Favourite Wizard Moment

[dees01]

Now that he is gone what are you favourite memories of this excitement machine?

1. 1995/1996?? v Adelaide: It was at the MCG and he took a mark 10 metres out right in front. Anyone would go for goal but no, he handpasses it straight to Garry Lyon who just happened not to be looking and it hit him right in the back of the head. The expression on the coach was priceless. Unfortunatly I was not there to see it.

2. 1998 v Hawthorn Another game I missed but saw it on TV. At Waverley Wizard ran from the defensive 50, giving off several handballs as he ran along members wing ran all the way dobbed it from 55 out on a tight angle. Goal of the Year!

3. 1998 v Richmond. THAT MARK, he took. Flew higher than Joe Cocker. Best mark I have ever seen.

4. 2000 v Collingwood. When he kicked 9 goals in the second half after being on the bench for a lot of the first half. An amazing performance which unfortunatly I did not see.

 

[DEES RULE!]

*Adam pauses to shed a tear*........ yeah, so many good memories.

That mark he took against Richmond, I was in the members stand right behind the flight of it, and it looked sensational the first time, and it still looks sensational on the Hotter than Hell Video!!

Couple of moments I may add.

1. vs Adelaide in 98 final where he kicked McLeod's ass in the first quarter by kicking three on him!! Shows just how good he is!

2. 2000 games at Colonial against Freo (I hate them more than ever now) and WCE, where he kicked bags of 8, including some of those freakish goals. Priceless to watch.

CFH.

[Spidergirl~RiCkChiCk]

gotta be when Wizard stuck in up the Bulldogs cheersquad and a majority of their players too hehe in that final game at Colonial this year. That was the wizard on fire at his best aww and im gonna miss his sweaty high fives at the race too

oh and of course that was a bl00dy legendary perfrmance by him against Collingwood that time it's just couldn't he have plz done that the week after or something.

Definitely the 9 2nd half goals vs the Pies last year.

His 8 vs the Roos in last years prelim on Pickett.

That goal vs the Hawkers at Waverley.

That mark vs the Tiges at the G.

His spanking of McLeod in the 98 Quali

I rate perfomance in finals as the difference between the good an the awesome.

I so agree!

I hope Wiz doesn't lose his magic, although he lost his team!

He is one hell of a magician I mean who else can set 50,000 people at the G on fire and leave them smiling?!

My favourite Wizard moment was a few weeks ago, when he quit the club. Sorry, just kidding.

Thank you so much for bathing my wounds ... in vinegar! I am incredibly upset about this. He wanted to move on for the good of his family. Someone should have told him that when you play footy, the fans are your family.

alright i'll tell him that if you tell his 6 year old girl and 4 year old son that their dad won't be home every night to read them a bed time story coz he is out playing football!

98 mark vs richmond and goal vs hawks

 

[PerfectFooty]

[Demon Attack]

Handball to Gaz's back in the goal square

98 mark vs richmond and goal vs hawks

Worse than playing for Freo?

Aren’t we all so funny?

Obligatory '9 goals in a quarter and a half against Collingwood' mention.

Possibly the most insane performance in VFL/AFL history as he barely touched the ball for the first 70 minutes of the game.

Eight goals in the 2000 Prelim another legendary performance. Nobody kicks 8 goals in Prelims or Grand Finals, let alone a small forward.
