We all know them. Teams having a win in the H&A season and carrying on like pork chops. Or that certain player who kicks a goal when the game is well over and wags his finger like a Wiggle.
It's time to vote on the biggest disproportionate celebrations from 2012.
Here is the list of candidates.
1. Melbourne v Essendon
The first candidate comes from round 10. Melbourne's first win of the year. I'll admit it, I was pretty pumped too, though that aside, I didn't carry on as if my team had just won a preliminary final. Might be a bit rich in the context of things, but it was disproportionate.
2. Eddie Betts
Betts is a candidate each and every year. Doesn't matter how many goals Carlton are behind with the game is well and over, Betts is guaranteed to kick a cheap one and carry on like he's kicked the match winner in the GF.
3. Geelong v Hawthorn
Well documented in the Bay. The only thing Geelong supporters got out of 2012. Let's recap. Geelong jumped Hawthorn and got out to a 51 point lead. That's nearly nine goals. Hawthorn hits the lead though due to an error of judgement by Puopolo and a great passage of play, Geelong wins after the siren from a Hawkins' goal. That's right, the folowing photos are from a home and away win in which a 51 point lead was given up. You'd think they'd leave the ground sheepish, rather than celebrating like it was a grand final. Actually, I don't recall photos like this from the 09 and 12 GF victories. Sad.
