Has been mentioned in a previous thread but are the three successive Demon goals kicked in the last minute of the 3rd quarter:

00:51 Petracca

00:34 Sparrow

00:19 Oliver

Are these the quickest 3 goals in succession ever?

 

 

Just thinking the same thing. Watching the replay you think how could this happen? But it did.

Sometimes we can have 2 goals in 20 seconds when a goal scorer is flattened after kicking a goal. But this case was without umpire interference i.e. no free kicks involved. Has to be a record for a GF surely.

 

 

 

Just went into the AFL manual.

How to blow apart a Grand Final in 32 seconds.

 

I can't think of 3 goals happening quicker than that. 

We also kicked 3 goals in 1:38 or so in the third so I wonder if that would be up there in quickest 3 goals as well 

Could have been a 4th. Petracca was out the front of the restart/ball up. Bontempelli "just" made the tackle.


Both Kate Roffey and Trac have referenced the one goal a minute rule proliferated by Lee Mathews. He has said a few times he only felt comfortable as a coach (in the last few minutes) when there were less minutes available than the goals lead. I'm certain the Dogs players would have been looking at the clock in the 3rd and thinking, minute to go only down by 6pts. Lets go to the qtr time break and reset for the final qtr ...... BANG!!!  WTF?

Hugely demoralizing moment.

I looked at this too! 2 of the goals were set shots with the players taking the full 30 seconds (especially BBrown) if I recall correctly (might need to double check actually… so many goals!). So, taking out the run ups (which, yes nobody really does) we scored 3 goals in under 40 seconds twice, in the same quarter, in a Grand Final.

I still can’t really believe that happened!

We did have one goal that minute-the flag.

Is there anywhere you can search for this?

Just watched the replay of that minute for the 50th time.
After Clarry kicks his, when they pan onto Bontempelli and the bulldogs midfield group when they're headed back to the circle you can see in their body language they're beaten right there.
Bontempelli's doing the sums on the scoreboard and can't believe it.

I noticed Bontempelli's look of despair then too. A stark contrast to the look in Petracca's eye after he dobbed that classic banana dribbler!

spelling correction

Doesn't really matter if the timing's accurate or not. This game is already going into footy folklore for the MIGHTY DEMONS kicking 3 goals in a minute, twice in one quarter, in a GRAND FINAL.

It won't go down as one of the great GFs, but it will be ever memorable for the overwhelming blitzkrieg avalanche of devastation rained on the Dogs to blow them off the park. Can expect to see the 3rd quarter in future pre-GF "footy marathons".

GO DEMONS!!!!

There literally wasn’t any middle ground during the blitz. We’ve gone form 19 down and most thinking we’ve missed an opportunity to all of a sudden being 4 goals up at the last break. No time for biting nails and heart attacks. Extraordinary finish to a quarter.

Edited by Dee Zephyr

I believe the only ones to have gone close was us against the cats in the PF. We kicked 3 in quick succession during the third of that game as well.

As far as I can gather the fastest ever individual goal from a center bounce was 6 seconds when Riewoldt was awarded a 50m prior to the first bounce!

The instant and completely uninterrupted breakaway goals from a center bounce seem to range around 9 to 15 seconds. I assume that it has happened before at some point but even so, it would require both to be right at the pointy end of that scale when you consider there is always a couple of seconds after a goal before the all-clear and time stopping.

If there have been faster runs of three goals, it could only be by a few seconds.

 

With another odd goalkicking record in mind now - Tom McDonald must be the first person ever to kick a goal after the siren in a grand final from 45 meters out while 15 other guys were in a dry-humping pile about 5 meters to his left! :laugh:

Brilliant LG!

“They had about 16 stoppage goals, which is probably a record,” Hunter said.

“They [the clearances] did come out of the front a lot in the centre bounce. Even if you do lose the centre bounce, if you are able to force them back or wide, then that clearance probably doesn’t land at the top of the goal square. It is a lot easier to defend.

“Max Gawn probably grabbed it out of the ruck a fair few times which pretty much neutralises any of the midfielders and gets it going their way. As much as we can stop that, it will be good.” - Lachie Hunter, September 22.

Yikes.

Hunter is a grub. Happy he played a poor game. When he dropped the ball on the wing in the last quarter I literally lol’ed.

Got a lump in my throat that our Team could actually do that.

Mesmerising..


In that last 50 seconds of the 3rd quarter, we saw 2 of the best handballs ever by Demons that led to goals.

Viney falling over, handballs under enormous pressure to Tracc and the other, Jacko on the run, puts it in front of Clarry, running at full pace, who doesn’t need to break stride, for a brilliant goal on the run.

I will never forget those 2 handballs which in a big way helped win us a flag.

Bang Bang Bang. 
Former poster texted me “two chest shots and one to the head”

Cop that

I thought I was pumped up when Sparrow slammed his bomb.
Then lost my mind when Clarry kicked his.
 .



 

 

Until proven otherwise, I say yes, 3 goals in less than a minute in a grand final is the quickest 3 goals ever.

Check with Bruce's stats guru.

Agree Red, Jackson’s handball past Caleb Daniel to Oliver was just poetry.

  • 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.
