Clarko just said on 360 - our win was the best and most courageous he’s seen in as long as he can remember. Says was an incredible coaching performance as well. Said us and Cats have had unreal years and had it the hardest all season. Means a lot coming from him.
I loved how Bucks had him repeat that question, just to drive home Robbo's ridiculousness.A million things he could open with and he asks Bucks the intricacies of banging on the bin at the end of the game. Fair dinkum.

I reckon there were at least 3 in that passage of play. All sides do it and to pick 1 out and say it cost the game is just petty. Particularly when there is no way to say what would or wouldn't have happened afterwards.

You wanna flog me, why wait 3 weeks, I'm ready now.
On The Couch showed the behind the goals vision from that last passage of play and it showed us really well set up in the back 50 with a spare defender. So even if a free had been played it wouldn't have been a certainty that West Coast could generate a scoring shot.
Why wouldn’t he like Hawks more than Pies?
Was a pie Premiership coach, was the best ever player of all time at the Hawks.
I think any player prefers his exploits on the field than off it.
Plus the Pies moved him on against his wishes. Bad blood there.

Some posters were really angry and upset at Ryan holding the ball out to Maynard. For me, the final word on his action rests with Maynard, and he had his arm around Ryan after the game and was deep in conversation with him, evidently respecting the man and his skill. If Maynard can forgive him for the taunt, I am sure that I can.
2017 HA, 2018 GF, 2019 HA, 2020 EF all decided by less than a goal. Pretty crazy consistent rivalry eh?

it is but I remember they had some crazy close near on identical games with Sydney back in 2005/06/07, so maybe its more them than us
If I was having a guess I'd almost say each coach picked the opposition players more often than not.
Bucks - Naitanui 5
Simpson - Naitanui 5
Bucks - Adams 4
Simpson - Mihocek 4
Bucks - Ryan 3
Simpson - Cox 3
Bucks - Darling 2
Simpson - Treloar 2
Bucks - Greenwood 1

Might change the Darling & Treloar. Bucks hinted that he thought Moore did a good job. Treloar carried us in the first 3 quarters. 22 disposals.
Actually good point, I did hear that. Although Darling almost won them the game.
Agree
Ryan and players like him are the reason I love footy.
We won this game because even our poorer players on the night found a way to contribute. 3 players in particular i want to highlight:
1. Jayden Stephenson - That effort in the last quarter where he came back to spoil was fantastic. I think it was Ah Chee on the boundary who looked in and spotted a player 30 metres out directly in front. Stephenson came out of no where for the spoil and saved a certain goal. That's exactly what a wingmen needs to do...get deep into defence. Huge effort
2. Brodie Grundy - The ragdoll tackle on Darling was huge. It was at that moment when I knew we wouldn't be going away in this game. It was a big effort from a guy clearly labouring to bring down one of the strongest players on the ground. His big clunks in the last quarter were huge too.
3. Josh Thomas - His effort in the last quarter to win the ball on the flank against 2 players, stand up in a tackle and get his hands free and the find Mihocek was what led to one of the greatest finals goals you'll ever see. I'll show that goal to grandchildren, and it doesn't happen without Josh Thomas' effort. Also, Grundy took a huge clunk down the line before that. Two efforts from our quieter players on the night.
We will win a lot of games when you get those efforts. We've had too many passengers this year. Guys like Thomas and Stephenson have been unsighted in games, and haven't found any ways to contribute. However, they each found a way on the weekend. When the margin in only 1 point...those little efforts are the difference between winning and losing

Great post. We had no passengers.
Nice stuff.
And Cox took a strong defensive grab when we were coming out of our D50 in the last quarter. Cameron took one in D50 too.
So many clutch moments. Too many players to praise. Very proud of the team.

Cameron’s marks behint the ball were pivotal. Was more then a few in the second half. Was huge for us.

This needs to go on the West Coast board with one simple quote. "Thoughts?"
