In terms of chess piece moves during a game. Do you recall a game against geelong 2003/4 ish I think it was down at the cattery and ayres moved ricciuto to FF in the last qtr and he won the game off his boot in the last ten minutes??Was it 2006?
Travelled to Melbourne to watch the Bowden brothers play kick to kick keepings off. Think we were undefeated til that game & Craig was clearly outcoached by Wallace. Craig refused to have a plan B.
Was one of the very rare occasions we won at the Cattery... as have mostly forgettable games there.In terms of chess piece moves during a game.

Always stood out for me that one
Yep, that’s the game!!Was one of the very rare occasions we won at the Cattery... as have mostly forgettable games there.
Was this the game Ayres gave the finger to a member of the Cats after the game who had been giving him heaps during the game?
North just got overrun. Had played something like 12 in a row at night and with an old list in the sun just got overrun in the second half. Couldn’t keep up with Adelaide.He just unleashed McLeod.
Crows were lucky that Pagan used Sholl v Hart for Pagan's paddock & not Carey.
north's inaccuracy hurt them most. game should've been over by half time.North just got overrun. Had played something like 12 in a row at night and with an old list in the sun just got overrun in the second half. Couldn’t keep up with Adelaide.
It’s amazing something quite obvious that it was 1 player who has the intelligence to suggest it.Jason Dunstall taking the playing group to the shade at 3 QTR time against Brisbane. Absolute genius move!!!
1997 pf as well
Modra goes off injured early. Jarman and smart move forward and McLeod goes to the middle for the first time for the year. Turned the game in the second half.

Leigh Matthews telling Akermanis via the runner to get in front of Lynch for the crumb and not behind him.
Nek minnut Akermanis crumbs a ball in front of Lynch and kicks the goal that sealed Brisbane's 2002 flag.
A shame Fox don't do that Lips of Lethal style coaches box comments of the GF like they did back then, it's never been done before or since.
I think Lethal only allowed Fox to release his coaches box comments of that GF as it makes him look a coaching genius with the Aker move.
Great fun to be at the ground. Get in front on the scoreboard, Bowdens playing kick to kick in the backline just wasting time. When Adelaide finally stopped guarding space and decided to pressure them Joel just stood on the goalline for as long as possible and then walked it over for a point. Rinse and repeat.Terry Wallace playing keepy off against a rampant Adelaide in 2006 worked so I guess it counts.
Woosha throwing Hunter forward.
Sadly, that was his only gameday move.
That wasn't woosha's coaching though was it?Are we talking about the 2006 AFL grand final?
Because there were a couple of key moves that got the eagles over the line.
One was the Daniel Chick smother which lead to an eagles goal.
another late season move was Quentin Lynched got tackled. had he not connected the ball with his boot, holding the ball with an open 50 metre arc despite the ball in the centre square.
Andrew Embleys heroics in the final quarter. I still remember him taking a mark in the back pocket late in the game.
I was renting in East Melbourne at the time and wandered up to watch the game. Was supposed to meet a mate but he got the time wrong and turned up with 5 minutes left in the first with Gilham being stretchered off and us five goals down and me already a few in having given up hope. Turned out to be a cracking afternoon!Really random one, and I don't know exactly what he did, but Clarkson during a game against St.Kilda at the MCG in 2011.
Saints kicked the first 5. Stephen Gilham did his ACL in the first quarter, meaning debutabt Luke Breust was playing a full game instead of managed time.
Clarko came down and coached the rest of the game on the bench. Hawthorn kicked the next 5 and won the game easily by about 6 goals. Something he was saying or doing on the bench made HEAPS of difference.
Sticks in my mind because I was there live and I don't get to a lot of games.

Few good games that year, was nice being able to stagger home. The Freo game where Buddy and Rough missed and Cyril played FF and kicked 7 I think to 3/4 time?
