that Benny clown on the other hand, i would say he still has issues from the 1992 and 1994 GF debacles by Geelong.
Second most clutch moment in AFL history.
Number one:
Massive clutch moment from Sheed that will see his name enter West Coast folklore. Loved it.
Buckenara’s is up there. If there’s a countdown clock on tv there, you’re thinking it’s game over. The ball gets up the other end bloody quickly, Stynes runs across the mark, the campaigner of a timekeeper doesn’t take his hand off the siren and the crowds going bananas. He just slots it.
2 minutes to go. Clean rebound -> i50. 2 contested marks, measured passes and the boundary line set shot. Collingwood's midfield were streaming forward when Treloar went i50; they didn't have time to flood back.Staggering that Collingwood allowed it to happen.
Which makes it all the more sweeter. And clutchier.
First you say you can name 100 better than Sheeds, then you put forward a guy who literally just grabbed the ball and kicked it over his shoulder.Rather than me type up 1000 better moments in history. Can you explain how it's better than Nick Malcheski's goal?
Piss off Ablett in the 94 Prelim. Got a bath all day off Martyn, North not only kicked themselves out of it, but copped a royal jibbing off the umpires. It was a floaty nothing kick from Tudor that fell in Ablett's arms.
The only moment I can think of that's worth talking about in the same breath as Sheed's is Twiggy Dunne's mark and goal to draw the 77 Grand Final.
Sheed's kick was far more difficult, but Twiggy had to do a lot more to get his shot. Both so late in the game.
I'd forgotten about the Dunne kick. Great example.Sheed could be forgiven for missing. Twiggy kicks his with less than 30 seconds to go. Using a flat punt. Twiggy had to kick it and couldn't afford to miss. That's clutch.
I'm ashamed to admit I switched off with three minutes left, teams usually hold on to win with that little time left in a grand final.
When my sis who was at the game sent me a text after the Sheed goal 'HOLY s**t I HOPE WE HOLD ON'.When did you turn it back on?
Lol I was sitting up in the members and when you guys had that series of set shots throughout the last quarter it was far to intense for me to bare so I covered my eyes for all the shots and they all missed. Worked perfectly. Then when Sheed was about to take his shot I thought ‘well it’s not over yet but there’s no way he’s kicking this’ so I decided to watch. And watched the ****ing think sail right through the middle. Still blame myself for not covering my eyesCouldn't believe he was going the drop punt. Was behind the goals where he kicked it and still don't understand how it went through

Yeah, happy to have helpedLwe appreciate your sacrifice.
LOL, I can laugh now.It’s hard to reconcile how Sheed slots it from that angle and in that context, and moments later Darling has quite possibly the worst fumble in footballing history in the goalsquare.
You are the dumbest campaigner I have ever seen on these forumsLol you're making me laugh man. That Ablett moment will forever be more clutch than Dom Sheeds goal. Just watch them both it's like chalk and cheese. Even if it was for 4pts or an AFL-X trophy.
I could easily name 1000 better clutch moments in AFL history if we're considering all Finals games or any game that's season ending.
Not taking anything away from Dom Sheeds moment (which I myself consider extremely average) but this thread goes to show how much of a factor recent events muddle with appropriate rankings.
If he’d missed it the game would have gone differently and it never would have happened.If he missed it, Jack Darling would’ve been drawn and quartered
So obvious isn't it?
Ablett was under pressure and Sheed was playing against no one. Sheed was a loose man Bucks didn't waste time with. Whereas the whole team of North was on Ablett like a Ryan Crowley.
It's mainly the fact Abletts moment was self made by Ablett. Sheed was just insert any random player in this position. Even Billie Smedts could've done that and basically did do that in games.
