    Re: The Moment; Rnd 9, 2020 vs Richmond

    Agree with all of the above. The blatant push in the back by Riewolt or Cordy for their first goal was an omen for me. There were countless moments when we were just totally outplayed though.

    It was the ease of ball movement following that miss, where the Tigers just took it wide down the wings, running in waves and left us in their wake. They then proceeded to do that for the rest of the night.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Libbas miss was the moment that ended the game for us.

    Yeah we all knew Billy was going to miss that goal for Wally but the game was over in any case by then. But Billy taking that kick is just another moment of dumb football from us. Unless there’s some rule that I’m not privy to that says a certain player must take the kick why in the hell would it be Billy to take it?

    It's a good question re a rule. I just read the entire section and there is nothing about who takes a kick. I can only assume its either the closest player ala out on the full or the previous disposer in this case it was Gowers from memory.

    It's all in rule 23. My issue is whether it was an active bleed. He shouldve been able to get a trainer to quickly clean it then take his shot but its up to the umpire to assess if its active.

    There is a reference to rule 19.6 if a player can't take a kick (usually after the siren re blood rule they refer to this).

    Ah so it’s closest player? So the one time Billy gets near the ball it happened to be the worst time for him to be near it!

    I think Mitch had to get the cut stitched up so it must have been a decent cut

    He should have feigned a hammy and left it for one of our good kicks. Such as....??? Depressingly, Wally is the only guy I trust with goal kicking at the moment.

    Ha you know I actually sat there for a whole minute trying to think of an alternative and you're right. Sadly, there isn't another player who you could pick to take that shot and have confidence they'd kick a goal. And this is a fairly regulation goal - 20m out directly in front. What's Barry Hall doing these days? What a sad state of affairs it is in our forward line.

    This year, yes, thankfully, though those great running goals haven't happened since..god knows when.

    That was my question at the time too - not because he frustrates me more than any other player - but because he was the one that kicked it to wallis. I didn't think you could choose who takes the shot, I thought it was the player closest when the mark is taken.

    Remember last year Gowers had a similar shot with 1 minute to go v the Suns to level the scores and he missed and we lost by 5 points.
