Kicks for goal after the final siren

Re: Kicks for goal after the final siren

I was pretty dirty on his effort against Norf, I thought that was a very gettable shot irrespective of the pressure.

Should have nailed that one.

In the Geelong match he was about to play on and widen the angle but the umpire stopped him because he knew the siren was about to sound. Whether he had time to kick it is doubtful. The actual shot was at a difficult angle. I was at ground level right behind him.

That game was actually a fantastic match as we were behind the whole game and early on it looked like we were going to be thrashed. Geelong were lucky to get away with it.

Re: Kicks for goal after the final siren

Interestingly enough, the game in which Steve MacPherson kicked a goal to draw the game against North Melbourne was the second week in a row that he had the final kick in a game to influence the result. The week before this game, scores were all tied up vs Sydney Swans at the Western Oval. Conditions were very wet and heavy. With seconds to go, SuperMac swooped on the hit out from a boundary throw in on our half forward line, slammed the ball on his boot and it promptly sailed through for a point on the siren. Win to the Bulldogs by one point. Yay!

The one where he scrambled through a point actually ties up the game at 4.11.35 to 5.5.35 - leaving us with a draw (in 1991).

The game where we beat North Melbourne by 2 points was a year earlier.

Re: Kicks for goal after the final siren

My memory is a bit fuzzy but the round 22 1998 game against North that decided top spot. We lost by 2 points and in my mind James Cook had a shot after the siren and tried to play on from outside the boundary line only to be told by the umpire that the ball was dead because the siren had gone. Was that 3/4 time or fulltime?

I seem to remember that happening at 1/4 time versus Richmond, I could be wrong.

The 98 North game we lost by 5 points, Cook gave away a pretty stupid 50 meter penalty to give North a goal to level the scores late in the game, before Shannon Grant and Harvey sealed the game for them with goals. Bubba kicked a late goal on the run in the last minute.

This was a cracker of a game and the atmosphere was amazing.

This one was actually at the Docklands. Johnno's 300th game.

Geez, Josh Hill looked good that day.....kind of like how he looks now that he plays for West Coast!

I'm sure it won't last

Re: Kicks for goal after the final siren

My favourite, not sure if it was after the siren but i remember Peter Landys call
"Beasley sends out the word".
Beaser kicked the goal to beat Collingwood after intercepting a pass from Gubby Allen and Jimmy Edmond telling Gubby what a dill he was.
Beating Collingwood by 100 points doesnt beat defeating them by less than a goal.

Funnily enough, a week ago I was chatting Bulldogs with the guy at the Greek deli at the Vic Market who follows the one true faith, and an older gentleman entered the conversation and said he grew up supporting us, and that his son played for a few teams including Sunshine and the Pies. Turns out that he was Gubby Allen's dad, so of course we had a laugh about the 84 game... (He no longer goes for us, but I said it was never too late to take out a membership!)

Beasley's kick was before the siren.

Thanks for the youtube clip, it's fantastic to watch it again. I now work with McKenna, but hardly saw him play, so it's fun to get some vision of him as well.

While it seemed the AFL was intent on getting a GF between St Kilda and Geelong in 2009, it was pretty clear to me that the most entertaining GF would have been between ourselves and the Cats. Football was played at a ridiculously high level in our home and away encounters that year, and Johnno had the chance to have us positioned as the only side to beat the Cats twice in a season for a while. It was a tough shot though, and I still think he might have done better with a drop punt of the instep rather than a banana.

The qualifying final between ourselves and the Cats in 2009 was a disgrace. We were nothing short of pathetic in the first half and IMO we clearly had their measure by that stage of the season. Our chances to make a GF were seriously hampered that day, as St Kilda were always going to be the harder of the preliminary finalists to play, due to their style.

Sometimes I hate being a Bulldogs member.

Re: Kicks for goal after the final siren

In 1944 in the last game of the year Harry Hickey kicked a point after the siren against Carlton to leapfrog us over the Blues into fourth spot. We had to win but a draw would have seen Carlton finish fourth. Hickey took a mark 40 metres out and the siren went. With the scores level he took his kick and scored a point.


I found this Wiki page while I was researching Hickey's kick;

Really interesting stuff.

Re: Kicks for goal after the final siren

Did anyone mention Ashley Sampi's kick after the siren at Subiaco in 2003 against us? We should never have lost that game, being 13 points up with 2 minutes to play. Some defensive howlers (once by Matty Robbins from memory) gave West Coke the chance to draw level.

Don't know how we lost that one. Murphy's kick out of defence, just blazed away and West Coke marked it and kicked it to Sampi - game drawn.



Great goal from Johnno at the 5.3minute mark in the video.

Judas kicked 7 and should have been 8.

If you can't be bothered watching the whole game, skip to the 12 min.

Re: Kicks for goal after the final siren

Speculating but maybe the Sampi goal cost us Buddy Franklin as we would have missed a conpensation and had only pick 5 that draft.

Speculating but maybe the Sampi goal cost us Buddy Franklin as we would have missed a compensation and had only pick 5 that draft.

Different year Chops, had Sampi not kicked that goal, we would have beaten the Eagles & finished above Carlton. Even tough Carlton were banned from rounds 1 & 2 in that draft, they still retained their priority pick which they used on Andrew Walker, after we took Adam Cooney. I'm thankful Matty Robbins stuffed up that night, wasn't at the time I might add.

The following year we played Essendon in round 22 & lost. Had we won we would have got pick 5 as you say, but losing meant we, along with Richmond & Hawthorn got a priority pick each before round 1.

Hawks would have had picks 2, 4 & 6, Richmond 1 & 3 & us with pick 5. As you say, speculation but Richmond would have taken Deledio at 1, Hawthorn Roughead at 2, Richmond who took Tambling at 4, would with pick 3 taken either he, or Ryan Griffen, meaning Hawthorn would have probably still taken Franklin ahead of Tambling/Griffen (bearing in mind they had pick 6 & would have used that in all likliehood on Jordan lewis anyway).

It's almost funny that one of them is finally living up to his potential and the other can't now because of injury

Re: Kicks for goal after the final siren

The following year we played Essendon in round 22 & lost.

IIRC Mitch Hahn missed a very gettable goal toward the end of that game which would have won us the mach. He was virtually in the goasquare and I think he hit the post.

Re: Kicks for goal after the final siren

I was having a chat with a mate about shots for goal after the final siren that affected the results of games involving the Bulldogs. Here's what we were able to recall, but I'm sure there might be others we have missed:

Alan Stoneham v Fitzroy - VFL Park - Goal - Bulldogs won
Simon Beasley v Brisbane Bears - Gabba - Missed - Brisbane won
Stephen MacPherson v North Melbourne - MCG - Goal - Draw
Brad Johnson v Geelong - Etihad - Missed - Geelong won
Brad Johnson v North Melbourne - Etihad - Missed - North Melbourne won

Bill Brownless (Geelong) - MCG - Goal - Geelong won
Matthew Lloyd (Essendon) - Etihad - Missed - Draw
Nick Reiwoldt (St.Kilda) - Etihad - Missed - Draw
Nathan Bock (Adelaide) - Etihad - Missed - Bulldogs won
