Toast What is the best 5 minute burst of individual footy brilliance you have seen?

[Macca19]

Stuey Dew kicked 3 goals all from outside 50 off one step in the space of 45 seconds in the 2001 Ansett Cup GF. Even though the match meant nothing, that was ridiculous.

in the last quarter, 2013 prelim against the Cats. Thought it was all over when they went just under 4 goals up. Burgoyne moved forward and was involved in every goal that put us in front. Seriously would have to be one of the most underrated players in the history of the game.

 

[Rotayjay]

I would have said Darren Jarman in the 1997 grand final, but that was the fourth quarter overall rather than 5 minutes. Dew in the 2008 grand final really was just 5 minutes, and it was inspirational.

’s 3 goals in a minute will always be a favourite of mine. Had a chance for a 4th in a row too but Tarrant didn’t see him bursting into an open goal.

Then the speckie, he was a magical player.

 

[CarnTheKANGAS]

I have not seen a better "burst" player than Wayne Carey. Would consistently single handedly win games of football for North Melbourne. All while having direct 2-3 opponents. The man is the GOAT.

 

[mattyc25]

Not the most brilliant by any means but for a second year ruckman what Luke Jackson did during the last five minutes of the 2021 GF 3Q will go down in Melbourne folklore.

The most overrated pieces of play ever. Viney was far more important and gets no mention.

 

[mattyc25]

This will come across as biased but Gawn kicking 4 goals in 5 minutes in a prelim in 2021 was probably one of the greatest ever performances by a demon in the last 50 years.

Agree it was unbelievable. Especially for a ruckman.

The only caveat is that we were already well on top and up by 52 points in the 3rd before he went nuts.

As much as I love it, you have to rate it down slightly compared to genuine match winning efforts such as Dew.

 

[Young Redleg]

100% agree. People who say that Jackson won the game for us are showing disrespect to Viney, Brayshaw, Petracca, Oliver, Fritsch and Salem.

I don't really see it that way. Dew kicked 2 goals. 2 big goals but it's not like he kicked 3 or 4. The other 2 he 'set up' is a bit of a stretch. one of them was a standard inside 50m and the other one was borderline holding the ball that he shovelled out somehow.

 

[danster168]

Agreed. Although I take exception to the Brayshaw one. He butchered the ball all day and kicked about 2 or 3 on the full. As good as a goal as it was, he owed us that goal.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Nick Davis is my favourite. Others might be more amazing, but I feel like that Nick Davis quarter is really what every kid imagines when they are kicking by themselves in the backyard... 4 goals down... I'll kick a difficult snap, mark one and kick a set shot, even harder snap, and then bang, freak match winner.

I also love that at the last stoppage he was already so hot.. the Cats must have known he was the go-to, but still couldn't stop him.

Truly on fire.

Who’s saying that Jackson won the game for us? He didn’t, it was a team effort, but there’s no way it happens without him in the centre square. You can’t kick four centre square goals in 6 minutes and not look at the ruckman

LOL Gus was absolutely massive. Huge goal, huge mark just when we needed. Then he put Josh Schache right on his arse defending. Beautiful stuff, get tears just thinking about it.

Didak,
3 goals in 3 minutes'

Nah I wasn't referring to you specifically. But some people on this site and on other footy forums have said that Jackson won the game for us.

like I said, yes it was massive but he owed us after his ball use before that which probably cost us a goal or 2. And the Schache hit was a free kick that wasn't paid.

 

[Toump Ass]

the Schache hit was a free kick that wasn't paid.

Agree that Gus should have been rewarded for it.

 

[ImCheatingToWin]

True. But being there live - I thought we never ever looked like converting our chances. Mooney's and Lonergan's misses (among others) just killed us.

I dunno my personal favourite was Otten's miss from 20 out when he had two guys standing on their own in the goal square

Yup that was one of the many moments in the first half (especially second quarter) that killed us.
