For a twist on everyone's inevitable answer (99 Prelim) Glenn Manton's "let's stick it up the f%&king Bombers next week" after we beat the Eagles (I think) back in '99 (he played his 100th Carlton match or his 150th IIRC). Made the hair stand on the back of my neck and got me pumped for the match.
Then we did of course and oh, wasnt it bloody sweet!
Bloody great times- embodied that old "we are Carlton, f&%k the rest" mentality that Ratts is bringing back to the club.
You really are a whippersnipper - mine will be coming from 27 years earlier lol

My favourites inc aforementioned Harmes knock-in but also:-
- Earl Spaulding's smother on Riccardi as he ran into the open goal in 1995; and
- The opening 3 minutes of the 1982 Grand Final when it was p*ssing with rain and Carlton could do no wrong.

Along the lines of the spalding smother. I loved diesel's interception from the kick in in 95 where he made Handley look like a chump. I loved Madden's goal on the run and Williams beating Colbert one out in the square to kick another.
Such happy memories

Early part of 87 for me when The Dominator got us going with his first goal and knocked The Big Dipper into orbit with his devastating left forearm.
It was just about over then, even though they hit back to lead at 1/4 time i think.

'79 Grand Final,
the oval is a cow paddock,
24 minutes into the second quarter,
we haven't kicked a sausage and Collingwood are up bit 29 points,
Harmes into the centre,
bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
and in the blink of an eye,
we lead by a point at half time.
