yeah? Which game am I thinking of? was def against hawks, made an error in the goal square, also kicked one out on the full. The only errors I recall him making

Just checked and you're right..
Chapman suspended
Pretty sure it was Bartel who made the error in the goal square. Watched that last quarter many times.
Bartel often moved himself to the goal square late in games to cut off goals, but this time it didn't work out for him.

The 2010 Grand Final, definitely. Was biting hard on my fingernails and cheering every St.Kilda tackle, mark and disposal.

I'll never forget those last few minutes;

- Goddard's unbelievable mark and goal.
- Macaffer finding space on the boundary, resulting in Cloke's goal to put the Pies in front.
- My heart momentarily sinking when Dawes' shot from 55m initially looked like it'd go through.
- To this day, I remain convinced that Milne pulled in short on that awkward-bouncing Hayes kick. Not surprising he left it to dribble through, though. He's the most gutless footballer of all time.
- Koschitzke should've marked that ball 30m out, directly in front with 20 odd seconds left. If he held onto it for just a split second more, it may have been paid.
- The final throw in > piece of play on the members' wing resulting in a stoppage, the siren blaring followed by a collective gasp ringing around the MCG.
- An unforgettable sense of emptiness washing over my body after the countdown clock on the scoreboard went back to 7 days. And what a strange week it was that followed.
- My sheer disappointment the following Saturday... Not just because Collingwood won the premiership, but the fact that St.Kilda really should have won that first Grand Final. They blew it, big time.
Yep, that still blows

that sounds right, must have changed bartel to enright in my mind for some reason. Bartel more fallible than enright, in my recollection.
Good game, but I haven't re watched!
