Western Bulldogs - Inspirational Goals

[bornadog]

Watching this video (Thanks to Als Videos), I thought to myself, we haven't seen many better inspirational goals than this one over the years. Can you remember any games where a goal was kicked and it inspired the whole team like Woods captain goal at a vital stage of the game.

Steven Kolynuik. Collingwood. Graeme Wright. MCG. 1990. Magnificent.

Granty's against Essendon in super-flood wasn't too shabby either

How good was Dickson's workrate to run ahead of the ball to get Stringer's release?

This was the first that sprang to mind:

Wood's other goal against Sydney last year

Stringer's 45 metre snap against Gold Coast last year. His work leading up to the goal was excellent. It put us within reach and the whole team seemed to lift after it.

We won. Johnno's 5th in his 300th against the Crows wasn't bade either.

[Dancin' Douggy]

Gee Bonti got dudded that year. Goal of the year and rising star awards. Both should have been his.

Johnno's 5th in his 300th against the Crows wasn't bade either.

I think all of Johnno's goals were inspirational as it was his 300th which made them all special.

[Axe Man]

Monty in the 2006 Elimination final v Collingwood after being knocked out by Brodie Holland at the opening bounce. Picked himself up to kick the first goal of the game less than 5 minutes later (the first of 4 goals for the day).

The goal itself was nothing amazing but it doesn't get much more inspirational than that.

The Anthony Hudson commentary - so good!

[Twodogs]

Steve McPherson against Hawthorn in the wet at Whitten oval in 1985 to sew up a finals spot. It must have gone 50 metres with a sodden ball right on the siren.

[Ghost Dog]

Any of the goals in our 1954 premiership win, obviously!

Thanks for posting Sedat. Never tire of watching this clip. One of the greatest goals kicked at the G. I was building a deck and listening to the game on 3LO. There were snow flurries it was that cold late in the day; a treasured memory. Billy the Kid - remember the name all those who missed out on seeing him play because those of us who did see him play will never forget him.

This is definitely one of my favorites!

What about Paul Hudson and Luke Darcy at Kardinia Park in the late 90s or early 2000s. Ball bouncing out of bounds. Huddo flings a foot at it and hooks the ball back over his shoulder into the waiting arms of Luke Darcy all by himself in the goalsquare. All of a sudden everything went right for us and we went from six goals down 20 minutes into the second quarter to level at halftime. It was beautiful , the crowd was stunned.

I might wear YT out watching that one.
Dickson did well to be involved twice in that scoring chain. Also did well not to be pinged for throwing! Good work!
Really liked getting all the commentary flavours on that clip. With Robert Walls as comedic value at the end adding mirth if you are mean like me and like to laugh at demented old footballers.

Have a listen to the fantastic commentary by Bruce - just the right level of excitement but always professional and on point. It is light years away from the excruciating caricature he has morphed into today.

Couldn't agree more Sedat. Loved Peter McKenna and Don Scott's contributions too.

I thought I knew the one you're referring to, but some of the details aren't the way I remember it, so maybe we are thinking of different moments. What I remember is a match against Geelong in round 17, 1999. We were 26 points down with seven minutes remaining and we won by seven points after we kicked the final five six goals of the match.

One of those five goals we scored was almost identical to how you explained it. The ball was going out of bounds in the forward pocket. Hudson met the ball on the volley with his right boot just as the ball was practically level with the boundary line, and utilised his soccer skills by crossing the ball with precision on top of Darcy's head who was about 35m from goal directly in front (not quite in the goal square as you mentioned).

The 2001 and 2002 games both produced comebacks like you mentioned, but Hudson wasn't on our list in 2002 so if you're talking about a different game it would have been 2001 (although I have this game on DVD and can't remember seeing something similar).

Besides, Darcy didn't kick a goal in that 2001 match :)
