The Moment: Rnd 15 2019 vs Port Adelaide
Ok. It's been in the two's for a few weeks, but it's back tonight: the moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye. Was it the moment that told you 'we've got this'? Or was it the moment that you went 'wow....that is crazy courage.'
What was it for you against Port tonight.
For me it was the 3rd quarter, our worst for the night.
The moment for me was a period of time.
We were challenged, Port lifted in the 3rd. We started to make poor executions, and Port looked likely.
Then we did something we've not been renowned for. In fact, something that has been our achilles heel: making the most of opposition mistakes.
Despite the trend of the game leaning heavily towards Port, momentum wise in the 3rd, we had 3 opportunities from turnovers from Port, and lo and beyold, we converted all 3.
For me that was the defining moment, because without that, I think Port go into the 4th either in front, or close and with loads of momentum.

Having the ball in a players hand and think to myself in the moment 'he's actually going to kick it'. I'm on a 6.0 run with Schache.

For me it was Crozier mark in the third followed up by a Wood spoil that kept the bell front of the contest. These boys were just on all night with the one percentage things.
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

I loved that mark by Crozier. He's going to place well in our B & F. Reckon he's in line for a best clubman award.

The moment was really the first quarter set up by The Bont. He was unstoppable and really set the tone for the game.

Ridiculous how well he got and used the ball in those conditions. For me it settles the debate about conditions being a leveller. His skill just was a standard deviation above everyone else.

Not sure there was one moment in that match. It was just a four quarter grind. Our ability to stem their momentum in the 3rd quarter and kick away to a healthy lead again (for the conditions) was the best take out for me

I'll take this one. The turnover from them did shift momentum back our way in that critical 3rd quarter as before the tide was swinging against us.

That was the moment for me.
Macrae took responsibility and nailed the shot.

There were a lot of moments in the match. Caleb Daniel had two memorable ones. The first was when was running with his back to the ball yet still managed to effect a spoil without infringing.
The second was when he kicked of the ground ( I think) and the ball went to a Power player. He followed up, dived and got a hand on the ball to knock it away and deny Port possession.
Crrozier's mark on the line was an important moment.

Caleb fully franked his All Australian guernsey tonight.
He was not BOG, nor best 5. He's done that already; but tonight he did the things that back up his best and showed his core value to be elite when it matters most.
