ricky Jackson snap to put us in front vs Footscray 1987 Round 22
Robbo left foot snap vs Essendon in the last round that put us into the finals in 2005

We lost the game but Peter Vardy and Adem Yze put through two running tight angle goals (both on the left I think) in the 2nd quarter of that psychotic final vs Adelaide in 2002

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
