Herculean tragedy, dropping one point at kick off again (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relaunch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'herculean tragedy dropping one point' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'at kick off again' is the wordplay.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'kick off' becomes 'launch' (I've seen this in another clue).
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'launch' put after 're' is 'RELAUNCH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for relaunch that I've seen before include "Begin (enterprise) again" , "Again introduce" , "marketing operation" , "New introduction of old product" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
