Goal of the year. Bookmark it.

I keep watching it again and again on the AFL.com highlight reel with Roos' reaction. Absolutely priceless.

Terrible kick, right result! I still don't know how it changed direction in such an extreme fashion and still go through the goals!

Because the footy gods spent the night smiling on us.

That bounce was as freaky as. I wonder if it'll be picked as a GOTY.

Nah. Wonderful freak goal, but that was it - pretty ordinary kick in the end, and it took a hilariously random bounce for it to turn out the way it did!! :)

GOTY should be for someone who MEANT it :)

Great goal indeed. Not goal of the year IMO, I reckon that award was won earlier in the day by Junior Boy Rioli down in Tassie...

The look on Roosy's face would definitely win Best Reaction of the Year if such an award existed.

The look on MY face would have been in contention as Best Reaction as well......multiply that by about 36,000 plus viewers. It was Hilarious!

Bolton does it = fluke.
Rioli does it = genius.

Kirk was in the goal square - the very definition of "ball magnet" last night.

I reckon Buddy sewed GOTY up weeks ago with 2 freakish goals one after the other on the run from the wing to the 50 and then putting the ball through on the full.

James Hird kicked a similar goal some years ago, bounced near the behind post then took the right angle bounce through for a goal.

Was it in the same run up foot marks that Cooney did his hammy??

I missed it, as I turned away to talk thinking it was a behind, only to be told it was a goal. WTF?

I was sitting behind the goals at that end and I just could not believe a football could bounce like that.:eek:

No, it was the Randwick end, Cooney's was the Paddington end.

It's amazing how the ball bounces when your up.
Against the Dees, that would've gone out of bounds.

They cut most of that out of the fta transmission, so thanks for upping it. It goes straight to the Pool Room!
