On each weekday of the 2011 Toyota AFL Finals Series, Leigh Matthews will count down his 20 Moments of Greatness from the finals. Today: moment No. 6 when Darren Jarman turned the match with a final-quarter onslaught in the 1997 Grand Final.

By his own admission, Darren Jarman played a stinker in the 1991 Grand Final, when he was a member of the Hawthorn team that defeated West Coast at Waverley. In 1997, having reached greater maturity without losing his touch of magic, Jarman was ready for another chance.

He was in the Adelaide team that took on St Kilda. The Saints led by 10 points at three-quarter time. The Crows needed a spark. Coach Malcolm Blight, a man who well understood that a brilliant midfielder could also be a force up in attack, put Jarman at full-forward.

Jarman began the final quarter with a goal from a free kick. Then he took a mark and kicked a goal. He had a left-snap that sailed through and he ran into an open goal. The final major was from a right-foot snap off one step.

Jarman finished with five goals for the quarter. The Crows surged to victory by 36 points, largely on the back of Jarman's game-turning performance.
