The Moment: Round 19, 2021 vs Melbourne

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

The moment, the best, most courageous moment that caught your eye in this evening's game against Melbourne. 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.

Marra’s Goal.

[westdog54]

Richards' back to back efforts in the first quarter. One to stop a certain Melbourne goal. The second directly led to a goal for us.

[hujsh]

Marra’s Goal.

This, Mayyyyyybe the Bont goal before but this one for sure put it to bed

[chef]

Bonts goal.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Bont to Marra.

That was both a moment for the now and the future.

[The Pie Man]

Bontempelli with two key moments in the last obviously, but Bailey Williams again pealing off and winning a dicey moment in D 50 was huge

[GVGjr]

Bont to Marra.

That was both a moment for the now and the future.

That was the moment for me. Bont gets the goal and then the next clearance and pin points a pass to Marra off his right foot.

[Grantysghost]

Bont to Marra.

That was both a moment for the now and the future.

Mine too. On the opposite foot no less.

True. For me, the kid in just his third game, a slow first game all the media, hype and pressure and he’s almost got our fortunes on his boot of not just the win, but putting scars on Melbourne, top of the ladder, locking up top 4, after an amazing lead incorporating a shimmy step. To just go back with al, of that and slot it from 40. Perfection.

He doesn’t need 15 touches, he just needs to impact when he has an opportunity. That awesome shimmy step lead was on Jake Lever. No slouch. He needs to stay in the side let him get a look at Adelaide, Hawthorn, Essendon & Port.

When Brayshaw tried to shirtfront Hannan after he kicked the goal. The whole team swarmed into the fwd line and pushed off the melbourne Players. Showed team was really united and was not going to put up with any rubbish push and shove from the snowflak Dees.

Baily Smith pulling down one of the Melbourne players and casually walking away was even funnier.

Marra goal.

Agreed, and then from the goal line video feed it looked like Tim had done it and was copping flak.

[azabob]

When Pickett kicked the goal to put them 4 points down and he jumped into Neal-Bullens arms like he’d kicked the wining goal after the siren.

It was just odd...

Two plays, with six consecutive possessions in the last.

First play, Macrae to Libba to Bont, GOAL.

Second play from the centre, Macrae to
Bont to Jamarra, GOAL.

No surprise that Jack was instrumental in both.
He’s as Bulldog as we’ve ever had with his toughness and competitiveness.

Don’t discount Sonny’s tackle on Oliver in play no.1… Oliver is seriously strong and Sonny pulled him down with ease.

That was huuuuuuge.
Sonny has a massive future..
I can handles execution mistakes.... this fella brings heat and intent. The boy's alright.

[westbulldog]

Hannan's mark and goal and May spitting the dummy.

[Mantis]

That was huuuuuuge.

Yep.. some of his handballs are head-scratchers, but his kicking is better than I thought and his pressure and contested play is really exciting.

He’s pretty much in our best 22 now and given how far back he was at the start of the year… well, kudos to the kid.

[Eastdog]

Bont turning it up in the final term. Some great moments there that were pivotal in this tough game.

His mistakes are experience based, he's gonna be fine. Once he works that out he has the ability to really be an improvement on Dahlhaus. that can only be a good outcome.

His last quarter was insane. We lose if he doesn't lift, in my opinion.
Have we ever had a better difference maker?

Triple that, not everyone is Bont starting out. He’s making a few mistakes and a bit too heavy on the backward handball. But I can absolutely live with that for all his strengths. That we are doing what we are doing while blooding him, Marra, McNeil, Scott and Weightman is crazy. Plus debuting a new CHB to put next a new running defender. It defies logic that we can keep winning while fast tracking development of our elite talent and filling key defensive spots with a couple of guys who’d never played there before this season/week. But we are, so *!*!*!*! logic.

And Kudos to our recruiters.

[bornadog]

Bont's goal - when he kicked that I thought we had won.

[Bulldog4life]

The moment to me was Bevo's team selection. There were doubters but Bevo you are a genius.

[The bulldog tragician]

The moment was whatever we did to stabilise and then counter punch, hard, when they stormed out of the middle twice in the first minutes of the third quarter. That was very mature, somehow we were again 20 points in front just when they were all macho posturing and congratulating themselves. There is great belief in this group.

[jazzadogs]

Only 9 touches, 1 goal, 0 tackles. Pffft he needs to be better :p

[Ghost Dog]

Hannan kicking his last.
Bevo backed him in. Well done Mitch. In your face Melbourne.
Can he take a break from being the whipping boy on here for a week? :D

This moment my fav moment of the game.

I knew we’d win when jamarra slotted his kick from 40 odd out

[bulldogtragic]

I just realised, he copped an elbow in the nuts for good measure. Bonus points for that too.
