Lucas will win GOTY with that one.

I still think Riewoldt's was better though.

Rooy's was harder because he was trying to centre it and it went through. very hard to do.

Why wasn't it a a 50m penalty after roos grab?? took the mark, came down pushed back then mitchell decided to grav him... they are absoloute cheats of the game Hawthorn

voted for roo but i think lucas will win just purely for the air-time he received with that shot!

lol roo's goal was a fluke, absolute shank that somehow went straight, I thought it was headin out on the full until the crowd behind and in front of the goals went up...

Voted for him on both. Great mark.

Milne's last year didn't even get a nomination for his centering ball that went through.

So Roo should win the best goal award for UNINTENTIONALLY kicking it?

Come on... as much as I loved seeing it, you can't give a bloke a prize for accidentally slotting a goal and FWIW, GOTY should go to Lucas or McPhee for his falling boundary line checkside effort earlier in the year.
