Worst Miss?

[Redlegs14]

Andrew Jarman in the 1993 Prelim v Essendon.

Was at the top of the goalsquare and he completely stuffed it.

To this day I still believe he cost us the flag.

.....Big Anthony didn't score from the goal square/line after a mark in the 2002 boilover win against Port Adelaide in the Qualifying Final at AAMI Stadium......

Compensated for by Peter Burgoyne's brain snap when he marked about 2 metres out, tried to play on, and was caught holding the ball. I still wake up screaming.

Whats The Worst Miss At Goal That You Have Ever Seen In an AFL Game?

Roger Merrett at the Gabba 1 metre from goal and 100 metres in the clear showboating, he putted it along the ground, it bounced unpredictably and missed for a behind.

Can't remember the year or the round, but the whole stadium (all 5,000 of us ) rolled around in hysteric laughter.

I'm talking about Andrew Jarman, not Darren.

Darren Jarman was playing for Hawthorn in 1993.

I've seen plenty but there's a Joel MacDonald one that stands out. At the Gabba against the Dons in 2005, he is only 10 metres from the goal and he tries to kick the ball in a fancy way. The ball just keeps rolling and rolling and the ball hits the post. No defenders around and he fucks that shot up. Stooge!

From Melbourne there have been a few shockers.
One that really pissed me off was against Essendon Round 1 2005, early in the last we're 8 goals up and looking to ice the game, Davey burns off 2-3 opponents, picks it up and hits the post from 15 out. The ball actually bounced off the goal post and into the point post, so from one angle it actually looks like he hit the point post on the full.

I'm surprised no one has mention Corey McKernan's effort in 1999 against Port Adelaide. Stormed into an open goal and tried to slam it over the Great Southern Stand from about a metre out. Came off the side of the boot and whilst it ended high in the stand, it wasn't even close to a goal. 10 minutes later he slotted one from the boundary 50m out. Typical McKernan.

That was quite honestly from under a metre out and nearly went out on the full if its the one I'm thinking of.

I think I remember it too - wondering to myself how he ever managed to get the most Brownlow votes in a season... very good player some days, but others...

 

[The Twilight Zone]

I remember a Sydney Ruckman who ended up getting sacked for being over weight, his name escapes me at the moment, but he missed a set shot goal from about 20m out directly in front against the lions in the closing minutes and it cost the swannies the game.

That was Ricky Mott against Essendon, as mentioned before.

Jude Bolton twice in the first Q in the 2006 GF. Dead set choked, then proceeded to play a shocker for the rest of the game. Not happy.

 

[freo1]

shouldnt this just be called the rowan jones thread?

 

[lost_20]

Well, the most recent one I can think of is against Collingwood. I think Didak kicked the ball on the run and it hit the post and Mick Malthouse blew his lid haha. I still laugh at that today, even though we lost. Motlop was bad too . Has anyone made a thread about funniest Coach tantrums??

 

[The Passenger]

anyone got any vision of these?? youtube??

Scott Burns, not Didak. Didak buried us shortly afterwards.

Another not the worst but comical.
James Cook when playing for the Dogs takes a mark 40 metres out and the siren goes to end the quarter.
Ump lines him up on a getable angle and Cook proceeds to run around the mark in an attempt to better the angle.
Ump blows the whistle to end the quarter.

Rhyce Shaw in 2009 against Adelaide. TAKE A BOW.

He's got the goal nearly open, all he has to do is kick it 2m out on a tight angle, instead kicks it 45 metres away from the goal. Absolutely brilliant.

One for Melbourne unfortunately, Jamar takes a mark in the goalsquare with two Bombers around him, DECIDED TO PLAY ON! Only to hit it of his instep (JUST) and see a Bomber rush it.

Russell Robertson (Also Melbourne) a few years ago, takes a HANGER 1m out from goal against Hawthorn, and decides to play on and attempt to kick a goal from 1.45cm out (while on the ground), but forgot about the Hawthorn defender standing there at the time.

 

[Connor7395]

Remember this from Port Adelaide last year? It's not a miss, but it's VERY FUNNY!

5 seconds to go in the first quarter, Shaun Burgoyne marks and has an open goal to run into, the siren sounds just as he enters the goalsquare, before he had the chance to goal.

What's all this digging of old threads?

Cameron Mooney. 2008 Grand Final. On the half-time siren, missed from about 2 metres on a slight angle. Geelong would have been in front.

EPIC Failure.

I loved it!

Wanganeen hitting the post in the 96 prelim.
