That goal.

[Scott lastname]

When I think of the phrase "that goal", it isn't necessarily your favourite goal, or the most skillful, it is the most famous/memorable.

For me, that's the Malcolm Blight goal. Before my time, not my team, but that is the "that goal" for me.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

I do like how cricket has 'that ball'.

Sheldon's goal in the 79 Grand Final IMO

 

[Scott lastname]

Aww



Also this one

Not even my favourite Buddy goal:

I imagine that's the Warne one? I'm not exactly a cricket nut...

And it is undisputed what is "that ball". Same as basketball has "the shot", and it is undisputed what shot it is.

Correct

For me Lenny Hayes 55m goal in the GF.

my household at the time went ballistic after Leon Baker put us in front, still gives me goosebumps

Cant believe noone has raised the Keplar Bradley goal against Carlton when he steps round C. Judd.

 

[Thrawn]

First one doesn't count because it wasn't even a goal.

 

[Davo23]

For me, opposition goals against my team are far more memorable, particularly if they are a "dagger in the heart" which undeservedly beats us, particularly the arsey goals that would never be repeated.:

1. Malceski in last quarter of the 2012 Grand Final;
2. Luke Ball in last quarter of the 2011 Prelim Final;
3. Hawkins in Round 19 of 2012.

Kicked them out of their bottoms.

Matera sets sail for home.

The goal for Eagles supporters. 5 simple words. Doesn't even require a video to bring chills down the spine.

Some good goals, but for a 'that goal' type reference it needs to be acknowledged by all without a gif. If somebody mentioned Cotchin, Stringer, Cassisi etc. without a GIF who would even remember them!?

Players like Buddy, Daicos, G.Ablett have about a dozen crazy goals...if you say remember Daicos' goal...who knows which one your talking about?

Mention Zaka's goal, McGuane's goal, Blight's torp, Gabo's run, Sheldon's goal they are candidates for 'that goal'.

 

[Smithdogmaddog]

I immediately thought of the bulldogs "goal" that was paid a point in the prelim against the Crows and libba being lifted up celebrating.

 

[telsor]

A bit of history...Mitchell goes for a stroll....



Cotchin from the ground...

 

[cobbly]

This one

 

[Kangas_11]

This is the one for me. Absolute quality from Grybas as well.

 

[HARKER]

From a Carlton perspective; This one went alright.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Justin Longmuir v the Saints at Subiaco.

 

[schmuttt]

Both OP and first poster failed to mention Franklin's two goals against the Bombers. You know the goals. You've both failed

Was at that game with an Essendon supporting mate. When buddy got the ball the second time he put his head in his hands and refused to watch it, he just knew it was going to happen again.

 

[Simbatheking21]

Always been a massive fan of this, I was there also with my Carlton mate. Great pickup, opposite foot snap, just brilliant to watch

But, I love ash mcgraths goal for obvious reasons

 

[eaglespremiers]

This passage and goal stand out to me as THE greatest. The Scarlett toe-poke resulted in THE goal that broke a deadlock in the dying moments of the 2009 GF, giving Geelong the lead and the WIN.

Chick's smothering effort in 2006 was better.
