Oliver's at the end of the third. Jackson runs in looking like he got that bike for Christmas that he asked Santa for but thought he wouldn't get. The Sparrow runs in looking like his lost puppy has come back home. Sheer joy!

Sparrow is an unbelievable cheerleader on the ground.  He jumps in the air and just loves seeing a team mate do something great. 

Watch his celebration after max's running goal in the Prelim I think.

But i can think of 4 or 5 you could argue.

It's a terrible thing, haggling over which of 4 or 5 awesome goals is the best one in a grand final demolition job for the ages.

GO DEMONS!!!!!

The best goal was the one the players set for themselves before the start of the season top 4 finish, to make the grand final and win the 13th premiership for the MFC.

The goals are individual efforts in games only get the results that you want to achieve during the season but team goals are the best.

[Cheesy D. Pun 1,762]

Gus' goal was exceptional as were both of Trac's goals but the Clarry goal with 15 seconds to go in the 3rd felt like a nail in the coffin for the Doggies.

Coming back from the humiliation of three goals in 30 seconds felt impossible to me and I celebrated accordingly.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,760]

It's a good question and one I've thought about a lot. For me, these three are very hard to split but are the clear standouts from the 21 we kicked or whatever it was.

1. Petracca. Capping off arguably the most dominant individual GF quarter in history with THAT. Get outta here. (Little did I know he still had a hand to play in another)

2. Oliver. Legitimately pondered the possibility I had died and was at the pearly white gates after this goal. And yet it's still only #2.

3. Fritsch's 4th. Was a bloody goal without any context, but add in the crowd noise, BT's commentary, Fritsch's celebration and the realisation we were back made it pretty special.

MIght be time for yet another rewatch of the 3rd quarter. 

[DemonWA 3,883]

I'll throw Benny Browns stong hands in the 3rd and early in the 4th into the mix. 

Nothing better in the game than seeing the big forwards clunking them and kicking truly 

[Dees_In_October 3,346]

Petracca. Just can't go past it for skill and execution under pressure.

But one that's grown on me in the re-watching is Sparrow's. That was one great kick, easily lost in everything that went on around it.

Also I really appreciate TMac's goal after the siren. Yes, pressure was off etc., but it still would have taken extreme concentration to put that through.

Picking the best goal is like picking your favourite child.

[KysaiahMessiah 725]

I (and my kids) will forever remember Nibblers to put us 42 points up.  Its when I started sobbing !

[DeeVoted 583]

er has to be "Froggy" Cromptons snap that turned out to be the match winner.

[Sir Why You Little 36,587]

Really hard to choose. But Fritsch’s first in the 3rd Q was huge. It was the beginning, it got the team fired. 
 

I said to my friends who were watching 

“we are back in this”

Clarry’s goal on 3/4 time was the sealer for me

i will never get tired of watching that 

But all 21 goals were superb….

[BDA 22,238]

Gotta be Trac's dribbler. Summed up the situation and executed perfectly. Sublime skill and footy IQ. And followed up with his beast mode stare. 

[Clayton van Oliver 1,797]

My favourite thread ever. So difficult to choose, but echoing a previous poster, TMac kicking our first goal as legit, official premiers in 56 years while his team mates were playing stacks-on 5 metres away. 

[BDA 22,238]

to be fair, we're very spoiled for choice. 

[loges 6,767]

No Titanic music yet ?

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,836]

Olivers goal for the surely not another factor and the perfect handball from LJ so he didnt need to break stride. Add his look after kicking it and then the look of the Dogs on all brigade post pretty much broke them there.

@AmsterdamDeesFan was responsible for the Mitch Hannan vid in 2018. Think he doesn't want to besmirch the glory of this year by doing it again. The song hasn't been written yet that can do this year's highlights justice. 

[BoBo 2,912]

I reckon we need a poll on this!!!

Mine has already been mentioned but it was Brayshaws goal to put us ahead. I think his running back and marking it leaving himself completely open to get a serious injury (even legally as Daniel had every right to go for the ball if he had been 1 second quicker to the contest) was the point where I knew we were going to win it. They were prepared to do anything and that mark required pure guts. Putting it straight through the middle like that, at that time of the game, to put is in front, pumped up the boys so much I felt. Hence the crazy last 38 seconds of the 3rd.

[faultydet 7,594]

For me it was easily Olivers goal.

That was the moment I knew we would win the flag.

I could watch it on loop until the day I die.

Trac’s 2nd. It seemed to dribble for an eternity for me, slow motion, and you could see instantly it was going in. I know these type of goals are second nature, but to do that so perfectly, in a grand final, game in the balance, with 57 years of pressure and being one of the main men… just ice cool. 
And Kozzie’s cameo adds some extra flavour. 

This.

How he made it look so easy is beyond me.

It also went directly through the middle.

[BDA 22,238]

so many to choose from. Best I watch them all again. A few times. gotta make an informed choice

[Maldonboy38 6,379]

Oliver's goal at the end of the 3rd quarter.

• The athletic team grunt, spread and skill of Jackson, Viney and Oliver
• I know many people despise the channel 7 commentary, but the "Bang: bang, bang, bang" call from James Brayshaw was breathtakingly perfect. I was up off the couch, roaring and fist pumping. Best moment of my footy watching life (apart from the raising of the cup by Goody and Max).
• The right arm pointing of Clarry with a look of "we are gods" written across his face. 
• And the look of absolute astonishment and frozen shock on the faces of Treloar and Bont as they tried to understand what the **** was going on. 

Close 2nd - Brayshaw. 

[bobby1554 1,230]

Oliver. The whole passage of play, Jackson’s follow up, the handball, Clarry just swallows it at full speed, then the kick which sails over the goal umpires head. And the reaction of the Bulldogs, as if to say “we can’t beat this mob”. It just highlighted how much better we are than any team going around. We finally went to that GEAR we all knew we had.

[4_Kent_Watts 856]

Personally I have Langdons goal as my favorite as it's the one that had me sobbing uncontrollably knowing for certain what I'd been waiting 50 years for was now a reality. 

[Jaded No More 67,609]

Oliver for me too because he’s my favourite player so I’m bias. But also it was the euphoria of that entire game summed up. Brutal perfection from the middle.
