Toast Best footy photos ever

Just the greatest mark EVER

Colin Dell.1977. One of the greatest marks of all time. Shame there was no TV camera there to catch it.

Wayne Schimmelbusch

That young Tiger in the background went OK too. Slightly more follicly challenged these days....

Love this..

Hawthorn players visit their champion player, Peter Crimmins , the night they won the flag, 1976. Crimmo was just holding on to see them win it and passed away shortly after. A special time for Crimmo, who was obviously very sick with cancer but to see the joy on his face would have comforting for his family.

1956 GF. It was a then record crowd of 115, 000 and some of them spill out on the oval to watch the action.

This is the best thread on the forum, well done to all who've contributed.

Looks like Jack's surprised himself that he's up that high and is thinking..."I'm in over my head....help!)

Unfortunately the footage is poor, but this is Michael Mitchell's mark in the WAFL.

Unfortunately it is bloody hard to find any actual footage of them but I reckon he took two (possibly three) of the greatest 20 marks Ive ever seen in VFL / AFL / WAFL history and Kevin Taylor took two of the others.

A opposition player helps a disabled player tie up his shoelaces, quote from the article
“I saw one of our players notice his shoelaces were undone and give him a hand and then I went down to our bench to our reserves coaches and said to them ‘we’ve got to give his kid a goal’,” Gibson said.

Arden St. 1978. A young girl from the Nth.Melbourne cheer squad is plucked out of the crowd to ride an elephant. Great pre game entertainment!

Accurate depiction of the 1992 Grand Final.

Peter Wilson and Barry Stoneham.

Bob Pratt just before the 1935 GF.

South Melbourne had won the 2nd semi vs Collingwood with Pratt Kicking 6 goals, bringing up his ton for the year. On the Thursday night before the Grand Final, Pratt was hit by a truck (not too much, but enough so that he missed the game).

The significance of the ciggie in the photo is that the driver of the truck offered Pratt a packet of cigarettes as way of apology. He claimed he was a South Melbourne supporter.

Collingwood won the Grand Final.
