I'm sure there's been plenty of cases where the first kick of the game was a goal (handball, handball, goal etc), but has the first disposal of the game ever been one?

The most famous instance is actually a VFA Grand Final from the early 70's.
Dandy vs Port - a bit of push and shove before the ball is bounced. Ump gives Dandy full-forward Frosty Miller a free - goal kicked before the ball is bounced.
And yes, Dandenong won the game - by 6 points.

Ken McGregor, first possession of the 2005 Preliminary Final.
Was my mate's bucks day, and one of my mates went big on him kicking the first goal - was ecstatic.
Not sure if this will show it...

I was going to come on here and mention the McGregor one. I did not think it was already 5 years ago though

Pavlich against Carlton in 2008. Also got a fifty before the bounce to make it a certain goal.

look at the video i put up near the start

The straw that stirs the drink
Classic contemporary Melbourne - let's just leave the best player in the game to wander free in the centre.
In other words I'm pleased to see video footage to remind me that Meesen actually existed.

Fastest known first goal in AFL history: 9.1 seconds. Brilliant rove, quick pace and a nice drop punt from 50 contributes to this!

Brett Deledio round 3, 2013, 9 seconds.
Gary Ablett in 2009 was 1-2 seconds faster than Deledio.

Lids goal was pretty cool.
It would be awesome if Nic Nat taps it to himself and gets a goal with the first pos.

Deledios a was 2 milliseconds quicker
Thats right Travis Gaspar was it got the free against, Fuark, great memory dude!
I vaguely remember listening on the radio when G Ablett puched it out of the centre bounce and Damien Bourke snapped a goal. I recall thinking it unusual that the players seemed to be 'swapped' in the expected positions they would play.
Long time ago though, probably no footage.
was there, crowd were bewildered. was actually nongers v preston.
