The Moment: Rnd 5, 2023 vs Port Adelaide
The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in this afternoon's game against Port Adelaide. 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'

Damn that’s a tough loss.
When English went off for a spell in the fourth and the power kick three in quick succession.
We had all the momentum and couldn’t get it back.
More of an In Bruges guy?

The moment I felt best during the game was Bont gathering and kicking straight to weightman while being tackled. He knew how little time he had and used every last skerrick of it, hands still by his knees as the ball sailed away. Weightman kicked his fourth from that. Just perfect footy by both of them.

Todd Marshall's incredible goal from the boundary.
Got the crowd involved and gave Port an extra yard to two.

The Byrne-Jones goal just before half time gifted by a HTB free against Hannan, and later in the game the clear push in the back to Weightman not paid.

Libbas blind handball into the middle at our half forward.
We had them pinned down. 8pts up.
That handball went straight to Port players which allowed them to finally break through our defence. They then kicked 4 goals pretty quickly.

For me it was O’Brien not getting anywhere near spoiling that Marshall mark. The ball sat up, big pack and we let him pull that mark down. That changed the entire momentum.

English not in the ruck early in the last.
Whose bright idea was that?

Bingo. We were up on the back of our clearance work. Lobb didn't get it done versus other part timers, the clearance game swung and so did the rest of the game.

Yep, one thing we’ve seen so far is that our backline gets unsettled quickly and is slow to adjust.

Two weeks in a row players get legged in the goal square. WTF do we have 4 umpires.

And Bont not in the middle then either.

I'm not sure if Juice was on Marshall all night but for me it was when Bruce got injured and subbed at 3QT leaving one key back against Dixon / Marshall / Finlayson.
As soon as Juice goes off Marshall starts to get hold of Tim and effectively puts the game out of our hands with two goals in five minutes in the last.
I called for Bruce to be subbed late in the 3rd but it was the wrong call. He does some very ordinary things with the football and Gardner needs to replace him sooner rather than later but he was very solid defensively in the air last night.
