One Quarter Lapses In Games
Tonight really we lost this game with a poor 10-15 minutes at the end of the 2nd quarter. We actually won the 2nd half on the scoreboard but resoundingly lost the 1st half on scoreboard due mainly to that poor bit in the 2nd quarter. How do we rectify this going forward in games and absorb the pressure better when the opposition starts putting us under siege.
Discuss.

Was the same last week in the 3rd, young team so its understandable.

Bevo just mentioned it in the presser. The team need to sustain a four quarter effort.

2nd quarter v Richmond, 3rd v Port, 2nd v Brisbane. The top three teams. 4 quarters is an understatement.
The players are at fault, you can't relax for a moment in this day and age in footy.

I don't think this is right. More than not being able to "RELAX", you have to:
1/. Score when you have your moments.
2/. Minimise opposition scoring when they have their moments.
We neither score enough nor can we minimise the damage...what can I say. Vs Port (first half) and Brisbane (last q) we had our chances to score but just couldn't do it...when they had chances, they did.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Maybe I used the wrong terminology. I should have said drop the intensity and effort in some of the quarters we leaked multiple goals.

That's Footy.
Everyone has there purple patch in a game. It's about making it count on the scoreboard and the pressure that results from that, that determines the result.

It takes 4 quarters of Bevo football to win, and one quarter of opposition football to be beaten.

Sometimes 4 quarters of Bevo football doesn’t win. Typically 15 minutes of opposition football wins. It’s not a great formula

I think last week was a real opportunity lost. Had them on toast.

Defence of centre very solid but forward of centre we weren't and even with that poor 3rd quarter we were a lot closer last week in the game and if we took our chances we would have won.

Re: One Quarter Lapses In Games
We can dominate a quarter and end up 1, maybe 2 goals up at best.
15 minutes is all it takes for a good side to rip us apart, then they cruise in second for the rest of the match.
Our whole system is broken.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: One Quarter Lapses In Games
I thought last night we had a 2½ quarter lapse. From the second half of the the first quarter to the end of the third quarter we were dominated around the contest. For Bevo to suggest we had a lapse in the second quarter only he is in denial.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: One Quarter Lapses In Games
If we can solve this question we would have a terrific side
We've lost against two quality and in form teams on their home patch because of 10 to 15 minute lapses, I'm not devastated by it.
We should be learning a bit from it

We should be, but are we? We should have learnt a lot since 2017 to now, but I'm not sure we have.
