    The Moment: Round 14, 2020 vs Geelong Cats

    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.'

    Bruce missing.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

      I thought Gardner's big contest and Hayes little derring do was pretty sweet.

        JJ missing that goal in the second, then they take it up the other end and JJ stuffs up I think it was a handball and they goal. 12 point turnaround.

            Chipping backwards and needlessly giving up field position when we were 37 points up early in the 2nd qtr (after JJ's poor miss). We went from having the ball on attacking 50 to giving it up on the defensive side of the square without them touching it. Then one possession after the turnover and they have a shot at goal and get into the game. We woke them up and got them into the game.

                Yeah, this for me as well.

                Not good enough for a leader all night. He needs to get some help because his head is all over the place and his form is too hit and miss.

                  It was like we decided playing tempo footy was what we were meant to do.

                    It was bizarre seeing us twice play defensive tempo footy and give up field position, gifting them their first 2 goals. It was the opposite of what we did in the first qtr. I was worried at that moment that we would lose our dare and allow a seasoned, well coached and experienced team back into the contest. Unfortunately that's exactly what happened.

                      That has to be a coaching direction, straight after the break.

                        JJ and Bruce miss in the 2nd was telling. Had a real chance to really space them
                        They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

                          Yeah will take this one as well BAD. Momentum shifted against us after that.

                            Quarter time. It was my favourite part.

                              We were 10 points up last qtr, tails up, streamed down the wing, JJ fumbled...that was it, for me.

                              Special mention : any moment when Dunkley rucked v Hawkins in the forward line.
