Came across this yet again, never fails to give me goosebumps. Would have to be one of the best individuals performances in a quarter of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvH5yPHOaVg

In a game that really mattered yes.
Not the right place I guess, but this is the best individual game, exhibiting brilliance I have ever seen. I still remember some of what I saw that day..to this day. I was 16, was there with my father.
Phil Carman, round 20, 1975
St Kilda 20.17 (137) v Collingwood 24.12 (156)
During his extraordinary debut season for Collingwood after crossing from Norwood at the age of 24, “Fabulous” Phil Carman sizzled early in 1975 as a ruck-rover or a key forward. After breaking his foot and missing eight matches, he returned in round 19 wearing white boots. In his second match in white boots, against St Kilda at Moorabbin, he reached his apogee as a league footballer by kicking 11 goals and giving several away in a performance described as almost perfect. In the dying minutes, he led Collingwood on a six-goal burst to steal victory.
Edit: he came second in the Brownlow that year after missing 8 games in a season of less games than we have now. Smacks a bit of what may happen to Gaz this year. I hope not.

I recall watching that game at home with my family, who are all die-hard Geelong supporters and just sitting frozen after the last Nick Davis goal.
I don't think anyone said a word for about 20 minutes afterwards, we just sat in silence staring at the TV. Can't imagine what it would have been like to be a Sydney supporter at that game, incredible!

Tom Mitchell I suspect is going nowhere. Can't see Swans being dumb enough to let him go.
Would absolutely love him at Carlton but Swans would be nuts not to pay him what he is worth.
Barely played more than two full games in a row this season though. 2014 season for him been a write off.
Be interesting if he comes back for finals and is 100% fit. It is a nice luxury Swans will have at finals time.
