Goal of the Year - surely nobody will beat that!

[CrowFan77]

Surely Riley Thilthorpe (The Thriller) has stitched up Goal of the Year with that effort last night! Snap over his head to put team in front with one minute to go - and the icing on the cake - HE KICKED IT WITH HIS NON-PREFERRED FOOT!

It’s okay, it won’t be goal of the year.

 

[maskmcgee]

Not even close.

 

[CrowFan77]

Name a better goal this year then.

One of your little blokes kicked a much better goal against us. You know the ‘spin cycle’ one from the left forward pocket boundary line?

 

[Igloo]

Do they often take context of the goal into it anymore? I can't think of any that were slightly less sensational than others but won because of the point of the game.
Weightman kicked one basically exactly the same as Thilthorpe only a couple of weeks ago. There will be plenty better.

For technical skill, kicking a goal over your head from 15ms out isn't that difficult (bit like the Matthew Lloyds back-kick) but given the context of the game it has to be a contender.

Bolton has almost a handful that are at least equal if not better

 

[StonesThrow]

It was fun to watch and a big moment, but not goty.

Is it part of the criteria?

A 200cm kicking over his head on his non-preferred to win the game a minute after missing a set shot is ridiculously impressive and arguably harder to execute than Eddie Betts kicking a dribbled banana half way through a first quarter.

 

[rumply]

Not bad but goty? Unlikely.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

If it had gone three rows back it might have been a chance.

 

[Marmozet]

Wasn't even the best goal this round.

 

[ImissFrosty]

Kozzie Pickett's goal vs St Kilda was better

Off the top of my head, Shai Bolton's goal vs us last weekend.
If I thought more than 5 minutes of game time back I'm sure I could find 30 more.

 

[FrustratedTiger]

Shai Bolton could easily have mark and goal of the year sewn up

 

[dumb]

i would say this is a better goal but it didn't win goal of the year either in 2009 (cyril rioli did) despite stephen quartermain's efforts

did they ever anyway?

 

[Roobs321]

A decisive highlight like that lives on longer than a goty decision anyway. Memorable goal of the year.

Luke Breust used a drop punt to kick a goal from a tight angle.

Not seen that since the 2018 Grand Final.

 

[Atomboy]

Eddie Betts with the one hander has this covered quite comfortably and even that won’t be goal of the year.

 

[Hoops]

Sorry, those with baby poo yellow in their guernsey don't get goty.

 

[MadMundy]

It won't even be top 15 mate.

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

Lucky it went through, though I still reckon he may get a talking to.

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

It won't even be top 15 mate.

Yeah, there is occasionally goofy ass low percentage shots, but they rarely get the win.
