The Moment: Rnd 18, 2020 vs Fremantle
The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in tonight's game against Fremantle. 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.

Roarke shimmying through the Dockers defense on 50 and hitting up a free Hunter. That was when I knew we were home.

Great sidestep, but did he really "hit up" Hunter?
To me look like a shank that Hunter had the best run at.

He didn’t hit him up but he put the ball exactly where it should have been put. Compare and contrast with Crozier, a far better kick, going with a shallow entry and turning it over the quartet before. Credit to him for backing himself in to get in enough space to lean into it and put it deep into the wind.
The handball at the start of the passage though? That was nice as hell. Not to mention his workrate to get involved in the chain again.

I agree the ball ended up in a better place - but the question is was that his intent? I say no.

The Bailey Smith snap for a goal got me out of the chair.

Not particularly one moment from one player but the 2nd quarter really set us up for the win.

The Hunter gut run after Libba’s elite vision set up a goal for English in the second quarter. That’s how you lead by example.

Hunter for me as well, add in his two smothers in 10 seconds and I thought it’s going to be ugly but we will get it done.

Hunter is really playing like he's got a point to prove, he wasn't going to let us lose today

The Roarke, "I'm the Candy Man", move was a thing of beauty that only a skateboarder could execute.

Yep, this for me too.
Libbas kick was the stuff finals are made of.
Would have been Wallys 3qtr time kick if it’s gone through
