Current players who have had moments of greatness

[Red Black and Blue]

I'm talking about those players who have had iconic moments that will be in highlights packages 100 years down the track.

A couple who spring to mind are Daniel Wells mid air goal, Andrew Walker and Brendan Goddard for their marks, Buddy's goals after the long run down the wing.

What are some other current players who will be etched into history for a moment of brilliance?

You really started this thread so someone would say Zaharakis didn't you.

 

[SirJimi05]

Zaharakis, Zaharakis!!!!!

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Hahaha surprising slipped my mind. Looks suss though I actually couldn't think of an Essendon one.

Akermanis snaps from opposite pockets (he is nearly current..)

More of a moment of infamy than greatness but the Milne bounce will be remembered for many years.

Gary Ablett for sure, love the turn to the crowd as the ball goes through in the background.

Did anyone mention Zaharakis yet?

Cyril Rioli. Delicious.

Scarlett's toe poke?

Not sure. Close, but not sure it really got the praise the match.

Cyril Rioli. Delicious.

Which Cyril moment?

In years to come I reckon it might be looked back on as greatness, the defining moment. Much like Wayne Harmes and his assist.

Leo Barry's mark?

Could be true.

Leo Barry's mark for sure. Unfortunately people will remember his mark more than how good a player he was 2004-5.

Goddards mark and goal in the drawn GF.

Scarletts toe poke for chapmans goal in 2009 GF.

Leo Barry's mark for sure. Unfortunately people will remember his mark more than how good a player he was 2004-5.

Nothing unfortunate about it, I think.

We'd all love to be remembered for something like that.

Not denying that, but I think his overall quality will be forgotten in comparison.

Alright guess it doesn't have to be current players

Varcoe's 2011 GF last/4 goal that started with him deep in defence. Amazing gut running, and the goal sealed the result.

Only watched the game the once, did not notice the quality of that goal. Amazing running. Three massive efforts.

Which Cyril moment?

I meant Bruce calling him delicious.

If we're not limiting it to current players then these two:

I did misread the thread a bit though....its about individual moments rather than games....but he came of age in that GF and proved that blonde players with hyphenated surnames and gay first names can sometimes actully play foooty!!
