    It hurt, but I don't think it's the biggest headache Bevo will have about tonight's game.
    I understand what you’re saying, but Bont is a captain. It needed to be a captains goal. If it was 50 out on the boundary, I’d cut him some slack, but the majority of us could’ve kicked it. And I’ve said it before, his reaction after missing showed no real disappointment.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    That massive arsey snap from 40 to get them in front. I knew there was no coming back.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    It was such a mismatch in talent. Going into the game I had such high hopes that Schache might have improved in his attack at the ball, and reading of the flight. I think I came away more disappointed by Schach’s showing on the night than the loss itself as he’s certainly got gifts with ball in hand or on his foot. I hope that his card isn’t marked for good but it’s getting harder and harder to back him in.

    Yes couldn't agree more. It was a soda.

    Yeah was inexcusable really. It would have meant everything.

    It's just the reality that some shots are worth more than others due to their timing in the flow of the game.
    That was the moment to not only cement our first half dominance, but put the foot on the throat of a teetering colossus.
    Adelaide final 2015 was similar.

    To balance that he kicked two winners against the Eagles.

    But it's a toss of the coin when he's kicking for goal.

    8 Goals 5 this year to date, so has been a little better.

    We still should have won if we played the same in the second half and withstood the Tigers pressure, whether Bont kicks it or not.

    I still don’t understand why Hunter didn’t handball it to Scott.

    I don’t know about The Moment but once Richmond grabbed the lead it felt like we had a mountain to climb. Unlike the WC match where 3 goals down there was still a lot of energy and a feeling we’d come back, at even one goal down we seemed out of answers. I don’t know if the Lippa point might have galvanised us if not for that pesky goalpost but I couldn’t see us reigniting. We went into our shells, maybe we were overawed, but we lost our mojo so quickly.
