Toast What is the best 5 minute burst of individual footy brilliance you have seen?

Melbourne are a long way off Geelong in 2023 I reckon. I think we could be shot to be honest.
Mate don't be so negative. Oliver, Petracca and Lever should be reaching their prime by now and you'd assume we'll see a couple more A-grade seasons from Gawn and May. If Brown and Tmac are fit, our forwardline should function much better than it did last year. And I don't think that Grundy is a downgrade on Jackson at all.
 
Just a bit over 5 minutes of Boomer at his best. Turned this game on its head and secured a spot in September for us.


Boomer seemed to produce at least one brilliant burst every game against my mob.

One of those fellas who were a pleasure to watch

Davis for mine stood out.

Though, I love Gray.

Gray 5 in a Showdown Qtr


Gray 4 vs Freo in a Final to change the game
 
Probably Dew in 2008.

Made the most of the qualities he had which were skill, composure and great decision making.

Phil "Snake" Baker kicked 3 goals in five minutes in the 2nd quarter of the 1978 Grand Final.
Goals at the 22, 23, and 27 minute marks.
 
Scott Lycett owns this thread in reverse. So many 5 many periods of massive incompetence leading to losses.
 
What has no one posted this video? Only 3 minutes of game time to destroy the cats so maybe he ineligible


How's the commentator fat-shaming Dew after he kicks his second.
Ripper video :thumbsu:
 
Would have to be Glenn Freeborn in the second quarter of the 96 Grand Final! Single handedly turned the match, what a star. “Here come North Melbourne!” Glorious

Malcolm Blight vs Carlton at Princes Park 1976. Three goals in three minutes including an 80m torp after the siren to win North the game. An unbeatable moment in footy history that gets shown constantly nearly 50 years later.

I know it says individual brilliance in the title of this thread but I try to avoid thinking about 5 minute bursts of any sort these days. JB screaming "bang bang bang!" runs in my head on repeat.
 
Lockett would have plenty of quarters where he booted 4 or more goals in quick succession. Only issue St Kilda were a pretty bad team and struggled to win despite his heroics up forward.
 
Corey Mckernan second qtr 99GF
 
Bruce Lindner against the swans at SCG in 1987. Did nothing for three quarters and then just exploded from about the ten minute mark of the final quarter. Kicking goals, taking marks on the last line of defense, was everywhere and did everything to turn around a near five goal deficit.
I was going to say LIndner as well.

He was just in everything, everywhere.
 
Not probably eligible because his biggest burst was two in 5 minutes but Jeremy Cameron kicked 3 in about 11 minutes and 4.7 and a couple of other pieces of brilliance in 17 minutes in that round 3 comeback against Collingwood last year. That’s a recent one that sticks out for being a lot of impact in a short time but yeah probably not compressed enough
 

I'll see you and raise you Reggie Miller vs NY Knicks.

1995, Game 1, Conference Finals, Madison Square Garden
Pacers 6 pts down, 17 secs to play,

Reggie hits a quick 3, intercepts the deflected inbound pass, steps outside the line, hits another 3 to tie the game, then grabs a rebound after 2 missed Knicks free throws, is fouled, then hits 2 free throws of his own.
8 points. 9 seconds of game time.

Watched it a million times. Still in awe.
