Thoughts??

[Cuzz09]

I like the marks until the last one ;)

[Ron]

David Bourke what a champion.
Its pretty clear he was too great for this little competition of ours, he was something special indeed, no mere mortal could of taken that mark. :thumbsu: :thumbsu: :thumbsu:

[MAG87]

you had these up before and i was looking for them under your old name. excellent movies but i dont like the last mark of the mark video especially with the music. too eerie. by the way whats the song you use in your goals videos.

I had to end it with something :D

And being a Swans supporter I wasn't going to end it with that Beau Waters mark or something :o

Maybe Mick McGuane's drop catch at the WACA would've been more fitting :p

Top stuff, you know when a goal is good when you get goosebumps.

Interested to know if anyone was in the crowd shots of some of those goals

3 goals that come to mind that I would like to see, Jason MaCartneys last goal, Jeff Fehrings long bomb and Rhet Biglands from last year through traffic on the boundary line

Excellent work - well done. No SOS?

It's Jacque Lu Cont's Remix of "What Else is There?" by Royksopp. Awesome tune and awesome clip, nice work :thumbsu:

[Magic17]

Great stuff.:thumbsu:

[Lightning_Rod]

absolute awsome stuff there, but two goals that stand out that are missing is the mcleod one at footy park and the davey goal against brisbane last year.

[King Kieran]

Nice work, but you left out some of Jonathon Browns trade mark run with the flight of the ball marks, the mark of the year he took against hawthorn in 2001 was awesome!

Dont have that one.

I have both of those but just didnt put them in.... probably shouldve....

[Rodger]

awesome videos.
how about some of reiwoldts marks tho...running back with the flight, one of the all time best, ablett aswell?
but loved the goals. good stuff

[smelly cat]

Leaving Ablett out is like leaving Jordan out of a greatest dunks in basketball video. It just feels incomplete. Everything else was well put together though- well done!

[deeps]

I'm gonna disagree and say alot of the goals were good, but not THAT special at all.

Best goals of all time? Sorry i disagree

mate that is the best footage i have seen on this site well done :thumbsu:

Thanks for the positive feedback mate. It's people like you who make people who make videos want to make them. Unlike clowns like 'S "Thinks He's Daicos" J', you know how hard it is to find AFL footage??

[SouthSwans]

Noticed you included 'dropped catches' from both Robertson (1:52 remaining) and Montgomery (0:40 remaining). Both were paid. How about you realise that this happens every week and get over it?

The Robertson one was held in full control until he hit the ground releasing the ball under the pressure. Controlled.

The Montgomery one was held in full control until his body thundered to the ground vertically releasing the ball. Controlled.

The Ablett one is tapped on the left hand (not in control), into the right hand (not in control) where it bounces onto his gut (not in control) and then bounces away. At no point during that mark did Ablett hold control whereas the other two marks were held all the way down.

That's not my point. You were the one who brought up the cricket analogy, not me. That has been my point the whole time:

Not a mark. In cricket that's classified as a drop catch. No drop catch is good as any mark no matter how dour it is.

Robertson: dropped catch - still a mark.
Montgomery: dropped catch - still a mark.
Ablett: dropped catch - still a mark.

And mate I'm sorry if I offended you about your video of goals, that wasn't my point either. I understand it's hard to get footage, all I was saying is that for the "Best Goals of All Time", there were probably too many from recent years. Still loved it though. Wasn't having a go.

Sorry mate.

Sorry mate.
No worries.

And on the Ablett thing, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, because I believe if you took a catch in cricket like those of Monty and Robbo it would be paid, but if you took one like Ablett's it wouldnt.

Yeah in cricket is different:

Law 32 (Caught)
1. Out Caught
The striker is out Caught if a ball delivered by the bowler, not being a No ball, touches his bat without having previously been in contact with any member of the fielding side and is subsequently held by a fielder as a fair catch before it touches the ground.
3. A fair catch
A catch shall be considered to have been fairly made if
(a) throughout the act of making the catch
(i) any fielder in contact with the ball is within the field of play. See 4 below.
(ii) the ball is at no time in contact with any object grounded beyond the boundary.

The act of making the catch shall start from the time when a fielder first handles the ball and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control both over the ball and over his own movement.

Sorry about the confusion.

[The Royal Sampler]

That was pretty good, but IMHO it should have been shorter and more selective.

It's a shame it's so hard to find older AFL footage, would have loved to see Daicos' contributions to the goals video if it were possible.

Mate if you're interested, there is a Daicos video someone made, it's pretty decent. Well worth a look.

[The Royal Sampler]

Awesome, thanks mate. It went up two months ago, my last check must have been prior to that. :thumbsu:

Looking at that, in a way it depresses me that Daicos isn't playing any more. He was a genius.

I agree. Only one player who I've seen who was better to watch ;).

[SouthSwans]

I agree. Only one player who I've seen who was better to watch ;).
Yeah, Wayne Carey.

[S "Thinks He's Daicos" J]

Yeah, Wayne Carey.
Are you trying to stir me up again? Carn mate.

[SouthSwans]

I'm not stirring. Carey was the best player ever.

[JF_Bay_22_SCG]

This is the 2nd best goal I have ever seen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ9T5l6nlqA

The best was one Michael Mitchell kicked against us in the last round in 1990 I think. a complete length of the field effort with about 8-9 bounces.

Yeah, has any one got footage of this? I loved that mark.

Thats one of the top 3 ive ever seen. Check out the score and time of the game.

Intercept kick, recive, gather, spin, break tackle, bang from 50.

That was a reminder of why clubs want him

Loved Wanganeen's goal to get them through to the GF. :thumbsu: for the Vids
