Kicks after the siren to win...

[sp-mac]

For such pressure kicks I can't actually recall too many times where the kick to win has been missed. Names like Brownless, Hall, Tarrant, Riccardi, Dixon and now Lonmuir spring to mind for the win but I can't think of many cases where the person in their situation has missed.

Kernahan's out on the full is the only one that I can think of.

Lloyd v the Dogs in 2002. Matty Egan last week.

Yeah thats true hey.

 

[Tim the Toolman]

Barry Hall this year Swans v Lions but scores were tied when he took the kick - couldn't lose.

Poults at the SCG in '02 what a champ

Thats what my post was.

Oh yeah forgot about that one. Who would've thought Tarrant would be the one to succeed under pressure of the two. Lloyd is a ten times better kick than Tarrant. Funny game footy.

I think it was Waite who had a shot from like 85 metres after the siren against Port when scores were level. didnt make the distance - Sort of the topic??

 

[Tim the Toolman]

Sorry, I digressed. When did Brownless miss one then? I remember him kicking one to win during a final against the doggies once.

Cresswell vs Roos in 02.

Rocca vs Swans in 00.

Lockett's famous miss against Essendon in the prelim in '96, but all he needed was a point so they won!

One famous kick to "lose" a game I can remember from the 70's was a North V. Hawthorn, when Blight kicked a point on the siren to equal the scores. As he was pushed as he kicked, the umpire gave him the option of another kick.

If I remember it was only about 30 meters out from goal but it was a very wet day and Blighty duly kicked it on the full, leaving the Hawks one point winners.

Blighty was a great player but he was also responsible for some monumental stuff ups. I remember him running into the open goal, running straight past the goal and booting it through for a behind. He obviously forgot where he was

Kicks to win that didn't - Geelong v Melbourne last week - forgot his name...

As for kicks to win that came off - don't forget Plugger's goal in 1996 against Essendon.

That was a point wasn't it?

Yes, quite correct - it was a point. But it was a kick after the siren to win

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Simon Beasley at Carrara v Brisbane Bears 1988/89,
with all the kids on the oval kicked a point.

Malcolm Blight in the slush v Hawthorn at Arden St 1977
(out on the full)

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Also recall Robert Scott at Kardinia Park v Sydney, early 90's
after the siren, right hand pocket,
missed a set shot for a point and Geelong lost.

 

[Refried Noodle]

Barry Hall this year Swans v Lions but scores were tied when he took the kick - couldn't lose.

(I think) He also won a game agaisnt Hawthorn with a goal after the siren with his last ever kick for St Kilda in 2001.

Kernahan's out on the full is the only one that I can think of.

Yeah, but he kicked that one after the siren to give the Blues a win over the Kangas and top spot in 1987.

 

[Don Logan]

Chris Naish (Richmond) against Geelong at Kardinia. Mid 1990's.

Needed a goal, about 40 out but missed to right.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Always remember the Blight one v Hawthorn 1977.
Think Mike Williamson said something along the lines of
"He'd be a deadhead if he misses"
and he missed

 

[Fire]

Lockett missed against Essendon in the 96 prelim, but won them the game anyway.

Does that count as a miss?

 

[Kingpin]

Always remember the Blight one v Hawthorn 1977.

"He'd be a deadhead if he misses"
and he missed

Arden Street 1977:
Blight gets a push in the pack whilst shooting for goal, it misses to tie the scores at 6.12.48 apeice.
Blight receives the free and the siren goes, with the North 1-point down.

Commentator: "It'll be a dead heat if he misses" (IE: kicks a point) - nobody expected Blight to put it out on the full from 25m out despite how dreadful the conditions were that day.
And as history tells us........He missed the lot.

The commentator wasn't Mike Williamson, he'd already retired. It was either Lou Richards or Jack Edwards.
