    Favourite Moment of the First Half of 2021?

    The chance to have nice things, like the other supporters have had the last 30 years…

    Seeing a bulldog player put through a 10th goal in a VFL/AFL game. I don’t care it was North, 10 goals is an achievement and fun to ride the last few home. Especially the 10th. Then watch Libba celebrate by taking 4 North players on.

    Perfection.

    Yours?

    There have been a few highlights but I'm going to say beating North by 100+ points and just plain old beating Essendon. It's always a highlight beating them.

    The fighting win (and the captain's goal) against West Coast
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    Beating Essendon is one of the finer things in life. I really enjoy that you are savouring beating them before we have even played them this year. That is the highest commitment to the hatred of the red and black and is most admirable.

    Saints by 100+

    How I longed, nay yearned as the parched land for summer's rain for such a day to arrive.

    Absolute bliss.

    The comeback against Carlton. The Blues being talked up, us being talked down (including by me in the game day thread!) and the result coming home just how we wanted it to.

    Watching Naughton and The Bont are my highlights.

    Some of the long bombs from the Bont have been incredible.

    For me there was something simply joyful about Bruce's 10th against North.

    Whether it was the team's determination to get it to him, Bevo's satisfied smile on the box after the mark, the redemption after the disaster that was last season, the happiness it generated was irreplaceable.

    He's now the best and most consistent in the league when it comes to that.

    Never over kicks it, uses his momentum and sublime skill just to do enough most of the time and it's a pleasure to watch. If he had have kicked the one from the first play against Freo it would be one of the best goals I've ever seen.

    First half v GC was our best footy for the year

    We've been good to watch but this thread reminds me of this

    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Bruces 10
    The win vs West Coast
    Watching Naughton and Bont grow right infront of us. Naughton is going to be the comps number 1 key forward in the next 2 years.

    The crowd's roar when we cleared the ball away from the West Coast danger zone, the ball sat up beautifully for Bruce, and then we saw Bont alone in the forward line was pretty special. To be at last part of the crowd again and to have seen our team withstand an opponent like West Coast with all their big forwards fit and firing, was magic.

    The stadium was rocking the entire game but the roof almost lifted in that moment. Nice call.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Great moment.

    Getting to watch Marcus Bontempelli play is almost always my highlight.

    So it is hard to go past his match winner v West Coast. Closely followed by the flea sealing a great win v Port.
