The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in tonight's game against Carlton. 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 think as an alternative, Bont's vital clearance very late in the 3rd, hard scrabble to win possession, and then a deft left foot jab that hit Bruce, I think it was, right in front for a goal..

The fightback had started; 4 mins to go in Q3, Stocker kicks to wing but Smith chops it off leading to wild, desperate scramble involving Lippa, Smith, Daniel, then Hunter kicking to Bruce who marks and goals. Minutes later Naughts marks and goals to close margin to 14 points at 3/4 break.

When he hit up Naughton early in the Pies game, I was going off and a Collingwood supporter turned to me and said 'don't get used to it, he can't kick'. I think about that guy often and hope he's ok.

We sat on the opposite wing this week and had a different view, right in front of us when Harry whacked Bailey dale after he kicked it. It was cheap and pathetic.

They knew we were coming, and we sure did.

Caleb's one-handed mark in the fourth that set up a very clean chain of possessions and resulted in a Bruce banana. Brilliant. Really convinced me we were going to win it.

MIsses by the Carlton forwards in the 3rd. McKay, Silvagni, Cunningham missed very gettable goals to essentially take it beyond reach. Any of those go in we are done and dusted.

Treloar's goal certainly shifted the momentum. But I though Lachie Hunter launching throat first at the tackler to earn himself a shot at goal - and nailing it - was huge and we looked the winners from there.

Hunter had as big an impact as you would see for a 14 possession game on a half forward/wing.

Treloar’s goal from the boundary was the best moment.
Naughton’s strong mark in the square when we were starting to muscle our way back in was the moment I thought we’d salvage this one.

Have to give it to Bont. Where last week his miss felt like where it all fell apart, when he kicked it this week it felt like he got us back on track and I felt much less anxious about the game even though it was still completely up for grabs

I rewatched the game and as sweet as it was I did not feel as if the game was swung by it. I really didn’t feel comfortable until we actually hit the front, especially after Bruce one and only miss for the day down 3.

A shit moment was when Bruce's goal was overturned. I get it was a line ball call by the goal umpire but how the "arc" could overturn that from the available video evidence was borderline cheating.

Not quite.. Eddie kicked his 5th and then Silvagni, McKay & Williams missed very gettable chances before we went on our run of 8 in a row.

Both Silvagni and Williams should've nailed their chances and if they did I doubt we were coming back from 5+ goals... Carlton supporters are slaying their $800k a season man for not making the distance from 40m which is beautiful!

Yep... I mean maybe it was right but who knows. The technology isn't suitable for that kind of determination. And at the end of the day someone in a room made a 50/50 call, just as the goal umpire had to, only they pretended that technology provided definitive evidence to back up their call... really poor decision.

I was watching Bruce's reaction and he didn't celebrate when the ball went through, which he usually does, so I wasn't surprised when the decision was reversed, but I haven't seen the footage which as per the discussion is inconclusive.

Yeah Bruce didnt celebrate at all and even after the goal was given he seemed like he knew it would be overturned.

Every commentator said straight away that it was a point and maintained that stance during the review.

Irrespective of whether Bruce celebrated or whether the commentators thought it was a goal or point, you can't use long range vision to definitively make that call. It's madness that they'd try to with a straight face. All you need to do is look at how the logos are painted on the grounds to see how silly it is.

That critical win in the middle that led to Hunter getting the ball and kicking to Bruce for his 4th just before 3q time. Signalled that a switch had been flicked.

Both bang on. Imagine in cricket ‘ball tracking’ for lbws being just whatever the tv umpire thinks. It wouldn’t be ball tracking, it would be guessing overriding the umpire who was is good position. I just can’t fathom how that ‘evidence’ is enough to override umpires. This was about eliminating howlers, not making more howlers.

For me it was Bont's kick from the wing that pin-pointed JJ in between three Blues. JJ went on to kick it to Naughton who put us in front in the last quarter. Bont was a beast yesterday; real captain's game. That pass was sublime.

The evidence to over turn the goal was not conclusive and the goal should not have been overturned.

Exactly! The camera would have to be in the direct line of where the ball is coming from and the post. Bruce's kick was even curling to make it even more impossible to get the right camera angle. If the camera is just centre of the goals it is no where near accurate enough to over turn the umpires call who was right there in best position. She was confident enough not to ask for a review in the first place.

I’d like to nominate a few minutes before 3/4 time. Naughton chased after Saad who was running out of the backline. He applied enough pressure for the kick to go out on the full. Wood took the free, kicked it into the goal square where Naughton took a great pack mark and goaled. Sliding doors...if Saad had effectively got it into their fwd line and they’d kicked a steadier, who knows what could have happened.

Zac Williams having his shot from 45m out in front touched on the goal line by Keath I think it was. That would have put them 5 + goals up.

He looked sore to me, but he has been underwhelming.

Carlton have a few they have brought in that seem to be underperforming. I would also question their fitness staff as Cripps is a shadow of himself and when does Martin get on the park.

Not saying they shouldn't be questioned but I don't believe Cripps is a good example. Carlton coaches absolutely ruined him through overuse and perhaps he also did that to himself a little bit with his general nature and always trying to do it all himself.

He's had some really good games in the midfield (was outstanding in the 2019 PF win v Coll), but he hasn't shown the capability to play the role week in-week out.

Compare his conditioning & output to Treloar and it's chalk & cheese... whilst admitting it's a little easier playing in our stack midfield as opposed to Carlton's.

This is spot on.

He was a good pinch hitter for GWS, without the pressure of needing to perform there regularly. Mostly it was the odd quarter with the 2019 PF being his really outstanding game as a midfielder.

Seems to happen so often when a player changes clubs. The new club either decides they need to bulk up or slim down - and it dramatically impacts performance. I wonder whether Carlton have thought with Williams playing primarily midfield, they needed to bulk him up to handle the inside game more, and that is hurting his game. As a back flanker, his game was all about speed and run/carry.

So many of Carlton's mids seem to have trouble running out games (Dow can't nail down a spot partly for this reason).
Wiliams and Cripps look a bit heavy, and McGovern is nicknamed 'brackets' for this reason. Makes you wonder why they went out and poached Justin Cordy with a 100% salary increase (rumoured).

It shows he is able to do it in as a one off with no consistent pressure to perform there and no one targetting him.
