The Moment: Rnd 20, 2022 vs Geelong
The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in tonight's round 20 match against Geelong. 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'

I think it all started with that down field free. That damn down field free
Really released the pressure valves and to their credit and our failure Geelong seized the moment from there.

It did. That goal. Then another straight away from the next centre clearance and they were off to the races. They then kicked some incredible goals from tight angles in what can only be described as a rampage. But it did all start with a fake free with such a harsh penalty being down the field 15m directly in front.
In saying that, we need to be better to hang tough when thing don’t go our way.

Gary Rohan's second goal out the back in the second quarter. That's when I realised we'd stopped running both ways.

In contrast to the failure to pay a downfield free to Ed in the match earlier this year

I turned it off when they got the lead in the first few minutes of the 3rd. We have never chased down Geelong once they have the lead in the whole time I've been watching football. I guess that counts as the 'moment'?

when Dud Miers kicked a goal from a tight angle on the boundary - if that arse can kick from there then we have no hope.

We’d started to show signs of falling away in the 2nd, but when aselwood had a word to the umpires at half time, that seemed a big moment.

Bruce missed a sitter.
Our mids rely on stats more than moments. They *!*!*!*!ed this up. Idiots.

Re: The Moment: Rnd 20, 2022 vs Geelong
There were a lot of moments where we made errors that they pounced on and scored from. Good sides do that. West, Daniel and Hannan had some bad moments - but they were not alone. Cordy dropped a mark he should have swallowed. English could have booted the beJesus out of the ball when it was on the ground, but instead tried to toe poke it. They got it and ended up with a goal.
But for me the JJ miss was the start of the downslide. They really went to town on us after that.
Big three weeks coming up. Chance to make history should be the theme. Make history first, then a whole new scenario unfolds.
Making the finals represents, strange as it may seem, a step forward for the Club and is so important for our younger players like Jamarra, Garcia, West, Buku, Richards.

I’ll go a positive one, not match defining but my fav - when Garcia had a crack at Selwood in the second quarter. Totally unprovoked - just some aggression and intensity on display and I loved it
Didn’t turn the game back our way unfortunately

Good one Ashmac. Was it Garcia who responded (bit later Bruce) after Cody was felled inQ4 too? Garcia’s got the RWB guts and grit we need. Too little of it on show last night after Q1.

Geelong adjusting to our centre bounce setup after half time.
Bevo mentioned it in the press conference. I need to watch it back to see what they did but clearly that's the catalyst for their win.

Bevo also said that it was Dangerfield who was the man made it happen for them. He was the main influence from Bevo's perspective in that 3rd quarter.

After that goal the tv caught Cameron, Smith and others giggling like school girls knowing they got away with that free.
