The first goal of every AFL Grand Final | 1990-2019 | AFL

[@totoannihilation4685]

10:26 I remember back in 2011 during the grand final the bar I was in was giving out free pots until the first goal of the game, When Varcoe kicked that goal everybody was shattered.

[@jakob569]

🤣

[@aucata8816]

@J G no it won’t, soccer is dying here.

[@TheCleaner76]

7:57 Wow Port Adelaide was actually in front at one stage during the 2007 GF

[@outlawrip-offartist4161]

That’s what I was thinking.

[@TotalDramaOwenandNoah]

Same lol

[@robvonk9131]

For all of two and a half minutes. Lol.

[@jto541]

In 57% of these grand finals, the first team to score a goal went on to lose (excluding the draw).

[@Takoda.]

We already knew

[@ollieskelton1769]

That’s a pretty average stat

[@markymark687]

Yeah and?

[@jackpd34]

57.78927% ?

[@tiborsol7959]

Did you count the James Hird one from 2000 that missed by about a metre.

[@Ben2Men]

So basically, if you want to lose the Grand Final then kick the first goal

[@cozzy97]

Crazy how Channel 10’s 2009 GF coverage looks to be in higher definition than the 2012-15 GF’s on Channel 7. Miss 10 so much :’(

Fact if the day Statistically you are more likely to lose of you score the first goal in the game

[@sivaparangan5572]

But statistically Geelong are more likely to win if they score the first goal

[@veganath]

1996 seemed to be the last year where strategically minimizing clothing surface attack area was important. Tighter short, and tucked in guernsey.

[@cars4dummies235]

I got chills watching Sloane kick the first back in 2016, and then hearing the roar of the crowd. I remeber watching that game and thinking holy sh*t the crows are a chance, it might actually happen. I'm gonna see my team get a flag but then nope, along came Richmond!

[@thexto34]

After 31 first goals kicked in the grand final, 15 were wins, 15 were loss and 1 draw. Very interesting.

[@dillonnav]

Just shows that it doesn't really matter who kicks the first goal, it doesn't have much of an effect on the outcome of the game.

[@thexto34]

@@dillonnav yeah, an old mate of mine once said whoever kicks the first goal in a game would lose. Just goes to show he's 1/2 right.

[@_Murky_]

AFL started in 1990, good to know we won't be seeing vfl stats from now on.

[@OutPushing]

Elbows flying everywhere those earlier years

[@mrpuniverse2]

Varcoe must be the only player in modern times to kick the first goal twice for two different teams

[@Natcam3]

One against Collingwood and one for Collingwood

[@Feedersuper]

Wow! So many times the first goalkicker ended up being on the losing team!

[@AnthonyyVN]

Since 2013 the first team that kicks the first goal of the Grand Final loses but hopefully this decade is different
