The Moment: Rd 4, 2019 vs Collingwood
So, once again, looking for the defining moment or the most courageous moment of the game.
I thought the slingshot play from deep defense early, hot contested play all the way through to I think Lloyd scoring a goal from a snap. I thought that was the final lunge that would see us wrest ultimate control.....
Instead it was really the desperate last lunge of our final reserves of energy that was the precursor to a killer response from the opposition .. kinda like Operation Michael March 1917 for the German Army.

The recurring moment series, Dicko’s fumbles. Hurt especially in the last.

The Gifted goal in the third quarter. I think it was Dureya (please correct me) who tries to switch play to COrdy. He finds Mason Cox who pops it over the top and the Pies goal. Momentum shifts, we take a 5 point lead into the last rather than an 11 point lead.

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

Stand corrected. Terrible from a guy of his calibre

Tory Dickson not being paid the most obvious in the back free kick I've seen for a long time early in the last. Collingwood then took it forward and kicked a goal...…..
Disgraceful umpiring, and as much as I love riding hobby horses, this is a horse that breaks my heart.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Most courageous moment - Dickson's mark. He had to run run back and lean back as the ball was way over his head so was in the most vulnerable position of all. Real guts. He had a dirty night but he had a few mates .

The moment? This sucks but smith running into an open goal and missing...that was the game right there.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Could’ve ran al the way in. The chasing pie was toast...

When you consider he'd executed the exact same kick earlier in the match it was a devastating blow.

Mitch Wallis turnover in the first quarter gifting them a goal was a shocker.

He makes one shocking skill error each game.
Get him back in the front half where it's less costly.

It was Libba's shocking switch kick that gifted them a direct goal for me too. He had a much safer option shorter available but he took the low percentage option. We had proper momentum at that stage with Collingwood on the back foot and not even looking like scoring. In such a low scoring game it felt like we just gave up a 5 goal lead.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

I would have to say this too.
