    The Moment: Rnd 14, 2021 vs Geelong

    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.

    1:30 to go, Libba should have let the ball go out of bounds, or Weightman should have marked. We just seemed to lack composure to hold on.

      Umm…when Rohan kicked the goal at the end?

        Naughtons injury, Bruce went to the ruck and we had no big men to contest in our forward 50.

          The Scott and Bont easy misses start of 4th. Last quarter. Game truly on the line. We have all the play and momentum. Could’ve sealed it with those 2 goals.
          I will never see #16 the same!!

            Game's done. Really disappointing.

              In retrospect Bono’s rare miss hurts.

              The actual moment was when we gave up the tap on from Selwood to keep the ball moving their way. Sit on that footy and we win.

                It was the first two easy misses. Perhaps at 50 seconds Scott not going long and chipping the ball around for 50 seconds.

                  We had to find a way to either retain possession or get a stoppage, letting the ball out in space was criminal in the final seconds and to let them go coast to coast was so Bulldogs like.

                    Last two minutes for me.
                    Yes we missed goals..so did Geelong.we were still in front with 2 minutes on the clock and had 3 opportunities to control play.
                    2 to Duryea, and 1 to Scott.
                    We managed each of those poorly, and failed to eat clock.
                    I said clock.

                      From Scott’s defensive mark with just over a minute remaining, not having the wherewithal to eat down the clock from this point.

                        That feels a little like two wrongs make a right. I don’t care what they did in their finishing skills in front of goal. I do care what we did and the very easy ones we stuffed. We should have kicked them. We should have iced the clock. We should have won the game. We did none of those things.

                          Yep, would have been 2 goals in front, and Geelong get deflated.


                          We end up losing games because of poor kicking, and this won't get us far in finals.

                          Who was on Tom stewart ? He killed us tonight with his contested Marking.

                          Hate it how they managed to clear the ball out of the back line and end up with Rohan in the last 30 seconds.

                            Selwood diving at the ball to knock it forward was the moment where our ??structure?? was exposed. Why my screen was then filled with Geelong players streaming forward, I don't know.

                              I can't work out why we had so many forward with less than a minute to go with the lead.
                              That coupled with the fact players thought there was two minutes to go I think our time management at the end there was way off.

                              This loss is getting worse as time passes.
