Favourite Essendon Goals

Hird's goal vs Geelong in 2004 semi final was simply astonishing.

I vaguely remember Bewick snagging one from the goal square with a drop kick in a Friday night game against the pies in 99. Did this happen?

Bewick did drop kicks (from a metre out) a few times. Was a cheeky little monkey.

I remember in 200, round 22 i think it as, Rama kicked ball from centre wing, and Longy let it bounce through for a goal. Must of gone about 80 odd metres

  • Tim Watson - 1984 GF, the one where he receives the hand pass from Weston then has the fists clenched above his head in celebration.
  • Mark Mercuri - 3rd quarter 1993 PF - The roar of the crowd was incredible, you could tell we were coming!

  • Dean Rioli - 2001 v St.Kilda - Under-rated piece of skill, reads the crumb front and centre, on the left foot just casually dribbles it home.

Hmm it appears the youtube feature doesn't work how it used to, and why can't I edit my post? Oh well nevermind.

Came to post this exact one.

 

I can still clearly remember watching this and I would've been 10!

Was against WCE I think.

Melksham goal against the scum this year

Derek Kickett circa 1989 at Windy Hill. Anthony Daniher kicks ia 70m drop punt to Kickett in the middle of the ground. Kickett turns around, takes two steps, and kicks a torp just forward of centre through the goals post high.

- Timmy's leap and goal in the 1981 Escort Cup GF

- TD's opening goal in the 83 PF

- Timmy's 2 goals in the last qtr of the 84 GF

- Baker's goal in the last qtr of the 84 GF

- Mercuri's 3rd qtr goal in the 93 PF

- Zaharakis' goal in 2009 Anzac Day match

With Tim Watson's 2 last qtr goals, I loved them mainly due to the 1%'s in each of those by Roger Merret.

 

The first was the shepheard he laid for Watson to run on and into an open goal

 

The second was a tap over the top (I think to Watson if not to Harvey who then handballed to Watson).

 

Also his mark and goal in that quarter from 4 deep when the Hawks players misjudged the kick from Van der Haar.

 

Oh and Merv Neagles goal

derek kickett torp on the 3qtr time siren against WC in late season 93 (can't remember if it was close to 3qtr time or after the siren and it probably wasn't as far out as my mind's eye remembers)

 

scott lucas volley deep in the punt rd end northern stand pocket in a late season game against the tigers  (the joel bowden game, 2008?)

 

zaharakis anzac day 2009

 

hird 2004 semi final against the cats late in the last quarter

 

fletcher through the middle of the ground in the carlton draw 2011

 

hille late in the 3rd against WC 2011 a very casual bomb from 55 on a tight angle after playing on, just a lovely lovely goal which probably iced it for us.

 

zaharakis on the run from a sublime ryder tap in the last (i think ) against the crows at aami in 2011 (received my one and only ban from this place at half time that night, lol)

 

ryder deserves a mention for his 50 meter set/snap shot from the boundary against GC last year (thought it was better than this years one because of the tough conditions and because he made Darcey look like a complete goose)

 

i could go on.....

Derek Kickett v West Coast, MCG 1993.  The jacket-waving match.  A very tight match.  The crowd is going insane.  Kickett marks 60 metres out and lines up.  A man behind me said, "If he kicks this, he'll bring the house down."

 

He kicked it, a torp straight through the middle post  height.

 

He brought the house down.  

 

What a day.

one that gets overlooked a lot is Ricky Dyson's goal in the last qtr of the 2009 Anzac Day match. Was a ripper!

 

There was an awesome team goal in the 2003 anzac day game, which finished with Cupido kicking the goal. Think it was the 3rd qtr, but not quite sure.

This was a beaut, ANZAC Day 04.

This was a beaut, ANZAC Day 04.

that was my first anzac day match, loved every minute of it

Any one of dozens where Scotty Lucas wheeled around on his left foot and slotted one from 60 metres +. Missed a few too, but thanks for the memories.

Barnard goal v hawks 2002

Barnard goal v hawks 2002
