However, I have scored a couple of buzzer beaters - those ones when you know where with just seconds left on the clock, if you don't kick it, the game's gone.

It was against Salisbury West last year @ Brahma Lodge. Down by 6 points I took a mark about 45 out on a near impossible angle ( Truth be told i was probably 30m out and on a 60-70 degree angle). 5 seconds after taking the mark the siren went. So went back through me normal routine. Off the boot i thought it was a goal and was ready to celebrate but at the last minute it started to move right. The final 3 seconds felt like forever until it banged stright in to the goal post. I lost the gamr for the team by 5 pts.
To make matters worse this was on ANZAC day (Our biggest day) and we had visitors from a motorcycle club that day to present our best on ground medal. At the presentation thay asked who had kicked the point and that they wanted to have a quiet chat with me outside. may have done a little poo at that time.
That game pretty much summed up our season.

There was maybe a minute to go and we were 17 points down when Christies gave away a free kick in our goalsquare.

The ball came our way from the centre and I was thinking no way, this s*** always happens to us (we're used to being on the losing end), we can't get another goal out of this... and our full forward kicked it from +50 on the siren, straight through for a goal. All of us who were watching went berserk and invaded the oval. It was our equivalent of the Grand Final. In the end we kicked something like 10.6 to 3.3 in the last quarter - effectively doubling our score from 3/4 time.
Couldn't believe it, therefore, when upon our second meeting with Christies, they were leading us convincingly all day, we came back in the last and won after the siren again, this time by three points!!! That stuff ain't scripted. Two brilliant days - made the rest of the year worth it.
PS. After that first game, I went back to the scoreboard and heckled those kids. Very childish, particularly as I was there with my own kids, but immeasurably satisfying.

Eyre United player was apparently awarded a free kick or mark (unsure which) about 70m out and the siren blew. He lined up for a big torp and it went off the side of the boot and was probably going to go out of bounds - but - a United Yeelanna player decided to punch the ball which then set in on course towards the goals and trickled through for a point - and so Eyre United won their only game for the year by 1 point.
Now - I always thought that the ball kicked after the siren was "dead" once touched but apparently not. I was told the unpires checked this before the awarding the win.
Needless to say - big big celebrations at Eyre United on Saturday night!!!!!
Classic!!!!

They were two of the best games ive been apart of, you wouldn't believe it unless u were there. It was the same bloke who kicked both the goals to win those games. Gun full forward

Not so sure BG- The Hawthorn v Gold Coast game on the weekend had Clinton Young from the Hawks try his luck with a barrel from about 70 out after one of the sirens (half time?)- one of the young Gold Coasters punched it through for a point which counted.
