In the wake of Sydney forward Malcolm Rosas Jnr's incredible seven-goal performance against Melbourne, it got the brain cogs thinking about similar standout efforts in football.
Rosas, in a forward line consisting of Charlie Curnow, Joel Amartey and Tom Papley as well as midfielders Isaac Heeney and Chad Warner, wasn't tipped to heavily impact the scoreboard, but was the surprise packet in the Swans victory.
The former Gold Coast Sun's performance inspired a thought train, researching some of the best 'bolt from the blue' moments in football. However, he didn't make it inside the top 10.
Nor did Karmichael Hunt's goal after the siren to defeat Richmond in 2012.
Despite an embarrassment of riches, we've ranked the top 10...
119th man saves the day for the Blues
The 1970 VFL Grand Final between Carlton and Collingwood was made famous for many reasons.
The Blues' massive comeback to beat the arch rival. The biggest ever crowd (121,696) flocked to the MCG, setting a new record. But Ted Hopkins, who was listed as the 19th man for Carlton, produced a purple patch that turned the tide of the contest.
Hopkins replaced Bert Thornley at half-time, which was a masterstroke by coach Ron Barassi. He kicked three goals in 15 minutes, and gave one off to Alex Jesaulenko, helping erase a 44-point deficit.
Hopkins kicked his fourth in the final term, helping secure the flag.
He played only one more game for Carlton before pursuing other interests.
