It’s cliché to say a champion team beats a team of champions, but there was a touch of the truism to Carlton’s impressive defeat of Melbourne in front of a nigh-on deserted Alice Springs.
Kate Hore kicks goal of the year
There are moments in sport when the background blurs, time slows, and every sense attunes to the greatness in front of you.
It’s not hyperbole to say the wing-length running, multi-bouncing, don’t argue giving, dish and receiving, forward pocket snapping six pointer from the Dees’ sharp shooter was by far the best goal we’ve seen in 2020.
There’s valid argument that it could be the best goal scored in the four-year history of the league.
Amid a flurry of high-quality play from both sides in a supremely entertaining opening term, Hore’s effort was the cherry on top.
The only pity was the lack of crowd to bring the house down afterwards.
Three bounces, a fend, a one-two and the goal... @SpecialKAus Strong Plays don't come much better than this from Kate Hore 💪#PoweringYou #RiseWithUs pic.twitter.com/tmJuNFl6ko
