    Re: Close games - what is going wrong?

    Does winning games on expected score, but losing them in real life, not put a lot of the blame on the players skill level?

    It tells me that we have a game plan which generally creates opportunities, and restricts opposition opportunities.

    Whether we're entertaining is one thing, but the plan is generally effective - if the players convert their shots.

    Without going over it, how many set shots late in these close losses did we miss or put out on the full? How many opportunities did we create and leave begging? If Marra converted at the AFL average last year then we play finals.

    Re: Close games - what is going wrong?

    Its literal a 4 goal advantage the umpires are handing the opposition

    Against Essendon , their first 4 goals for bs frees.

    Tonight against the Swans there was at least 4. Amarty first goal , was not a free. Jones attempts to spoil. Utter rubbish

    Umpires are really ruining my interests on this game..

    Also that stupid over rule decision on the line by video, i cant recall who kicked it, Daniel??? Was putrid.

    We've needed a win like this for a few years. You could see how much it meant.
