The Moment: Grand Final Edition 2021 vs Melbourne
The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in today's Grand Final against Melbourne. 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.

Hannan at 55m kicking laterally 11m to Dale. Kick a goal with the control we had, who knows.
Re: The Moment: Grand Final Edition 2021 vs Melbourne
B.Smith misses the pass, and James Harmes charges through , grabs the ball on the 50 m line and goals. IT swung the momentum.
Then the next 3 goals in 90 seconds destroyed us. The last one with 15 seconds to go in the 3rd quarter

That’s it for me too. If things had been different and we managed to stop all scoring for a bit at that point it’s a different match.
Such a shame. I’m so heartbroken

That was it. They then created from the centre clearances. I felt so confident before that. Thought we had them.

Cale Daniel standing over gawn when he tackled him over the boundary. Swit was flicked game over
Re: The Moment: Grand Final Edition 2021 vs Melbourne
The clearance goal they kicked in 15 seconds with 30 seconds left in the 3rd. Boys totally dropped their heads after that
Re: The Moment: Grand Final Edition 2021 vs Melbourne
Last 50 seconds of the 3rd qtr to concede 3 goals when we were under siege but still almost level pegging. The Petracca dribble kick particularly stung.
Re: The Moment: Grand Final Edition 2021 vs Melbourne
Schache getting polaxed. Not sure he got near it after that, when it should have been another strong mark and goal in a performance that was building as the game wore on. Probably the only sliding doors type moment where I’m feeling filthy with the umpires. A goal there would have gone some way to mitigating the disastrous capitulation that followed not too long after.

That was the game, gone in 60 seconds.

Yep the last minute of the 3rd quarter was the moment for me.
I thought we looked on top but never in control of the 3rd quarter.

Yep… that was a big moment.
The 15-20sec of play that led to the Brayshaw goal was crucial too. The Daniel kick along the ground, the Petracca throw and then the hack kick that went to Brayshaw. We really needed to take the pace out of the gabs at that stage and it was a cluster *!*!*!*!.
Re: The Moment: Grand Final Edition 2021 vs Melbourne
That last 3 mins of the 3rd was possibly the most heart wrenching I’ve ever watched of us. It was literally shattering.

Agree. Melbourne were always going to surge in the third. Our job was to hold them. The fact they kicked 4 straight to hit the front and then another should have had alarm bells ringing. With 50 seconds to go in the quarter we needed to line up on the defensive side of the ruck contest and kill it. We didn't and the rest is history. It wasn't just disappopinting, it was deer in the headlights stuff!
