Individual players greatest games.

[Otiman]

Just before the season starts is always a good time to look back on some of the best games of our players, and see if they can match or better these throughout the year.

I'll throw up some obvious ones first.

Milne - 11 goals vs Brisbane, 2005.
Koschitzke - 3 BOG's in a row. (pick the best one of those 3).
Harvey - '05 semi vs Crows. (there were probably better games, but not in semi finals that went down to the wire)
C. Jones - NAB '07 vs Essendon
J. Gwilt - '06 vs Sydney on B. Hall (1 Brownlow vote)

[Huzzad]

Fraser's 10,9 & 8 goal hauls have always been great matches but one that sticks in my memory is last year's match against the Dockers. Fraser was kicking goals, tackling and causing a scene.

[FullMonty]

Nicky Winmar at Victoria park the day he lifted his shirt to the Pies cheer squad. He and Gilbert McCadam tore them apart!

[saint66au]

Roo...9 goals in a losing side v Melb 2004 (?)...just dominant

[Rickabee]

The greatest one I witnessed "live" was Plugger's 1994 match vs. Sydney where he won the match off his own boot in the last quarter. It was just unbelievable what he did that day.

[bigred]

Banger...vs Carlton 1998 MCG at night...

42 touches or something along those lines....

Untouchable.

[Mr Magic]

Plugger the day he kicked 10 against Carlton (SOS played on him that day) at Moorabbin.

[Eastern]

Aussie Jones. 1997 Grand Final !!

[bigcarl]

lockett the day he kicked 12 goals straight (out of 14) in a losing side versus melbourne at the mcg

[ausfatcat]

Roo...9 goals in a losing side v Melb 2004 (?)...just dominant

with no hamill gehrig or kosi playing if I remember and he was the only bloke in the forward line, marked everything, kicked striaght, reguarly beat 2 or 3 opponants in the air but it just didn't get down there enough

[saintsRrising]

Mialan Faletic coming off the bench in the second half (was it against the Dees?) to play as ruck rover and racking up 28 touches in half a game.


Interesting fact was that was his only time he was played in such a role....despite the way he racked up the ball in that half.

The Saints tried to play him asa Key Forwarda role that The Ghost (the name hes known bu in SA)was not really suited for but because he kicked 5 goals 5 early on (was it debut against the Dogs) they kept trying him asa key forward.

I often wonder how he would have gone if they had not tried to make him intoa key position player.

[riccardo]

Jason Grams best performances were either the day at the MCG (I think R21/22, 2005) when he kicked 4 goals, including 3 of the first 4 and cut the Tigers to ribbons or the day aghainst Port in Tassie in 06 when he had 33 or so touches and was best afield.

[True Blue Sainter]

Leigh Fisher amassing 36 touches or something like that against Hawthorn last year in that infamous match...

Lenny Hayes against Brisbane in 2004?? Can't recall how many touches he had but he was everywhere, and pushing himself to get to every contest, and I remember it as an inspiring performance.

Dal Santo against Melbourne last game of 2005 I think? 25 touches and 5 goals, that has to be worth something...

[n1ck]

Banger...vs Carlton 1998 MCG at night...

42 touches or something along those lines....

Untouchable.

'Couldnt tackle that bloke in a phone booth...'

[robbie muir]

George Young round 12 1978. 10 goals against Fitzroy

[plugger66]

Plugger the day he kicked 10 against Carlton (SOS played on him that day) at Moorabbin.

He kicked 10.7 out of 13.18. Best performance I have ever seen by a player. Kicked the last with 42 seconds to go to win by less than goal. If you ever speak to SOS ask him about it.

[St Fidelius]

Just out of interest, how does his game against Goodes match up to that?

EDIT: Sorry, meant the qual in 2004.

[vacuous space]

Koschitzke - 3 BOG's in a row. (pick the best one of those 3).

That period in 05 was against pretty ordinary opposition. I'd say his game in Harvey's 350th was much better. Those four goals were absolutely essential in getting us what could have been a season saving win.

[esaint66]

paddy murphy round 10 @ victoria park v collingwood.

lines up for his first game,loses his contact lenses, plays near to blind, gets dropped and never plays again.

have to be his only good game

[Dal_Santos_Gal]

Dal Santo against Melbourne last game of 2005 I think? 25 touches and 5 goals, that has to be worth something...

Yep it sure was 2005, Rnd 18 at the MCG! Fantastic game that was.
25 touchs, 15 kicks, 10 handballs, 5 tackles and a lazy 5 goals.

he was unbelievable that day and it probably was the best game he played.

but there were so many great ones. must have kicked 10 or more goals dozens of times.

another that stands out in my memory was against hawthorn at the mcg. the year eludes me but it was the day dermott king-hit frawley.

we lost, but lockett kicked nine or so in a typically dominant performance.

It has been said that the dominant performance by Lockett that day left SOS so scarred it literally took him years to recover. The guy was an absolute steam-train, once he was on a roll you couldn't stop him.

it was a great mark lockett took over sos. took it from behind and kept his feet. drilling it into the blues cheer squad.

but i still think nicky could have kept running and dobbed that goal
