    The Moment: Rnd 22, 2023 vs Hawthorn

    The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in tonight's game against Hawthorn. 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'

    Or was it a collection of moments that you thought 'oh dear that's sure to produce a flood of WOOF melts on par with GG's post GF loss..

    Picking finals side during the week.

    Naughton missing all day.

    Not sticking tackles.

      I had a sense things were tipping against us when Newcombe scored from 55 out. I knew we’d lost it when Breust got the tripping free. Turned it off about two minutes later.

        I was just about to write the same. A couple of misses by Lobb didn't help either.

          Naughton’s first miss after that big hanger.

            Probably too little too late but that first centre clearance in last qtr where Treloar was penalised for throw which wasn’t one. Kick the first goal and who knows? Really though our ability to lose when up by a reasonable margin/crumbling under pressure/inability to adjust is a consistent theme for years.

            Our day will come
            And we'll have everything.
            We'll share the joy
            Just like '54 again.

              Dales miss kick to Bont from full back. They goal and got their tails up and we dropped our heads
              BB.

              Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

                  Dogs have one last chance to steal their season back, with 30 seconds left, and Tim English runs around the backline before the opportunity passes.

                    The moment was the 3rd quarter when we failed to kick a goal. That killed the game.

                      When Lobb missed the set shot in the last quarter, tough kick 40 m out. If he kicked it ww would have been in tbe lead

                        This will sound very harsh. BUT..... The moment we started well, and then my phone went flat. I knew we would lose. (I was at local footy in Newport).
                        I JUST EFFING KNEW IT! I didn't see anything, or hear anything, or do score checks in the second half but I just felt it in my bones. Deep inside I knew we would lose. It's learnt behaviour now. It really is. Maybe it's learnt behaviour for the players too..... it just seems inevitable.

                          The tripping free came after a really stupid decision from Ed not to rush the footy and reset. Instead he kicked a shank to a contest twenty five out and we couldn't clear the area.

                          I was super pissed off at that.
                          TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                            How good was his 35 sprint without bouncing too.

                            Awesome player, but made some horrible mistakes today.
