How good would it have been if 2 players had kicked 100 goals in the 150th season of the game in the same game and we had 2 ground invasions
I was there.....Classic moments worth revisiting because nobody will believe it....

Zaharakis winning goal in 09 Anzac Day.

Cancelled
As a neutral it was a ripper.
The effect of McKenna getting taken out by Tuddys friendly fire before half time was only fully comprended a quarter or so later. Jezza started playing up the ground from memory and i think his mark of the millennium was taken far from home near the wing?
My mother a die hard pie couldnt handle the despair of that loss and forfuitously for her my ol man convinced her to switch to the hawks and she got a payout the very next year, and coincidentally another champ ff got taken out, by enemy rather than friendly fire. Those were the days.
Wasn't at the game but remember listening to the game on the radio at home and was shocked.

I was just a young kid back then. Dad had the radio on when it was announced, in the car. He had to pull over. I didnt understand the big deal at first.
I was there in 1979 when Stan Magro shirtronted Jezza, on the outer wing at Princess Park, just in front of where i was standing. The incident left Jezza knocked out cold and saw him rushed to St Vincent’s Hospital, where coincidentally his wife was, after giving birth to their third child a few days earlier.

Had to pull over? Fair enough, i myself probably would have kept driving but this is before my time
Was at the 1999 Prelim, got a ticket for like 25 bucks and sat behind goals at punt road end.
Still remember Mercuri hitting the post and all the Essendon supporters around me going apeshit and I had the duty/honour of telling them he missed.

I was at Waverley when Dunstall kicked 17 goals against the Tigers, when we came back from being 60+ points down against St Kilda. I was also at Fitzroys last training session at Waverley and the last game ever at Waverley.

Round 5 1998 Richmond vs West Coast a Friday night game at the MCG and Scott Turner delivered the biggest bump I've ever seen to Dean Kemp.
Remember the game being held up for the longest time as they treated Kemp on the ground before finally taking him off.

Zaharakis Anzac Day goal. Reckon I nearly burst a lung celebrating it.
The crowd noise from that goal was absolutely incredible.

Was at the line in the sand match back in 04. Was staring right at Campbell Brown as he completely dog shotted Winderlich as he was being helped off the ground by trainers. One of the most cowardly acts I've seen on a football field and wasn't picked up by cameras.

Was there too but didn't see this unfold, lloyd always touches on it too so it must've been a shocker.. care to elaborate??
Yes I was at that match too cant believe i forgot lol.
Was sitting on the wing about few rows back from the fence saw the brawl right in front of me was hectic.
Haha I was celebrating so hard that I busted a few blood vessels in my throat lols. I was behind the goals when he kicked It that roar was ******* load that the stands were vibrating.
and it was the Grand Final
was that the bump Foster's used for their 'how to speak Australian' ad campaign back then?

Haha yeah I was exactly the same, throat was absolutely butchered for about a week afterwards!
And yeah you can see the footage/camera itself actually shaking in the aftermath of the goal, ahh what a moment
James Hirds winning goal in 04 against West Coast was at that game too. The last qrt from Hird was incredible won the game off his own boot.

This is a good post.
Misdirection is a skill utilised rarely on bigfooty, at least compared to other boards on the internet.

Was wondering that last night, if someone kicks their 100th goal in the gf you can still invade the ground right? Wonder if it has ever happened before?
Gil would go all high and mighty that on the spot fines would be issued, double than normal because its a GF
... but we all know that fans will still jump the fence for the moment... perhaps it wouldn't be as bad as the AFL would fear since a big chunk of the crowd at the GF are corporates anyway and wouldn't dare to run onto the field
with footy being more defensive tactics than it was in decades past, kicking a ton in today's game is pretty special... for it to happen in a GF would be out of this world and a talking point for many years thereafter...
I remember a Richmond-Melbourne match I went to many years ago (James Cook was playing for Melbourne, which gives you some idea). I think it was RD 1 or 2, so the AFL had probably changed a few rules and nobody knew what the ***** was going on.
It was a close game, and in the last quarter, both sets of supporters were getting totally fed up with the umpiring. The mood changed from bewilderment, to frustration, to anger, to outright disgust. The fans were almost fighting over who got the worst decision. Every time the whistle went, everyone stopped, looked at the umps and either (A) Let fly with a massive spray or (B) Shook their head and mumbled 'I got no idea'. Richmond won (less than a goal), and the Dees supporters went completely off - rightfully. (I reckon the AFL sent a quick message down to the umps with 5 minutes to go - because if Richmond had lost, the ferals would have trashed the ground
).
It was so bad that walking out with my mates (all Richmond), we weren't happy, because all that had occurred was we had won a random lucky dip. I've never seen BOTH sets of supporters so upset about the umpiring. And if we had lost - I don't know if we would have been mad or not. It was just a complete waste of attending a football game.
