Best Goal Kicked by a Defender

[The Doctor]

What is the best goal kicked by a defender that you have seen? There have been some beauties

What about this finish by Dale Morris?

How about Easton Wood in the classic v Swans in 2015 at 6.10

My favourite is Brad Hardie v Essendon in 1986 at Windy Hill. Watch from 1.18. Unfortunately it doesn't show the build up from the back pocket where Hardie was involved and kept running to receive and ultimately goal.

Alex Keath's first goal here is a ripper

Hardie 's goal was a ripper Doc. I was there that day. A good win out there.

[Prince Imperial]

Loved that Brad Hardie goal.

Kingsley Hunter won goal of the year with this effort:

Am I doing this right

[Stevo]

Some of JJ's goals out of the back line have been impressive. I'm going to have a look and see if I can add a youtube clip.
Bailey Dale has done it as well

This one from Dale out of the back line at about the 40 sec mark

That?s the one that came to mind, possibly because it?s kinda recent. Agree B Dale, JJ and Gilbee kicked some stunning goals. Hopefully JJ has some more. If he reaches good form this year and can play most matches (especially finals, gotta think positive) it will really help our chances to bring the cup to WO.

The Keath goal is great, especially due to his need to tell the students to settle down after copping a head butt from Naughton.

With you on JJ. If his body can hold up he's got plenty of excellent footy in him and will be integral to us having a better year.

[Vred]

Keath goal should not only have been goal of the week, but goal of the year, incredible effort and he was 500% robbed.

[jDogs]

Whenever I watch a replay of the GF, I skip the bit where they review JJ's goal, so I pretend that it was a goal.

[Grantysghost]

You know I've never watched a replay.


I think I like just remembering the live moments.

I heard you like to watch the 2021 grand final on a weekly basis.

Have you seen that scene in the davinci code? It serves a purpose.

The thing I love about that Grand Final is that it felt like all of our players got their little bit of time in the sun.

So as much as we wuz robbed on JJ's goal, if it had been allowed then Roughead wouldn't have taken that absolutely towering mark straight afterwards and he wouldn't have had his moment in the sun.

I'm ok with it.

[jazzadogs]

The answer is Keath. He went from one end to the other with three separate efforts and then kicked a 40m snap after a fend off.

The other goals are all running defenders...they're almost expected to kick goals. Keathy is not expected to kick goals.

[Grantysghost]

Naughton for sure. Can't remember which game exactly. Lets just say the ones where he doesn't kick it out on the full like he has a pole where the sun don't shine.

That's an absolute ripper.
