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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
