SA Footy

Been interesting to hear different players, commentators, supporters best moment of the GF, it seems there's no clear cut moment.

Mine personally was Travis Varcoe's goal in the first 13 seconds, it was an unbelievable start and I was down that end and went absolutely spastic over it as it seemed an unbelievable start to the game. Ive also heard others state that Lingy's final goal of the match, Bartels games and some goals were some favs.
Other moments up there for me were Christensen's mark on the outer against 2 Collingwood players, Hawkin's marking efforts and Johnno's game.
If I was a Pies fan it would have been Cloke's monster goals in the first half and Krakour's mark from the side (when Geelong were 1 short).

What was yours?

The first three quarters.

Harry O'Brien klutzing that kick in the last five minutes, for Ling to finish. Nice.

Varcoe's run from the back pocket all the way down to the forward pocket and then get the ball and snap a ripper on his left in the last quarter.

Meatloaf....

Definitely that mark and subsequent play of Christensen. At a vital stage he beat two bigger, more experienced blokes. But the key for me was he didn't let the rush go to his head and play on straight away into trouble, but stopped, assessed, and still moved the ball on quickly, leading to a chain of possessions and a vital goal.

Bartel snap

x2, ripper passage of play and IMO sealed it for the cats.

Sitting in The Ventnor Hotel in Port Vincent not giving a flying **** who wins and coming to the realization that with me in the pub, the Mrs in the holiday home and the kids on the beach that we were the real winners on that day.

you should make it an annual trip down there on GF weekend

Tom Hawkins 5 minute patch in the last quarter.

Maa! The Meatloaf! F***!!

The little flick by Stokesy to Stevie J for his first goal.
Bartel's gutsy mark in the forward pocket & calmly slotting the goal in the wet from tight angle, 3rd 1/4.
Varcoes 1st & 3rd goal. And his 2nd.

Oh stuff it: All 18 goals. Every time we went near the ball and won the contested possession. Absolutely every f*@#ing thing about the day and weekend for that matter until Norwood copped a pasting.

Lastly: Mick & Nathans faces.

What I did not like? Maxwells speech.

Mid way through the second quarter, the crowd chanting, all the neutral supporters around me commenting that we might run away with it, me asking them the be quiet there was still a long way to go..... Oh how it changed from there

The GEEEEEEE------LOOOOOOOOONG chant going up. Classic.

Dangerfield winning the sprint. And the collingwood supporters pulling out the chants after kraks goal. Bit early

Cracking goal indeed! And the thing that impressed me the most was the way it started, he ran back with the flight with courage to make the first contest. Great work by varcoe

Tom Hawkins second half was the ripper for me.
