That was the exact youtube clip I was just going to post.

What about the one against Richmond at Skilled last year. Started with Wojak, went Ablett, Corey, Kelly, somone else, who spotted Stokes on the run at the 50, and by the time it got to him he was only 25m out, and ran into open goal.
Brilliant!

1. A good hip and shoulder. And I don't mean ones like Holland on Montgomery, a fair one to that flattens/sends flying a player with the ball.
2. Specky. Enough said.
3. When player that just cannot be touched, no matter how heavy the traffic. Robert Harvey specifically comes to to mind, Judd is another who is great to see. Sheer magic when it happens
4. Watching a player run into a pack with nothing but eyes for the ball and somehow emerge with it and get the clearance. Hayes and Ball are great in this regard.

And just FWIW in my opinion the most overrated passage of play is the snap from the boundry line. They're all pretty similar looking, tend to be done at times of the match when the outcome is already decided by showy players. Just nothing that special once you've seen them multiple times in my opinion.
 
whenever you play the pies...you can guarantee that within seconds of the first bounce, at the first opportunity a pie manages to execute a legal tackle...the toothless hordes scream "BALL!!" with as much passion as they usually reserve for collecting welfare.

Hearing that first pie "ball" gives me my jollies..
 
I love watching a player so incredibly committed that he goes back a second, third, fourth, fifth time to get the ball in the one passage of play. Sustained efforts are brilliant to watch.

Campbell Brown's back into a pack and take a mark whilst getting bowled over. Happens every game without fail - and is always brilliant to watch.
