The Moment - Rnd 16, 2020 vs West Coast Eagles

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

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

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

About 3 minutes from final siren I thought it would be Naughty's miss.
About 90 seconds from the siren, I thought it was umpire flognut's moment when he paid against Timmy and Darling lined up...

But it has to be The Bont's clutch "goal"... so the Moment for me goes to Goalline Technology... thank you for being a steaming pile of rubbish!!!

[hujsh]

Not until that last English mark.

Though Bruce taking a mark instead of providing his previous comic relief made me think something might be going right.

[Topdog]

The Bont goal. 55m out and gets it dead straight

[westbulldog]

The umpire who called the Bont goal, his eyesight is good to the millimetre :D

[Hotdog60]

When Toby gets a high tackle in the forward pocket in the dying seconds I thought, We've got this!.
:)

[Eastdog]

- Bont Goal
- English mark right at the end in their inside 50.

It had to be when GVG was the calm voice of autHority at qtr time when all others did not and could not believe.

[angelopetraglia]

Bont. Captains goal. Huge.

[josie]

Of course Bont goal but here’s a few others:
1) Cordy tackle (I think it led to Roarke goal)
2) Timmy’s big mark in last minute or so

[SonofScray]

Cordy tackle.
Bont Goal.

Flip a coin.

[Grantysghost]

Cordy tackle I agree that was mine. Huge moment, they were getting their tails up and we hadn't been able to convert.

The game day thread brings everything out of us at the time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

The be honest, when Darling kicked into Gardner at 3 quarter time I thought of the Gibbs, Steve Waugh world cup moment.
It's strange because it would have been an unlikely goal anyway but I sensed things weren't going their way

Bonts goal was telling

I was confident Darling would not be the one to put us away. He is the text book looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane footballer. Jumps at his own shadow. In fact, I'm giving him a vote in our B n F count tonight.

Bevo at the selection table :) - he picked the right team

Thanks, I needed a chuckle.

[Happy Days]

Darling missing. What a bozo.

[ratsmac]

Bont's goal was huge but Darling was such a Darling and missed because he knew he shouldn't be have that kick was a pretty big moment

[Sedat]

English juggled mark with 40 seconds to go. Ball was still in a dangerous part of the ground and he took the heat out of the remainder of the contest.

[Vred]

When the final siren sounded, even re-watching the game knowing the final outcome it didn't feel like it was over until it was over.

Cordy's tackle on Kennedy hasn't gotten enough praise. It was immense. Resulted in a goal for us that otherwise was headed into their 50 where they can convert easily.

Yeah, that was a key moment, especially as it wasn't long after Cordy fluffed the handball that gifted them a goal. Was a nice fight back by Zaine.

[The Pie Man]

No deliberate OOB call on our last F50 entry and then Libba winning possession from the stoppage.

Quarter time was obviously important for us to reset.

He's a big moment tackler! Our first GF goal for 55 years resulted from one of them.

[SonofScray]

That handball was really odd. He turned himself inside out with his own arms, was it his non preferred?

[comrade]

It was a strange piece of play, from the initial handball to Crozier, who then gave it back and immediately fed Cordy into trouble, who then attempted some inside out handball to Hunter who was already surrounded by multiple Eagles anyway. It was only going to end one way, which it did.

Good on Zaine for sticking to it though, his tackle may not have directly won us the game but it certainly saved us from losing as the Eagles were rolling at that point.

Was a thing of beauty.

JK ain't exactly small, either. Like he took down a wildebeast.

[Axe Man]

I think Josh forgot he is 33 and Zaine has long arms.

[Eastdog]

Great tackle. Thanks for bring that to our attention again Grantysghost.

He learnt how to tackle a wildebeast by watching Morris take down Franklin on October 1st 2016 at a similar stage in a game.

Now that was a legendary tackle. Will be in the mind of all Bulldogs supporters forever.

That's a tackle any rugby full back or winger would be proud of.

Perfect technique.

I've said this before but that moment sums up Bulldog history more than anything else. No person embodied the Bulldog spirit more than Morris. Undersized, not super skilled, just dogged determination despite being broken. Then the ball spills to the big dollars kid who (we know now) truly carried the burden of expectation like a weight around his neck. But he scoops it up and just goes for home because in that moment, Tom Boyd was exactly who we all hoped he would be, and for once he believed it too.

Every time I feel jaded about footy I think of that passage of play and I'm in love with footy again.
