Kent Kingsley at AAMI Stadium one hit the post 5 metres out.
Also Benny Holland at Optus Oval last year, same distance. He must never be allowed near our forward 50 again

2 from Malcolm Blight.
As shown on the latest Toyota ad, he once ran into an open goal, no one within 20 metres of him, but he got confused and ran in and kicked to the wrong side of the post.
Against Hawthorn, he once kicked a point to tie the scores, but received a push in the back. The umpire gave him the option of another kick,to which he agreed. The siren went. So, trailing by one point. 25m out directly in front, a goal to win, a point to draw, he then kicked the ball off the side of his boot and out on the full. Hawks by 1 point.
Lings was a shocker
Mercuri missed from inside the goalsquare and Lloyd missed a free kick from the top of the goal square in the last quarter of the 1999 Preliminary Final, a game which Essendon lost by 1 point to Carlton. It's hard to think of 2 easier kicks which missed but proved more costly.

Can't remember what year or who it was against (Hawks possibly?) but Simon Eishold (Can't remember how to spell his name either) missed from about 2 metres out in a final.
I think it may have been the infamous Jim Stynes game, but it was a ****ing shocker

Don't think Mercuri was in the goalsquare. He was more like 20 metres out and it was quite a quick snap at goals
Jon Dorotich not only missed the goals from 10 meters out slight angle against Richmond in the early 90's, but he actually missed the ball all together. As he was about to kick, he somehow stubbed his toe on the ground then made some slight contact with the ball, and the kick failed to reach the man on the mark little own score .
Hilarious!!!

Bingo! Worst miss ever.
1987 Preliminary Final. Dees up by a couple of points, a minute to go.
Simon Eishold takes a great overhead mark on the edge of the goal square, 2 metres out from goal. Umpire puts him on a bit of an angle, not too bad though. His chance to be a hero and put Melbourne into the Grand Final, he is overcome by nerves however and shanks the ball at right angles straight through for a point.
Tony Campbell and Graeme Yeats also missed two shots on the run from 30m out directly in front that also would've sealed this game. Funny how the Dee fans always tried to blame the umpires for this loss, instead of blaming 3 of the worst misses ever.
Two from a while back,
Wayne the Dominator Johnstone ran into an open goal at full pace and looked to have kicked a goal from an inch and celebrated as such.The goal umpire signalled a point and everyone was wondering what was going on.The replay showed he kneed it.
Shane Morwood kicked out of bounds on the full from straight in front and 1 centimetre out.He was running in at an angle and tried to do a checkside but stuffed it.Collingwood must have been winning because he and his team mates burst out laughing.

I'll go with Tony Modra. Took an absolute hanger (again) over Mick Martyn in the goalsquare. Lands and decides to kick it there and then, instead of going back. Skies the ball and in the process hits the post. From no more than 2 feet from goal, he showboatingly kicks a behind. Clap Clap. Otherwise he was an absolute gun.
Not an AFL one, but pretty funny at the time so thought I would add.
We were at the local park with about 20 mates, Chris had left his opponent and the ball is kicked to him in the open goal square with the closet person 40 metres away. He takes the mark and runs to the goal. Just before he kicks the ball he turns and raises the ball to show the rest of us (being a typical smartass). As he raises the ball he slips in the mud, falls on his backside, the ball falls out of his hands and over the goal line!!
The rest of us cracked ourselves up as he made a complete idiot of himself.
Wish it was on tape to send to Trev for Almost Football Legends.
