Originally posted by SimonH Dead right. While the 4th one deserved kudos just for being a goddamn lifesaver, the 3rd was by far the superior goal in terms of skills displayed. Degree of difficulty: 3.8.
Tough to rate 'em taking context into account, b/c Keneally's goal against BL, while very pretty to watch, was against an opposition that was blown away and half-interested.
But the top 50 goals don't take context into account. That's the point, they are the best goals no matter what (alledgedly), In Kennelly's case that goal was absolutely brilliant, the way he avoided Voss (I think it was Voss) just before he kicked it, pure poetry in motion
Probably doesn't rate top 50, but I still get chills down the back whenever I see it: Mickey's snap against St Kilda in the last quarter of the final - the sheer speed and precision.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

His banana/off spinner against Essendon made it...now that was "pure magic"
Jude Bolton's goal to level the scores in Round 3 at the Gabba, a great team play.
Jarred Moore's first goal in footy against the Bombers at Telstra Stadium
Luke Vogels' second against the Dogs at the SCG, great evasive skills to get out of trouble
Against Carlton, a goal to O'Loughlin that resulted from a Craig Bolton break-out down the middle followed by a long pinpoint pass
Schneider on the run against WC at the SCG
O'Loughlin's leg break against the Bombers at Telstra Dome
Tadhg's goal against the Lions at Telstra Stadium (of course! - yet another great team play)
Pretty much all of Nick Davis' goals against the Cats.
No. 1 was an opportunist snap, No. 2 was a great passage of play, No. 3 was just sheer class, No. 4...well, we know about no. 4
Bazza's goal from long range after evading McGuire in the PF
Schneider's 3rd against the Saints in the PF. "..and the Swans are into the grand final!"
Monty's goal in the GF. Not just for the context - it won us the game! - but I'm sure everyone thought after Davis' goal no-one thought we could do that again, but we did!! A carbon copy.
Just watched the top 50...not happy Jan! The judges have been sucked in to the Chris Judd hype again. I thought Akermanis goal at number 4 was far superior to Judd's and I can't stand Aker! Judds' was a fairly run of the mill goal for a top AFL player, there were many similar to it in the top 50.
On another note though...how many soccer style goals were there??? It was amazing to see player after player kicking goals out of mid air from all over the place. What a great game we have.
Originally posted by giant Yep, that's it - separate box comes up with the player. It either comes on automatically or you just click the link in the player.
Doesn't work for me either. Giant are you a bigpond user?

Umm, I guess maybe I am....at work anyway, coz it's not working for me at home. I certainly don't subscribe to any of the AFL services but perhaps you get free access to some of the video if you're a Telstra BB customer? Go figger!

It does say something about that on the sign in for the AFL video. But you can subscribe for just AFL stuff somehow.
