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

    I like Tmacs, huge pressure, not known for his goal kicking, dying seconds of the game and slots it.  Then runs off to the defense rallying the troops as he goes.

    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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
