The Demond had 3 nominations for Goal of the Year during the year. 
 

Round 11 Kozzy Pickett for his twist and juggling and snap goal versus the Roos

Round 12 Jake Melksham for his quick reaction soccer goal from 12 metres out v Pies 

Round 14 Christian Petracca for his “mark” twist and strength to turn and kick whilst being jumped on from 25 metres out v Saints (the match winner). It won the weekly Best goal. 
 

I still reckon Trent Rivers left foot spiral kick v Giants in round 17 was a beauty and so important to win it.  The small crowd went crazy. 
 

Other nominations ????

    I initially had Harley for the emotion behind it... but as things now stand..etc etc.

    @spirit of norm smith I concur re: Trent Rivers goal as well. 

    And Trac's against the Saints.

    Did Oliver not kick one not dissimilar to his a few years ago re: Adelaide?

    I'll throw in Trac's against GWS. The one hand pickup in traffic. Two or three steps into a 40m snap. Pure Power.

    Charlie Spargo up front and centre crumb goal from the top of the goal square vs pies.

    Only because it's the only crumbing goal I can remember and we need substantially more of these to have a decent crack at a flag.

    Agree. End of the first quarter. It had a real stamp of authority. The way Trac picked it up and burst clear and slotted it from a tight angle about 40 metres out. First class ??

    Another Trac Nomination.  (#6)

    I remember another excellent long range Trac goal v Suns in Round 6. 

    Two minutes left and we were 5 points up. Oliver was actually composed and found Trac 50 metres out.  
    Trac kicks it 60 metres straight through the middle and into the stand.  Seals the game.

    Tracs goal against the Saints that made it across the line by a bees diaphragm .

    or Trent Rivers exciting snap against GWS.

    I think I jumped higher with Trents goal so that just wins for me.

    Trac let go with a number of big roosts from outside 50 this year and they pretty much always looked like going through right off the boot.  I recall one against the Saints, another against Essendon and possibly one on the run against North.

    Such a weapon and an absolute pleasure to watch.

    ANB’s goal in the final round was a good one too 

    From memory he kicked a couple of pearlers that day.

    One hard up on the boundary early in the game when he bent it back through perfectly and that other one where he picked up the bouncing ball headding into oncoming traffic and then slotted it straight through.

    Trac's goal vs St Kilda that only just made it through was pretty sweet given how many times the Saints have done us in. Also loved his power, pick up, and finish goal vs GWS; pure class.

    That was a beauty ... very unMelbournian combination of second effort and team set up.

    That goal was ridiculous and gets my vote.

    yes Oliver kicked a beauty v Kangas. Last minute goal.  
    Banana from the pocket but less exciting as we were already 9 goals up and no crowd.

    I agree Trac’s best this year are awesome.  
     

    v GWS - the pickup on the run and kick from 45 metres on a tight angle 

    v Kangas - the spoil, the run and burst and kick from 55 metres 

    v Blues  - Huge goal, contested mark v Newnes on 60 metres out and to burst clear and kick it from 55 out 


    v Hawks - contested mark v Sicily and then the goal from 50 metres out 

    v Saints  1.  the match winning goal beating 3 Saints  and kicking it whilst being held. 2.  The first goal from 55 metres out

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
