No doubt it's a great feeling to score a goal into the Canal End. But it can't quite match the sheer magic of seeing a goal buried in front of the Hill 16 goal. Particularly, when the Dubs are involved.
Players from other counties - Galway and Meath lads prominent here - can't get enough of the deathly silence which descends on the Hill when they nail a three-pointer in front of the blue hordes.
Dublin players, meanwhile, are in love with the eruption of noise when they plant a goal in front of the terrace (anecdotal evidence suggests the goals into the Hill are far more often followed by fist-pumps than goals at the other end).
The hallowed incline has witnessed so many beauts down the years. Here are seven of the finest goals ever scored in front of the Hill.
Ciaran Whelan
2002 All-Ireland semi-final Dublin v Armagh
Dublin reclaimed the Leinster title for the first time in seven years, survived a replay against Donegal in the quarters, and then battled Armagh in a pulsating All-Ireland semi-final.
Early in the second half, only seconds after Armagh forced home a goal, Ciaran Whelan struck home this terrific shot after which the Hill was rocking.
Declan Meehan
2000 All-Ireland final replay - Galway v Kerry
Between their successes of 1998 and 2001, Galway lost an All-Ireland final to Kerry after a replay in 2000. The match was billed as a classic, a shootout between teams renowned for attacking play.
It was an underwhelming affair. Galway did score one of the greatest goals ever seen in an All-Ireland final early on in the replay, a goal which was immediately described as a kind of Gaelic football equivalent of Brazil 1970.
Seamus Darby
1982 All-Ireland final - Offaly v Kerry
One doesn't want to fall into the trap of overstating these things, but this is arguably the most significant moment in the history of western civilisation.
Killarney folk band Galleon thought it wise to release a song entitled 'Five in a Row' before September 1982. The most gratuitous display of karmic suicide in the history of Gaelic Football.
The song is near impossible to find these days but there's broad agreement that the chorus goes along these lines.
Five in a row,
Five in a row,
Can you believe we've won five in a row
Naturally, it became significantly harder to believe they'd won five in a row after Seamus Darby's intervention.
As stated earlier, there remains a frenzied debate over whether it was actually a good goal or not. Its significance is not in doubt.
Bernard Brogan
1977 All-Ireland semi-final - Dublin v Kerry
A classic example on the ancient GAA commentator tradition of referring to a footballer's occupation. Bernard Brogan was drilling for oil back in the 70s. He was drilling for goals too, etc, etc...
David Hickey had just blasted home an important goal for the Dubs. Brogan's strike effectively sealed the All-Ireland semi-final win for the Dubs.
Vinny Murphy
1992 All-Ireland semi-final - Dublin v Clare
Kevin Costner had notions of making a film of Michael Collins's life, starring himself. He was in Croker that day to watch Clare compete in their All-Ireland semi-final in either code in about sixty years.
Dublin's five point winning margin was tighter than expected but still they became roaring favourites for the All-Ireland, largely thanks to the stultifying semi-final match between Donegal and Mayo.
Early on, Vinny Murphy, then at his peak in the full forward line, blasted home an unstoppable goal. His airborne fist-pumping celebration is especially class.
Kevin Foley
1991 Leinster First Round Third Replay - Meath v Dublin
The Hill has never forgotten it. Ireland had competed in a major competition the year before and Gaelic Games were struggling for attention in the capital. To make matters worse for the Dubs, Cork won the double that year.
Even though Dublin lost, the four in a row saga of 1991 is often alleged to have re-ignited interest in Gaelic football in the city.
A move which began with Martin O'Connell winning a ball in the corner where the Cusack Stand met the Canal End and squirting a pass back to Mick Lyons ended with Kevin Foley belting a ball into a half-empty net while Ger Canning nearly lost the plot in the commentary box.
Graham Geraghty
2007 All-Ireland quarter final - Meath v Tyrone
Meath's period in the wilderness has been prolonged since 2001, one would half forget their runs to the semi-final in 2007 and 2009.
In neither year, did they ever look likely to win the All-Ireland. Rather it was clear they were over-performing just to get that far.
In the first run in particular, they relied upon the ageing talisman Graham Geraghty, the man who first attracted Alex Ferguson's notice in 1994 and was still wowing folk up until the turn of this decade.
Against Tyrone in the quarters, he scored the type of goal we haven't seen before or since.
