What’s your favourite GOAL from the Grand Final?

Sparrows one stepper from 50. Not for his goal so much but for Tommy Mac grabbing Cordy 5m from the goal line and pushing him back, back and finally giving him airtime 3m over the line. That show of force summed up what we did to the Bulldogs for the rest of the night

absolutely. Jordan Lewis remarked that those actions, when you’re having a quiet game, make all the difference. If TMac doesn’t overpower Cordy, then no goal and the clock runs out for 3/4 time. 

 

i think it was TMac who got a  crucial hand into the marking contest that set up Trac’s brilliant dribbler.

Been mentioned a lot already but Clarry's goal might be the single most hype moment in MFC history.

 

The last of 3 goals within the last minute of the 3rd.

The visual of watching Jackson, Viney and Clarry stream towards goal unimpeded like a red and blue tidal wave.

The pinpoint handball from the future of the club, to the present.

The full-speed shot on goal that sails directly over the goal umpire's hat.

The slow-mo point from Clarry and the elation of Dogga and Sparrow trying to catch him - what an iconic piece of vision.

The burial of 57 years of history, and probably the apex of one of the most dominant periods in any football game.

And the cherry on top, the shot of Treloar and English in the centre square looking like they've been slapped across the face with a dead fish, unable to comprehend what the F is happening.

 

What an incredible moment from an incredible game.

lots of great goals in the gf but i would opt for clarries. not because it was the most spectacular or difficult but just because it was absolute perfection and exactly how any team would strife to score.

straight from the centre bounce, straight down the centre line and straight through the big sticks, all in seconds

efficiency and power ........ perfection

Kozzie on Dunkley .

If that didn't win Choco's one percenter for the day I' d be amazed 

Add Kozzie's 2 tackles to spill the ball to Bowey who then passed to Brayshaw and we know the rest. Priceless harassment.

Kozzie's perfect pick up, evading tackle and then spot on pass to Fritsch on the boundary who then passed to the running machine Langdon and we known the rest.

At least three goals from great contributions from Kozzie.

[Fritta and Turner 4,142]

Favourite - Sparrow

Important - Fritta 1st of the 3rd

Exciting - Fritta 2nd of the 3rd

Extraordinary - Tracca dribbler

Unbelievable - Brayshaw - only hit 2 targets by foot and this was one of them

Professional - TMc - last goal

Wtf - Gawn

I know, I know, it’s like having to pick your favourite child. But if you had to choose one goal, which would it be?

For mine, 3rd quarter, Tom Sparrow’s huge kick from barely off a step. And his pumped-up celebration afterwards. 

Oliver’s.

was the moment in the game, when I realised we would win. 
 

Bang.

Bang Bang Bang

Interesting you say that, I have posted elsewhere that kozzie did 3 defensive actions leading to Spargos first goal  , brayshaws goal and this goal. In the helter skelter of the 3rd quarter and google ads , I didnt  pickup kossies actions live . Only when I watched the replays did I pick it up.

I listened to footyolgy podacast with rohan and finey , last night . It was recorded live after the game. Finey made the observation ( and others did to ) that kozzie had a bad game  because he had 4 kicks only . I say kossies 2 efforts in the 3rd quarter led to 2 vital goals when the pressure was on . Every goal after the first 2 goals in last quarter was icing on the cake . The rubber band had broken , dees were pumped and doggies were gone mentally.

In fairness it is always challenging to see and value defensive efforts when watching on tv. 

But, anyone who says kozzie had a poor game, doesn’t understand his role or value to the team. 

Kozzy, well and truly did his job, despite what the stats sheet says

Oliver's goal was unbelievably.

I cannot believe that some on here are saying it was a great call.

It was atrocious. Imagine our international viewers listening to the garbage served up. Embarrassing.

 

And Olivers goal first.

Frittas launch and recovery second.

Trac third.

Who cares about international viewers? It's their great misfortune to not be in oz for our footy.

It's our game, our expressions and our premiership. After 57 years nothing can be over the top or embarrassing..

Fully agree - it was a beauty. It was also protected by TMac in the goal square at the goal line, the epitome of teamwork at its best. That kick nailed it - destroyed the Doggies' backs (who thought that it was covered for a tapped point score).

I am not sure where this started or where it's going but let's just  say that BT is worse than  either Harry Beitzal or Rex Hunt .

Commentators have use by dates even when start out as a fresh take on the game,.

We tire of them but the boys club keeps them until they go to jail or get sprung in a lane with their pants down.

But BT?

Commentates of pre prepared cheats sheets and still gets  most things wrong!

I also believe Tmac did his role and Charlie all contributed. Hibbo similarly and all the defenders except Salo kept a tight rein on the Dogs forwards. 
Figures for some defenders weren't high but hey we kept the Dogs dangerous forwards tightly undercontrol and the mids caused us a slight problem but overall 16 shots for goal and only 3.1 in the second half was match saving footy.

Nothing less than what our defence had done all year. Magnificent and elite with all contributing and Maysie proving he not only talks but he walks the walk very very competitively. A real hero's game with Naughton taking marks with all being well outside his distance. We other than our second quarter lapse played the game on our defences terms especially the first half of the third term. So much of the ball to the Dogs for so little result. Then we took or chances and bang bang bang. 
Result 🏆❤️💙🍾

Salo was third or fourth best on ground and was magnificent with 96% disposal !!!

It was great to hear Dennis Cometti's commentary on Triple M, So accurate and precise and he definitely has a soft spot for Melbourne. 

[640MD 3,290]

For me its the whole 3rd quarter, The bullies had given up in the last. But especially that 9 and half minutes, will stay with me,

And the look on their mids faces walking back to the centre.   What has happened !!

[4_Kent_Watts 855]

Langdons was my favorite because that's the one that brought the first tears. Now after watching the Replay so many times, Bontempelli's 3rd is the one that brings the biggest smile and is now my favorite.

I dont think BT is up to it anymore.  Doing the GF is too long a day.  His last quarter call was just a mangle of broken sentences - he was shot.

[Uncle Fester 2,843]

Re two above-

Kozzie without a touch is still worth ten. He’s hard at it off the ball, and any defender around him is second and third guessing themselves when he’s around. Perceived pressure leads to hurried disposal, which leads to more pressure etc etc until the ball is turned over. 
Flash was great at that. Sometimes he only had to be in the vicinity to cause trouble. Kozzie has the same gift

He killed the ball for the Trac. Perfect set-up.

This deserves a thread of its own: Who are the ten posters that faultydet wouldn't place on ignore?

I expect I'm in the ignore group.

So we destroyed the Dogs AND BT. A fair day's work. Who knows what we could have achieved if the AFL hadn't stopped the game after 2 1/2 hours.
