    The Moment: Elimination Final, 2021 vs Essendon

    The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in today's Elimination Final against Essendon. 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.

    The Schache for JJ ‘bait and switch’.

    The Shaq composure to Vanda at the top of the square was probably the sealer. Also, finished off a great game from Shaq which included taking his chances from two crucial set pieces

    Yeah I feel the moment was probably Schache setting up Vandermeer and him sealing it. It looked like that broke their back and the Bombers never looked like getting back into it.

    Was the moment 10min before the game? Were the inclusions of Gardner and Schache always planned? Was this a bit of mastery from Bevo? Whatever the case, these two ins and the two outs were the moment for me. Carrying JJ and Cordy may have proved too much in that first half. Schache two laser goals were important too.

    Not in play but that melee at half time seemed to fire the boys up. Agree with that delightful kick by Schache which I think was meant for Baz which VDM marked was super important.

    Roarke Smith won a one on one, handballed to Duryea, Roarke Smith blocked, Duryea to Schache, goal.

    Good point. It’s fortunate it went to VDM. Baz would have butchered it.

    No he wouldn’t have.

    Smith disposal is iffy but he is one of the few midfielders in our team who can run and carry the football.

    That Duryea pass to Schache and subsequent goal was a thing of beauty.

    Great call! Not only the pass but Duryea also made the spoil.

    Well I know he probably kicks it from the goal square, I was being facetious, but pointing to his awful disposal.

    I don't know if it's THE moment but the smother early by Flea was a sign of things to come from him. He kept us in it early so we could steamroll them later

    What a return to form for so many in the second half, it felt like a bulldogs game again.

    Doc kept his feet and composure ditto Bailey Williams , Easton Wood was strong in the contest, Dunkley willed himself to the contest, Treloar stuck a tackle and created separation from the contest, Naughton was jumping at anything and everything and Bailey Smith didn't panic with ball in hand.

    Amazing the difference when you get an even contribution across the board and you bring the heat.

    A nice stat for mine 17 inside 50 tackles well above our season average of 11, territory was king today.

    Cody's second goal from a free (that he didn't even play for - I think it was a push int he back?). He plays as if he's a foot taller and the opposition don't know what to do with him.
