when did you think it was over?
just wondering when we all thought it was game over?
for me it was when Geelong kicked that point to put them 7 points up with a few mins to go. i remember it so well, slowing rolling and rolling and no one there to stop it, then as it went through the roars from the cats fans. i felt my heart drop to my toe nails when they got that point.

"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."

When Chapman kicked that goal. I know there was only 6 points in it, but we didn't even look like kicking a goal up to that stage in the quarter so thought it would take a miracle to kick one now. When they got that extra point, my head went in my hands and I don't think I saw the remainder of the match....

Knew we couldnt win it after Chapman kicked that goal
Knew we had 100% lost it when they took a mark from the kick out after the last point we kicked. For some reason I still held hope that they would do something incredibly stupid at the kick out, we bang one through and we all come back next week

When Roo bowled over Blake (?) in a marking contest running out of defense, turning it over for a Geelong score...thought we looked tired and overly desperate, starting to lose control.
Of course, I was punching the couch after Schnieders first shot at goal (after Monty and Kosi missed completely) yelling "we'll friggin' lose with kicking like that you idiots!". Little did I know, I'd see worse as the game progressed.![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)

when ablett was making a play in the centre, jones (? i think) made a great tackle the ball bounced away but scarlett gently kicked the ball in midair and the ball landed in front of ablett again, total fluke (chapman goal after that). that ball could have gone anywhere..... and we had loose players
we were 7 points down, but attacked again, we managed to kick another bloody point so 6 points down. the ball is kicked in heads near the wing and a geelong player took a mark. i was wondering where king/gardiner, etc were. that was the moment, that was it. i knew time had run out then......

That was my moment too. We thought that they we're really tired when the ball was turned over and running out of legs.degruch wrote:When Roo bowled over Blake (?) in a marking contest running out of defense, turning it over for a Geelong score...thought we looked tired and overly desperate, starting to lose control.

when i was having a smoke at 3/4 time outside gate 3 and a bunch of Saints supporters were carrying on as though we'd won and serving it up to Geelong supporters, high fiving, whoopin' it up, blowing kisses and bragging about it being in the bag
Maybe not the very moment, but the one that really set in the worry that the 4th quarter compounded

I thought so too. At that point my heart sank. Until then I really thought a draw was a very real possibility.BakesFan wrote:It was the Geelong kick-in after our last behind.... we were 6 points down, and The Moggies took an uncontested mark from that kick-in..
Before that, I thought we could still salvage a draw.
