    The Moment: Rnd 2, 2023 vs St. Kilda

    The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in tonight's match against St. Kilda. 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 still had a flicker of hope in the 3rd quarter but when Jones was caught holding the ball in the dead centre of the ground and the saints goaled that was it.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    The defensive 50 turnovers in the first quarter that led directly to goals were my moment as a collective.

    1. Evidence our midfield was getting belted
    2. Our composure under pressure wasn’t there.

    That was a huge moment. Real energy vampire stuff.

    It was a telling moment but you could see it coming and it did knock the stuffing out of us.

    Yes, that was it for me. The flickering candle of hope was finally extinguished and I was plunged into a cold, dark, underworld accompanied only by my misery.

    Haha very good.

    It was almost like he couldn’t believe he had space in the middle of the ground and got confused! Took two steps too many.

    I think we can mark that down to being out of the game at the top level and the Saints amazing relentless pressure.

    That was a shame because it was the right option. One of the few times we were daring & unfortunately got burnt on that one.

    When Saints kicked the first 3 goals and then Naughtons first set shot goes for a point.


    How does it get to a stage where a team is 3 goals ahead in the first 8 mins of a game?

    3 mins into the 2nd quarter , its 4 goals in front and Mattaes kicks his 2nd goal ( first year player) . To the teams credit they get the game back within 5 points at half time. Then 3rd quarter, they kick 6 goals. 4 goal ahead threshold appears again and the game is over ?

    Here we go, same old same old as last week, the same cracks appearing and problems crawling out.

    Like to welcome Zaine to the talented club of talls who can kick multiple goals on us.

    I starting screaming no no no no no no on repeat as soon as he got the footy in anticipation of how that was going to play out and what it would do.

    Phillipou immediately after half time for me. We had the momentum - that turned the tide

    That was the moment for me. They went bang bang and we hardly touched the ball. I thought this is not looking good.
