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!

    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.

    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:

    “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.

    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.

    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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
