    THE MOMENT: ELIMINATION FINAL GWS vs WB

    The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in today's game against GWS 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 nominate the moment Bont missed the goal in the second to put us one point in front...............

    We were completely covered by everything GWS brought to the game, however, we managed to claw our way back due to some midfield changes and a change in the ruck that should have been a brief schism in the way the game was being contested between 35m-80m out from GWS goals.

    It worked and Bont was doing his bit, but he missed a crucial goal he should have kicked and it went down the other end and gave them some breathing space.
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

      Agree, that was a big moment.
      Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

          It's hard to go past Jeemaks moment. A telling moment that went unfulfilled. Still in the context of the game I doubt it could have motivated us sufficiently.

              Agree. I saw that coming days ago, we nailed those moments in 16, all trust from there is eroded.

                  The moment was when I realised GWS were not gonna be punished at all for any filthy dog acts all day.

                      That was it.

                      Bont needs to go away and fix this issue before he plays another final. His goal kicking is now a disaster.

                          Can't go passed it. That's the 'what if' everyone will think about going forward.

                              The moment the teams were selected and we went in unchanged, and complacent with a team built for the H&A season, not for finals.

                                  Lipinski's miss did it for me, was tempted to switch the tv off.

                                          Lipinski's miss did it for me too. At that stage we were still hanging on, still had some hope. But from that point on we did not fire a shot. The defence, under enormous pressure from the off, did as well as could be expected under the circumstances apart from a couple of real brain fades, skills ERRORS and rushed disposals. But, in the main, the defence is NOT where the game was lost. We were ministered by a team that went out with a plan. They had put targets on the back of our main drivers, they never let up and, together with the umpires' indifference and our failure to confront them as a team we got pantsed. The whole game should become "A never to be repeated moment" in the history of our Club. Go Dogs! 2020 awaits. 5 and 8 are my lucky numbers. 20 + 20 = 40. 5x8=40. The stars are lining up. In 2016 it was 55 years since we'd played in a grand final. We are heading in the right direction. Can't wait for next year.

                                                          Like a lot of others Bont's miss was the moment for me. Would have put us in front and ended up with a goal to them.
