In recent times both Carlton (The Blues are now 8-0 in their last eight games decided by a single digit) and Collingwood have been celebrated for their ability to close out close games. We are the exact opposite.

Since round #4 last year when we beat the Tigers by four points, these have been all our results decided by 14 points or less.

Port lose by 14
Suns lose by 7
Pies lose by 12
Swans lose by 2
Giants lose by 5
Hawks lose by 3
Eagles lose by 7
Cats lose by 4

We are 8-0. That is not just luck. Something is going drastically wrong. Even you just limit it to games decided by single digits. That is now 6-0.

Our narrowest wins in that time is Giants in Canberra by 15 and then Carlton by 20 at Marvel.
