My vote goes to the Langford boundary goal. Mainly because of the "no f**kin way" look on some of the faces...

Reminds me of one of my many many favourite parts of the '08 GF. Of the telecast anyway. After an undersized 3rd string forward and a fat retiree beat the cream of the illustrious Cat backline to goal, the camera pans from the Hawk fans going out of their minds, across to the utterly disbelieving, disconsolate Cat section, absolute GOLD! Cracks me up every single time I see it (probably well into the hundreds now).
Can be seen here, at around 2.35:
I also love the one lone Hawk fanatic, waving his flag in the middle of that long faced lot....
Made himself a legend of the Hawthorn FC in the space of 5 minutes. Not many can claim that....I love Dew for what he did for the club that day, simply amazing

Geez i love that video.
But it is amazing when you compare that 13/14 team to the 08. Just how much better this current team is, champions on every line.
Agreed, I keep coming back to the vids of '08. That period of starvation leading up to it is a major factor as to what makes it so special. And the game itself is just so chock-full of iconic Hawk moments, at this stage I'd say more so than the last two years. From Changa's running goal, to Young's boomer, to an 18yo, first year Cyril beating 3 bigger, stronger, more experienced Cats on the wing, to Cyril's rove off Buddy and Scarlett, to the aforementioned 3rd forward and fat retiree beating 3-4 Cat backs through sheer will and determination, to Dew's 50 metre bomb after we worried Taylor out of it, to Buddy slapping Scarlett aside with one hand and delivering to Dew to goal from a sharp angle..........We are a much better, more rounded team now (just compare what happens with injuries in 2009 & 2014), but there'll always be something about the 2008 season that is just magical. Maybe it comes of having been in the wilderness for so long, but that entire season was just a joy from start to finish.
By contrast, 2013-14 is just being back where we belong.
And yep, agree that '13 and '14 is just back to 'business as usual'. Still utterly magnificent though, of course!
I love that look of "get the f*ck out of here" when he kicked that goal.

I think Rough's pressure while the ball was in flight was the start of it.Since Harry Taylor shat himself in that 3rd quarter of the '08 GF, I've called him "Footsteps". Coz it certainly looked like he was s**t scared of something or someone behind him when he fumbled that ball ...
Great thread but the title doesn't go hard enough imo.....
My tip will be the Hodge intercept and goal.
Could this be after Lake drove his elbow into Big Buds precious scone?
when buddy pushed spang late in the back...downfield was paid....hilly ran onto the ball and delivered lace out to Roughy to kick his 3rd i think it was.

Late in the 3rd term.
