Bontempelli GOTY.... there is a challenger - Matt White kicks a stunner

[SkyHawk]

This thread: 'My team's goal was better!'

If that's the case, then Roughy's takes the cake:

 

[SkyHawk]

Ballantyne against Geelong has them both covered easily

Not as good as Bont's...better than White's.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Piece of piss if you're more than a role player...



Yarran even pulls away from Montagna 75 to 80 out.

LOL.

Is this even a serious post?

 

[Plugger35]

I'd probably go with White's goal ahead of Bontempelli's but both would be worthy winners.

These two goals from Jack Steven were pretty good too.

Great goal, more a showcase of speed though, rather than brilliant skill. For me, the finish itself is straight forward, it's a running shot at goal from inside 50 with no one in front of him. The run itself, well there's a heap of open space in front of him, he doesn't dodge anyone, doesn't baulk anyone, doesn't break anyone's tackle.

Spectacular goal: Yes
Goal of the year: no way in my eyes

If you rate this goal of the year, you essentially are rating it based on legspeed and endurance rather than footy smarts and skills.

That's comfortably the GOTY at this stage for mine

He does baulk Morris, speed up and bounce the ball at the same time. That's the best part.

That's not a baulk. That was just running faster.

 

[year of the cat]

Yep, goal of the year for me too. Has White been on the peptides this year? He looks so much quicker than in previous years.

 

[SkyHawk]

That's not a baulk. That was just running faster.

I think it's a slight baulk. I don't know why people were going so gung-ho about it, though. Bont's goal is much better, IMO.

There is no baulk.

This seems a little bit of bitterness to me, judging it purely on the legspeed? Really? Most players would have been too ****ed to even make the distance after a run like that which is what makes this one quite unique in that he finished it, kicking a drop punt from 50 with a defender on your tail after having sprinted 100+ metres is "straight forward"? Nah, can see you've never played footy before.

 

[SkyHawk]

There is.

 

[Pusswah]

Ok goal, love the Richmond fans booing as he gets the ball.

 

[Jimmybob]

GOTY for mine, it's so much better than fluke snaps from the boundary.

Watch it again mate, wasn't so much a fluke after he danced around 5 opponents to then go on and purposefully kick the goal to get his team infront in the dying minutes.

Not bitter at all. Love Whitey.
Judging the call on its merits, yes most players would be too stuffed to kick it: endurance as I mentioned. The kick itself is inside 50 with little angle so in that sense the actual goal kick is straight forwarf as opposed to say Bontempellis in the pocket umder pressure.

And yes i have played footy and would not get near kicking that goal.

You dont deny the primary features of the goal are speed and endurance do you?

 

[Donakebab]

There is.

No there isn't. He was simply faster and ran straight past him. Zero baulk.

 

[SkyHawk]

Yes there is. He slightly side-steps - i.e. baulks - him.

 

[juss]

I dont think you know what a baulk is.

You got to realize how hard it is to kick straight after running flat out for 100 metres. More often than not players shank their kicks after a run.

Thanks riteo - just saved me tapping out a reply. Thinking that finish was simple is ridiculous

 

[SkyHawk]

I dont think you know what a baulk is.

Dictionary:

baulk: to avoid deliberately

He doesn't maintain his line when he is running because Morris is there. Thus he baulks.

That's the last I'm saying on the matter.

Yep i do. But doing it after 100m is primarily due to endurance. Im yet to see anyone dispute me on this which was my original post.

Whites always been a freak runner and speedster, but the finish takes more fitness/endurance than skill when compared to Bontis.

 

[juss]

People are getting into me like i dont rate the goal, its an awesome goal, just dont think its GOTY due to it primarily being based on athketic attributes rather than footy attributes in comparison to Bontempellis.

I like how the commentators say there are no options, whilst on screen you see a port player with his arm up calling for the ball.
