Top 5 Moments of season 2010

[LostDoggy]

Because I did this thread in 2009 and since no one has started a thread for 2010, I thought I may as well

5) The loss of Cooney for finals. Really could of helped if we had him in the Prelim...

4) Barry Hall NOT punching someone! Cop that Media!

3) Emphatic win over Freo after the week that the club had, after the termination of Jason Akermanis' footballing career.

2) Coming back from 5 goals down to beat Sydney in a cut-throat Semi-Final at the MCG. It proved that we weren't done with and will not go down without a fight! Also, cause I got on tv again

1) The NAB Cup Win. Sure it wasn't the big one, but it was our first silverware since the 60's and I thought it was worth celebrating. The cheers of ''Baaaaarrryyyyyy!!! Baaaaarrryyyyyy!!!'' still gets me excited!

What do you guys think? Whats your Top 5 moments from 2010?

I would have Cooney's injury in my bottom 5 of 2010. Loved seeing Dale Morris return after only 3 weeks from a severed spinal cord. Tough.

Maybe it's meant as in major moments of the year?

Thanks Sophie. I guess sarcasm still doesn't translate very well in forums, even when it's obvious.

1. Watching Johnno play in the semi final.

Re: Top 5 Moments of season 2010

Two points, one general and one specific:

1. Griff breaking the lines running to 50 and kicking a goal (not a point). Significant improvement on 2009

2. Liams goal from the pocket against Freo, my undoubted highlight of the year. I love you Liam

Re: Top 5 Moments of season 2010

5 Hall sticking it up talkback drones and the media
4. The club giving that potty mouth thin skinned meglomaniac the arse
3. Great comeback win against Sydney
2. The NAB Cup (at least some silverware in the cabinet)
1. Dale Morris and his gutsy effort coming back from a broken back(be nice just for once he didn't get hurt for the big games)

[LostDoggy]

Re: Top 5 Moments of season 2010

1. The Headlock
2. The Flu
3. The Comeback (Semi-Final in Sydney)
4. The Rampage (Gia's elite 30+ possession games 3 weeks in a row)
5. The Miss (Gia again, vs. St. Kilda in our 3 point loss early in the season that would have sealed the game)

Top moment against us:

Rioli's Revenge -- Cyril in one of his only good games of the year being untackleable and kicking everything against us.

Re: Top 5 Moments of season 2010

1. Winning finals in any season is a highlight, and the manner of our win against Sydney was all the more meritorious - it was the first genuinely close final that we've actually ended up on the winning side of the ledger since 1961. Must have been at least 6-7 tight finals that we've ended up losing in that time so the relief to actually get over the line in a real dogfight was very satisfying.

2. I normally don't rate NAB Cup but when it is the only silverware I've seen us win in my lifetime, you enjoy it.

3. Round 19 v Adelaide victory at AAMI - terrific, gutsy effort with half the team flu-riddled. Our best H&A win for the season.

4. Round 9 v North at Etihad. I do love a bit of argy bargy at the football, and we got plenty of niggle in this game. Very enjoyable day at the footy.

5. Round 17 v Freo at Etihad. Very predictable outcome given the Akermanis fall-out but a complete performance all the same - we actually looked premiership material from Rounds 12-19 (admittedly against poorer opposition) with the only blemish coming against Hawthorn by under a kick, but injury and illness really put the brakes on our momentum.
