The Moment: Rnd 12, 2023 vs Geelong
The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in tonight's game 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'
Or was it a collection of moments that you thought 'oh dear that's sure to produce a flood of WOOF melts on par with GG's post GF loss..

We refuse to improve. And wonder why we don’t improve. Why????

they probably rested Dangerfiled this week, as they knew we would choke.

Outside of the abovementioned, one thing that really got me annoyed was Weightman not taking responsibility for nailing a goal in the last and doing the "unselfish" thing by going short.
He's a small forward, he should eat those shots for breakfast.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

When no one pushed up to man Stewart. We just looked at him and thought : isn't it nice to leave the best intercept defender in the game on his own all night.
Right. In. The. Way.

3 1/2 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter and McNeil misses from what, 25m out ? Add to that 1 kick and 5 handballs. Our selection committee is on another planet picking this bloke.

I actually thought that was one of the reasons JOD played was to play on Stewart.

We were 11 points up. We had all the momentum. They looked shot. We just need to ensure no easy looks for them. Play hard footy. Take our chances.
Libba does a Hail Mary handball to try and find Treloar in the middle. He handballs looping and backwards. It goes no where near him. Geelong snatch and go out the back and off to the races for an easy turnover goal.
After that moment we didn't kick another goal for the game. They kicked six goals in a row from the Libba Hail Mary. It reminded me of the Bailey Smith intercepted handball that started Melbourne's run in the 2021 Grand Final.

Goal after the siren. Red time goals are killing us.

Re: The Moment: Rnd 12, 2023 vs Geelong
Bont's set shot miss from straight in front. He'd already missed a very gettable shot earlier in the game. This one was to send us two goals up with all the momentum, routine shot, yet somehow it always felt like he'd miss. On a night where we squandered our opportunities in front of goal, the skipper lead by example.
