I normally wouldn't be up but this thread inspired me to watch the 99 GF.The fact that it's 3 in the morning makes it all the more remarkable
Matty Larkin vs Eagles.
I would seriously consider offering oral sex to whoever could upchuck this goal onto youtube.
*hopes we have a bunch of tech-savvy female posters, hopes giantroo is a woman*
And there are many in this one, but the goal at 5:30 literally had me and the crowd off their feet...

Another great goal yet to be mentioned is Phil Krakouer's goal of the year (?) from a nightgame at the 'G. I think it was a Friday night game that we got to play in thanks to the generosity of BoofHead McGuire. Anyway, Phil ducked and dodged out on the HFF top right of screen kicking to the City end, before slotting a long, miraculous goal from the boundary line.
Might have been v Essendon. Might also have been GOTY.
That was the night when, having seen Phil tear is side apart, Kevin Sheedy decided to invent indigenous footballers.
What about Peter Germans goal vs Bris Rnd 1, 1993 at the MCG? There were 6,000+ people (mostly NM) there that day & when Germo slotted the first goal of the 2nd quarter, you couldn't hear a pin drop.
McCartney's goal in 2003 against the Tigers. Just amazing.
I agree it was a magic night. I found the video clip to re live it and enjoyThat whole night was surreal. First the comeback, then he kicks the winning goal, then he announces his retirement.
Some great memories in this thread. My first thought was Blighty's bomb in the 70's, which Tef posted on the first page. I'm proud to say I was there that day.
All good goals.
Funnily enough, the first goal I thought of was the second goal mentioned by heartstohearts.
It was Winnie's first goal of the last 1/4 of the '99 GF, when he weaved and waltzed through the goalsquare. I knew we'd won the flag when he kicked that goal.

Likewise mate, at the tender age of 8. It's as clear as if it occured a year ago though, as I'm sure you'd agree. One of the best feelings I've ever felt after a game (that didn't involve a girl).
I remember that well Gabbie, was a great goal to seal a great win.Yep, Lucky Phil made GOTY against Essendon on a Friday night. We Won as well.
My memory aint what it used to be but one night against Adelaide, while the Sthn Stand was being rebuilt, I think it was Rock who marked almost on the final siren and kicked a boomer to win us the game by 3 points is one.
Also, another game against Bris (?) at the "G", game went something like Arch to Bell to Boomer who put us in front and all of us in the seats in front of Hassett room were turning around asking those who were watching it on TV "HOW LONG TO GO??" My goal kicker could be wrong cos I don't think Belly could have kicked that far.
Natch Blightys goal in '76 and McCartneys last game are a must.
I remember that well Gabbie, was a great goal to seal a great win.
The main reason I remember that though was because my old man had a company car with SA plates and we copped heaps in the car park until I popped the scarf out the window.
