I don't feel Bailey Williams has come back at quite the high standard of that match, he was extraordinary in that last vital contest that led to Bont's goal.

The Bontempelli set shot against West Coast.
A guy having the yips might look to give the shot off or play the percentages with a kick tot he top of the square. Bontempelli said "screw that" and despite some misses in the past two years took the responsibility himself to seal the game.
In general, Naughton's contested marking and Treloar's running goals after being told for months he can't kick.

And Bailey Williams so cool in the 3 on 1 contest he found himself in. Good of Duryea not to get sucked into the contest and have the confidence to back his young teammate too.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Consider also, at the same time last year Josh Bruce probably doesn't have the tank to get on the end of Bailey Smith's kick, let alone chisel it onto his captain's chest.

I did enjoy Treloar's first kick.
"I'll give him a hug before the first bounce and then I'll run into my pack and give them orders to rip him apart."

Absolute bliss.
Agree. How far we have come and how far they have fallen since the Elimination Final.
I will never see #16 the same!!

That really was good commentating. Lyon was also the first to talk about how good the kick from Macrae was to Naughty

Re: Favourite Moment of the First Half of 2021?
Vandermeers goal in that West Coast game was awesome, probably my favourite moment so far.
I should leave it alone but you're not right
