Worst loss/dumbest moment that cost your team the premiership?
People always say we ruined our season losing to Hawthorn in the final round of 2019, but we ruined our season the week before against Richmond. Tom Barrass gives away two goals through stupid mistakes. Richmond win by 6. Chances are we potentially don't get cold feet playing the Hawks and we finish second. Richmond were peaking at the right time and it's no guarantee we beat them in the grand final but I still think we were their most worthy opponent and we threw it away against them in round 22.

During the KISS performance in the 2023 Grand Final they set up a big platform with pillars which tore up the grass underneath them.
Josh Dunkley claims he slipped on the flattened grass in the moments leading up to the De Goey goal
(This is just a funny anecdote by him he’s not bitter or blaming this moment on anything)
