    Only one highlight needed

    Put it on loop for the rest of your life

    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    My favourite bulldog moment ever.

      There's one from the 1913 Grand Final (I'm serious!) when Art Gregory grabs the ball out of the ruck late in the game and kicks what sounds like a great goal that puts us a point in front. There was just time for North to attack one more time during which the crowd "screamed maniacally" which Footscray repelled before they rang the bell.

      There's a great quote about "Grown men acting like children"
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Good call. Still love it. The run, tackle, swoop on the ball, BANG! from about 60m...the whole bloody thing.

          The greatest single moment of football I've ever seen. Ever.

          And it happened in our colours. Be still my beating heart.

          Tom Boyd will always be my spiritual Norm Smith. What a game.

            It's the defining moment in our history. The veteran laying a desperate tackle that will be replayed for a hundred years, it's the Leo Barry mark, the Wayne Harmes tap of the modern era. And the young bull who earn't his annual salary with one sweet, sweet kick.

            It's the single biggest moment in our history.

              It is surely a moment in football that will stay with me forever.

              I found some footage I hadn't seen before. From the straight on angle it looks like it's going for the points and somehow (footy gods) it straightens up.

                A magic moment from Tom Boyd, but let us not forget the unbelievable effort from Morris with a great desperate tackle on Buddy to help set it up.

                  Two desperate tackles. Moz stopped Buddy then had to getup and go again.

                              Tom Boyd is a beast - McLean on his back, he keeps running like there is a fly on his shoulder. The moment I knew we had the GF in the bag.
