It was Brian Lake's Herschelle Gibbs moment.
The Western Bulldog defender yesterday revisited a controversial free kick against Nick Riewoldt in last year's preliminary final, revealing St Kilda players were quick to remind him of the magnitude of his mistake.
"In the heat of the battle, a few of the opposition players mentioned, 'It might have cost your side a Grand Final spot'," Lake said.
Lake has laughed off the banter, but he will come face-to-face with the same players for the first time since then in Saturday night's NAB Cup grand final.
The Dogs lost the bruising final by seven points last September and Lake's bump on Riewoldt before the ball was bounced in the second half created a massive momentum shift.
