Jack Newnes lived every footballer's dream when he kicked a goal after the siren to win the game for Carlton on Saturday night.

Newnes' goal was as good a kick after the siren as we have seen, right up there with the 'Miracle on Grass' from Ashley McGrath and James Hird's snap late in the last quarter against the Eagles after the week from hell.

Or who can forget Tom Hawkins long bomb to continue the 'Kennett curse' over the Hawks?

We've counted down the 10 most clutch plays from this century, putting an emphasis on the big stage and finals moments. The time and importance of the game, meaning of the result and even the location and aesthetics of the moment matters.

There have been some spectacular moments that will live in football folklore, moments that are bigger than just the game that they happen in. Moments that define a career and a teams success and failures.

Do you agree with our 10?

2. Dom Sheed goal vs Collingwood, 2018 Grand Final

Dom Sheed broke the hearts of Collingwood fans with a kick that will never get old. Penned up against the fence with Pies fans in his ear, Sheed slotted the most impossible and clutch of goals with less than two minutes on the clock.

Add to that the theatre of the lead up to the goal, with marks from Jeremy McGovern and Liam Ryan leasing up to it, and the moment only grows. Absolute scenes.
