The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in tonight's game against Richmond. Was it the moment that told you 'we've got this' or 'we lost this one right here'? Or was it the moment that you went 'wow....that is crazy courage'

Or was it a collection of moments that you thought 'oh dear that's sure to produce a flood of WOOF melts on par with GG's post GF loss..

Marra ragdolling a defender was inspiring.

Bont's running back with the flight. Totally inspiring.

Credit to Scott. He got himself concussed in that contest. I don’t think he fully protected himself to help to protect Bont. Or that’s how I remember it. If that’s what happened, Scott protested Bont and suffered concussion and will lose his spot next week as a result too. That’s 100% selfless stuff right there not only to protect our best player but give him the shot on goal too.

Thanks for pointing that out. I just saw the replay on the morning news and you described Scott's role perfectly. Very courageous act too.

His boxing work has really upped his strength and competitiveness one on one.

Bont gathers from his ankles on the run, clean as a whistle, and hits Marra in a paddock of space. You just knew he was going to tear the game apart from that point onward.

When Caleb is marking over the top of an opponent to deliver the first goal, you just know something is going right.

Caleb proving too tall in the contest. Who can believe that?

The moment I decided to go to the game!

Lobb mark and hand off to JUH. Unselfish forward play and dare I say it, it looked like the guys were having fun.

Great observation. That’s as happy as I’ve seen them on field in a long time.

Very worried about Scott, he has been concussed several times in the past couple of years.

3rd quarter, something odd.
Our player and opponent ended up on the ground with ball between the BOTH moving torso and head to show umps they were trying to handpass haha.
There's a moment.

Why is that do you think? I’ve described our footy at times under Bevo as joyless, and at others, the best football you’ll ever see. I know which footy I want to see!

Don’t know, but plenty of smiles for a change.

On replay, the West handball after half volley in the first at the 50 was something handed down in his genes. Absolutely magic.

Getting off to a good start, moving the ball quickly, possibly a change in mindset after a shit week. All would have played a part.

A backline that is able to repel and set up the rest of the field has been sorely lacking since Jones and JJ hadn't been playing together.

Jones and JJ real lynch pins for everything else.
