The Moment: Rnd 4, 2020, vs Sydney Swans
The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in today's game against Sydney. 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.'

Bont's mark going back with the flight into Heeney. A Statement mark. His mark against Hodge in 2016 finals was of similar importance.
Each were the opposition's lead player and each time Bont's mark quelled them and settled us.

I have to agree, but think his follow up mark and goal a few minutes later was just as important.
It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.

It was.... and it actually counted with points... but the collision with Heeney to me just said 'yep, know it's a milestone... but... it ain't happening....'

I've actually been looking at Bont and thinking he's not been doing enough in the gym because unless he's in motion and because he's such a big guy who's still relatively young, he doesn't look that physically imposing.
Then you see him brace for a mark like that, or in motion getting a contested ball and you realise he's a complete beast. And he's only going to get bigger and bigger throughout the next five years, and even stronger and smarter.
I can't wait. He's just going to dominate in a way player rarely does.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Bont’s mark going back with the flight... or Smith just pushing someone away and going on with it.

When Bont slammed through a set shot from 50, I thought 'the stars have aligned tonight'.

100% agree with this. It was a pure captains goal. I sat and said that’s what Josh Kennedy has done gif a decade for the swans and he would have been watching first hand the change of the guard in the AFL
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

Agree with all of the above. Bont's marks were great, but the 50m goal meant we were 90% over the line at half time.

I know we had just about won, but I was still nervous until Macrae soccered that goal.
I yelled YES!!, and the Cat almost hit the ceiling and ran.

How terrible was the camera work on that goal. Zoomed in so tightly on the ball, you had no idea what was coming!

Bont's long goal was obviously the big one, but another key moment was when Bailey Williams took a gutsy mark in traffic down back, then pulled the trigger on a really attacking kick into the middle, which set us up for a goal.
Can't remember who kicked the goal (anyone?), but it was a really impressive chain set up by Williams, who looks better with every game.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
