Does anyone have any verified and accurate records of the quickest goals scored from the opening bounce of a game?

Fevola's goal in Round 2, 2003 is recorded at 12 seconds, but watching the video, the ball crosses the goal line at 11 seconds, and then the goal umpire signals at 14 seconds.Those stats seem a bit skewed because its timed when the clock stops. But if you look at the replays both Ablett in 2009 and Danger last year kicked the ball at 19:54 on the clock. So effectively if there was 6 seconds left in the game, the goal would have stood. Cant be possible to do it any faster than that.
I know it wasn't from the opening bounce but Hawthorn did something pretty unbelieveable against Collingwood in 2013. Clock was at 8:23 when they kicked it out of Full-Back and 8 seconds later the ball had left Franklin's boot on its way to a goal. That would have to be the fastest end-to-end goal without looking at any stats
