Gone in 40 seconds.

The last three goals of the quarter still amaze me and I must have watched them over fifty times.

Dees of old would so often concede a goal in the last minute of many quarters.

From the dogs perspective with the ball moving into our fwd line, dogs fans must have been thinking we need to hold on and not give up a goal.

But nobody thought of giving up three and especially the way it happened. 

Truly spectacular in any game but more so in a granny.

I wonder how many people went to get a beer or take a toilet break.

I reckon if I was at the ground, I would have snuck off to get a beer before others.

I'm pretty sure those goals just crushed the dogs spirits as four goals is not insurmountable. But we scored at will in the last.

I was dancing everywhere after those goals and I was sure the flag was ours.

Was everyone else convinced?

I remember being super anxious at 3qtr time of the GF, terrified that an early Dogs goal in the last would precipitate another momentum shift. So for me it was only after Brown's goal in the last that my nerves started to settle, and probably 2 goals more before I truly started relaxing.

I snuck off to the toilet after the Trac goal thinking that’ll be the last goal before 3/4 time and then mid stream I heard this roar. My pessimistic self thought it was a dogs goal. Then there was another. Didn’t miss that one.

[Demonland 65,486]

I used to always stress that a team would score a goal against us in the final minute particularly in close games but often attempted to take solace in the fact that it's virtually impossible to kick two in a minute despite my MFCSS (which is currently in remission) telling me that only the Dees (of old) could cough up two in a minute.

Now that I've seen that 3 in a minute is a very real possibility I don't think I can ever be truly comfortable at a football match ever again. 🤪

Yeah if I'm honest,  I probably felt the same. But still blown away from that spree.

Yep it obliterates the number of goals past the number of minutes win rule.

[Demon Disciple 11,020]

Going by the TV replay, Goody was up and about after Sparrows goal. I was pretty comfortable after that goal, and knew it was ours after Clarry lined his up moments later.

I'm sure it will go down in club history and probably AFL legend as the best minute of footy ever.

[WalkingCivilWar 32,083]

Wow, I must be the only ‘doubting Thomas’ around here. I was nowhere near relaxed at any of the above-mentioned points. I wasn’t even believing we were a cert to win after ANB’s goal which put us up by 42 points. It wasn’t until the next goal (Langers) that I entertained the thought that this could be it… that we can win this. Oh man, I still get excited just thinking about it.

Good old Mfcss.

I'm pretty sure there's not too many gfs were lost with a five six goal lead in the last.

But I know where your coming from.

The 3aw commentator was the same and would call it either.

I’ve had diehard Collingwood and Essendon fans and even Geelong fans (friends) say that that last minute of the third is hands down THE best football they’ve ever seen, by any team, at any time, ever. Ever. ❤️💙

[WalkingCivilWar 32,083]

I saw a guy at the premiership event last week who was wearing a blue T-shirt with large red lettering that said:

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

He told me he made it himself. I hope there’s no copyright issue as I wanna make one myself. 😁

That effort put an end to Leigh Matthews’ old maxim about goals behind > minutes remaining equals sure defeat. That is if your 3 goals down with less than 3 min to go you are stuffed. Not anymore it seems.

For me it was the same goal, Langdons that broke me and had me sobbing uncontrollably and every goal after that brought more and more tears of joy. I godda grab a tissue I'm starting again.

Yep. 32 seconds between the first and third goals. First at 0:47, second at 0:30, third at 0:15. The stuff dreams are made of.

There were 15 seconds left after Clarry scored. Plenty of time to kick a fourth goal. Trac won the final clearance but couldn't quite get clear to deliver inside 50

[Dee Zephyr 17,666]

I’m still trying to imagine what it would’ve been like to witness that blitz at the G.
The Dogs worked very hard to peg us back and jump out to 19. To not only see that lead evaporate so quickly but to find themselves 24 down at the last change it’s no wonder they looked mentally kaput after Oliver’s goal. 
Amazing finish to a quarter.
 

[Emerald 1,711]

I was still nervous as [censored] at three quarter time but after many subsequent viewings, the countenances of Treloar, English, and the girl in the crowd with the sad eyes says it all.'

The 6 6 6 rule prevents teams flooding the defence in the last minutes of a quarter . But yes a team with momentum and confidence can go bang bang bang in the last minute

[Rab D Nesbitt 7,211]

At the start of the comeback it was actually 1 minute 3 seconds between Fritta's mark ( goal 1) and the mark to Ben Brown (goal 3). If not for the fact that two of the three goals were set shots including one with a 50 metre run up we would have scored 3 goals in around 40 seconds twice in just a nine minutes period.

As soon as the final siren rang I knew we had it .Not much before.

To be fair Mathews never said that. What he did say was; he would start to breathe easier at the end of the last quarter when there were more goals required than minutes remaining.

I think in the commentary on the radio SEN they said that Beveridge arrived on the boundary just in time to see the carnage.

We were all getting a bit anxious when Bont kicked that goal to put them 19 points up, I took the dog out the back for toilet break, I heard a roar and when I got back inside Fritta had kicked out sixth. My grandson (7yo) said grandad take Bella outside again which I did and bang Fritta kicked our 7th, I laughingly said I am going back outside and BBB kicked our 8th. We all laughed and I didn’t go outside again.!!!
