Yes it was a brilliant tap and his awareness of King was A+ however Butler in that passage was phenomenalEnrico_Misso wrote: ↑Mon 15 Jun 2020 9:10pm Don't just look at the stats!
Apart from reducing the Dogs key play-maker lines-runner to an ineffectual game, Gear's set up an inspirational goal with a brilliant tap to King who passed to Hill which led to a Butler goal.
It was a pivotal moment in the game.
Had Gears taken possession he would most likely have been tackled or forced to retreat ground.
But he knew King was there and executed perfectly.
It was a heads-down moment for the Dogs and the moment when it looked like we would win the game.
And that brilliant match-winning tap from Gears earned him ZERO stats.
Butler who was dead centre wing ran on and received the handball from Jones 70m out then handballed to Geary who tapped it to King who turned around and handballed back to Butler who had kept running and then from the 50 hit up Hill with his left foot and then continued running to receive a dodgy handball from Hill at his feet which he calmly picked up on the half volley and then ran into an open goal 2m out.
So he started on the wing received the ball 3 times and dribbled through a soda from point blank
Brilliant from Butler
