play of the year
gday
i was told earlier this week i had won "play of the year" (not player, PLAY) for my school footy team, and that got me thinking...what was PLAY of the year for the saints?
maybe was it when we were playing the swans in sydney, and hall burst through about 2 saints and was it Dal who tackled him and was holding the ball! that was awesome!
or was it the set play that got Dal a goal at subi to but us 10 points infront of the eagles with 2 mins to go in harveys 350th?
in the dogs game when we were 1pt down with 45 sec to go at chb and gram torped the ball and roo marked it! i know that wasnt play of the year, but i would like to see more kicking long and fast nest year!
what do you think?

A couple from the first Eagles game:
- Dal Santo's goal at the end, where he ran 20m and kicked it 50m to win the game.
- Riewoldt's chase and tackle at the end of the second quarter, where the ball spilled to Gilbert who drilled it from 50m
Others:
- Gram and Birss' chain of handballs against the Crows, resulting in Birss drilling the goal on the run from 40m
- Gehrig's tackle and holding the ball goal against the Dockers
- Xavier Clarke's run through the middle against the Dockers when he took four bounces.
- Kosi's last quarter huge pack mark against the Eagles at the Dome
- Milney's snap vs. the Dockers
- Nick Riewoldt's whole performance against the Crows

They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

gilbo's tackle on judd saved a certain goal and showed that judd isnt a super human ...(only bad point was the comentators only using it as an aknowlegment that judd was injured not how great gilbos tackle was )

That was against the Cats late last year if I'm thinking what you're thinking. Chips intercepted a pass in front of a Geelong player did a 1-2 with BJ ran to 50 and drilled it. Probably the play of last year anyway.
For mine this year I would have to go with the Gram torp to Rooey against the Dogs, despite the hollow feeling of the result. Dals goal against the Eagles was very memorable for the exhilaration knowing we were going to get home after looking like we'd coughed it up.
