Actually, I would have thought Scotty Burns on Kane Cornes in the same game. Probably a better tackle as Ben Johnson only just managed to cling on to Burgoyne's jumper.

I remember a game might have been 2000, hawks vs. kangaroos, dying seconds hawks up by 5 points David King on the Run at 50 m going to kick, Daniel Chic tackled him holding the ball siren goes hawks win.

But who cares ben johnsons was heaps better

I'd say Benny Johnsons for the reason he gave away a goal, and got it back. And that could of probably saved the game for Collingwood.

Well the best match winning tackle i can remember is Ben Johnson in the qualifying final. It was so crucial in the context of the game and was VERY team lifting and inspiring, it took us well on the way to victory and i was about 10 metres away, front row behind the goals. Never experienced anything like it, especially cos i was sitting next to Benny Johnsons number 1 fan. It was an awesome moment for Ben and everyone im sure Very Happy

I think it might have been Ladham's. He took a mark I think, and tried to take Clement on - BANG! Game Over.

It would have been Fraser Brown in the 99 prelim final, not Justin Murphy. The next tackle Murphy lays will be the first one.

I am afraid to say that the best match winning tackle I have ever seen was laid by George Gregan in a Rugby Union game for the Wallabies against NZ.

Aussies won by a couple of points after Gregan caused a KIwi to drop the ball whilst diving over the line. Gregan and the Kiwi were both going at full pace.

It was awesome and about the only time I have been excited by either rugby codes
