    And so it continues. I know technically the margin blew out in the last 3 minutes, but this was another game in the balance and we failed to close it out (yet again). We need to get so much better nailing the moments in tight games.

    I just wish we didn't trade our first rounder if this is how the club expected to perform. It's gonna look like a bad trade come end of season when we're mid table.
    That does look crazy in hindsight if we didn't think we were top 8.

    I would suggest reading the tea leaves on Bailey Smith maybe forced our hand to chase a young mid.
