I reckon if you look closely, you'll see the spin of the ball change as it goes past the post.  You can see it on the replays.  Deserves to be a goal for the sheer brilliance of it, but I have a sneaky suspicion that it might have shaved the post.

what you saw was an artifact caused by the guy operating the slow motion

i.e. it wasn't replayed at the same constant slow motion

watch it at normal speed

Watts for a lot of reasons.

Oliver's goal was a brilliant/fortunate snap that went through.

McDonald's was important in the context of the game but just reflex.

Hunt's was a wonderful long kick, special, but just one kick.

Watt's was different.  He ran 100m to receive.  He ran 50m with the ball.  He had the awareness to judge his position in relation to his opponents.  He steadied and kicked a very good goal from a tight angle when he must have been exhausted.  He had time to worry and choke but didn't.  Oliver and McDonald's were reflex.  Hunt's just one kick.  Watts had to do so much right and he did it when the pressure was at its maximum.  Clearly the best for me.

Also option 5 would have been Wattsy goal v Cats where he grabs the footy runs 15 metres and kicks it from 60 metres out to run it through.

Forgot about this one. Absolute ripper.

Definitely deserves a mention.

Watts stunning run and stirring goal vs the pies on QB to win us the game

100%  Give me a hard running, high pressure, considered, well executed goal over  flukey torps or banana/checkside any day of the week.  I hate that freakish, but flukish, goals more often than not win GOTY.  I like pure football

Some really nice goals to choose from. See running goals and boundary snaps semi regularly these day though.

My vote is for Hunts barrel from reasonably close to the boundary. Required pin point execution to achieve the combination of both distance and accuracy and would have the longest odds IMO.

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
