Danny O'Brien, Geelong midget who attempted a 'Jono Brown running with the flight' mark that was held for about 1 second yet paid a mark, with about 1 minute left in the swans vs cats game in 2000.

But that isn't why he will be remembered, after he was paid the mark he proceeded to raise his arms like he had kicked the winning goal, when in reality he had only been paid a mark. Poor bloke only played about 3 more games!
 
Daniel Motlop - Wincing when he had to take the kick after the siren.
Nick Riewoldt - Crying like a little girl.
Josh Kennedy - The steak knives in the Judd trade.
Rhys Palmer - First player to win 5 Charlies...

Regardless of what ever happens, two current players who will only be known for a few moments are Lance Franklin and Cyril Rioli.

Franklin for that kick, which will always be used in his highlight packages

Rioli for his miraculous goal vs Richmond in his 5th game....

not sure what sort of hawthorn supporter you are. i'm confident both franklin and rioli will be remembered for a lot more than these two moments. just because they do something special and it is often shown, doesn't mean it's the only thing they'll be remembered for.

it wasn't that good to be remembered in 10 years to come, alot of people probably don't even know what you are talking about

Ted Hopkins kicking 4 second half goals in 1970 grand final, don't think anyone would remember anything else he has done
 
Wade Chapman was the Swans little man who passed the ball to Plugger for that point in the 1996 Preliminary Final.

Peter Caven was the Sydney defender who had facial remodelling, courtesy of Plugger's elbow.

Silvio Foschini was the Swans little man who defied the VFL clearance rules, took them to court and lined up for St Kilda the following week.

Paul Morwood (Tony and Shane's brother) didn't even bother going to court and simply lined up for the Saints without a clearance.

Austinn McCrabb was the Geelong defender whom Malcolm Blight banished from the team huddle at quarter time, for breaking a team rule.

Gary Sidebottom was the Geelong CHF from WA, who missed the team's bus and 1981 Preliminary Final.

Neil Crompton was Melbourne's back pocket in the 1964 Grand Final, who drifted forward in time-on and kicked the winning goal, his first for the season.

Neil Sachse was the Footscray youngster who became a quadriplegic after copping an accidental bump to the head.

Ross "Twiggy" Dunne was the Collingwood forward who took the pack mark, then kicked the tieing torpedo goal from 25m in the drawn 1977 Grand Final.

Jon Dorotich was the Carlton CHB who was caught in Melbourne's CBD one night, playing with his Angry Anderson doll.
