Was it? If it was I'll have to change my POTY voting I gave Otten the 5 pretty much purely on that tackle

Stiffy won us the game, Otten saved us from losing it.Won us the game with that tackle in the dying stages in Brisbane's forward line.
definitely Otten
I reckon it was Danger.

It was Danger. Bickley talked alot about it in the presser.

I'm going Danger. I called it when he first made the tackle, i caught a glimpse of his face as he looked up to see where the ball ended up, then BT was commenting about it and trying to see who it was. When it got to our HF line, he confirmed it was Danger

As accurate as your comments on van Berlo.
Danger put that last tackle on.
Brodie Smith was also called Dangerfield during the game. i wouldn't trust the commentary on knowing their AFC players. guess i'll just wait till some footage is released, because that will surely be in the highlights.

OK, my views on van Berlo is different to many on this board.
Build a bridge and get the **** over it
So I made a mistake on who made the game saving tackle. I wasn't the only one.
Excellent:
- We won a game from behind at three quarter time. Bicks mentioned at the after match he asked the players for a 'special effort' at the final break and they clearly responded.
- As been mentioned elsewhere, the proactive move of Johncock to the forward line. Craig would only ever make changes when the game was lost but Bicks was able to capatalise on our great work and showed confidence in moving Stiffy when he did.
- We finally won on the road! Fair to say the Gabba is now our home away from home given our failings in Melbourne.
Good:
- Only a few weeks ago I wrote off Jack Gunston but he's impressed me so much in the past two weeks. He seems a lot more confident and is hanging on to those marks he would've dropped.
- Our tackling pressure very impressive. Right from the get go! I don't think I yelled out about someone missing a tackle once.
- Riley should've played weeks ago! How good is his hardness?
Bad:
- Did Bernie Vince play?
- While the focus on kicking goals has been awesome our defence needs to tighten up especially with the Cats this week.

How long is it since we've won a game by less than 1 goal?

Furthermore, how long has it been since we've retaken the lead in the dying stages and held on to win!

I think this is a good point.
Some of it is probably due to the attacking style in itself - if you play the corridor you will get hurt when you turn the ball over. Still, Brisbane were finding chip passes in the forward line a bit too easily for mine.

seconded. May need to look at manning up when we take risks going forward and applying a zone/press when we lose possession but are ready for the rebound (e.g. free/mark/kick-ing where the play has stopped)
watched the match summary on youtube. definitely Danger, my mistake. have changed my votes.
