The "I wish the ground could open up and swallow me" Thread

[one-eyed]

Saw this done on that Blues forum and they reminded me of poor old Jon Dorotich missing that absolute sitter lol at Waverley in 1992 (his 4th straight behind for the day) and we got up by 3 points.

What other "I wish ground could open up and swallow me" footy moments like that do you remember?

1968 Richmond v Collingwood at the MCG. Close game all day. Deep in the last quarter with Collingwood a couple of points up, Paddy Guinane takes a screamer in the goal square. Lines up from 10 yards out and......................kicks the ground.   
Collingwood win by 3 points.

I remember David Bourke taking that absolute screamer(over James Hird I think) and then missing the goal from 10 meters out.

Kane Johnson kicking the ball the wrong way in the season opener last year was a fair effort too.

Richo's had too many to mention.

One of the fuunniest things I seen was when Archer pretended to have a go at Carey when he went to the Crows.  After Carey shat his pants he then remembered he was a man and proceeded to puff out his chest. 

The initial look on carey's face was priceless.

Malcolm Blight in rd 1 1982 against us. Running into an open goal celebrating then realising when no teammate came up to him to congratulate him he horrifyingly looked back at the goal umpire who was waving only 1 flag. It was the year the electronic scoreboard also went up so he got to see his handy work first hand. Priceless.

Couple of years ago on TV - Port Adelaide vs Swans.  Big Bad Barry shaped at Kane Cornes as though to hit him and Cornes went to the ground as though he had been floored by Mike Tyson.  Hall cracked up and Cornes must have wished he was anywhere else but on the ground.

Shades of Browny v Bulldogs?

A guy over here that played for the Claremont FC in the WAFL, he marked the ball about 20m out from goal on a slight angle. Scores were level and he only needed to kick a point to win the game. The siren went, he lines up the goals, starts his approach and then............. plays on..... . Funny though he ended up in mining and I trained him to operate machines. I said to him when he started geez I know you and he says yeah I played for Claremont, I said hey are you the............ and he stopped me there and said yeah, yeah thats me I played on........... Nice guy and ended up a good operator, only spoke to him a couple of weeks ago.

How about when Michael Laffy kicked the ball in after a point against the Hawks and hit Dunstall on the tit?
And Dunstall was on the mark!!!!
Richo handballing to Rodan in the goal square which Rodan was not expecting and fumbled the ball through for a point.

[WilliamPowell]

non football but just last night in the Women's Oz Open Final when Dinara Safina missed that forehand all together

When Dunstall kicked 17 against us at Waverley in 1992. Scotty Turner got his revenge a few years later holding Dunstall goalless but there was him and 19 other Tigers that day wishing their was some place to hide. Same goes for whenever Ablett snr played against us.

Terry Keays when Daicos kicked 7 on him at Vic Park.

Steven Kernahan needing a goal to win and a point to draw against Essendon misses the lot.

Motlop of Port going for goal from about 30m out to win the game siezes up so much even his facial expression shows a bloke who is scared of taking the shot. Of course he misses with some dicky little chip of a kick and Port lose.
