    That was 98, Robran did nothing in 97. We were smashed in 98, Robran was a problem but McLeod was a bigger one.

        Of the 11 behinds, 2 were rushed, 1 was after the siren - it was only really JJ that was a culprit of bad kicking with 0.3 - and those were outside or near 50 on the run. Of set shots, I can only recall Clay missing a set shot at quarter time, and maybe Dunkley also.

            But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                Was it three weeks in a row we missed shots on after the siren? I think we missed a set shot at halftime along the way.

                    No Daniel kicked his after the siren from the goal square after a 50m penalty. The prelim and GF we missed both times. A pretty freaky occurrence.

                        He was. Then the zone and defensive presses came in to counter that and we fell behind. Our total lack of defensive pressure from the forward 50m and midfield stood out markedly too.

                            Yep I don't think a player in our modern history had kicked that goal Bont did late in the prelim, and not only did it go through but it split the centre and was always going to the moment it left his boot. It was perfect execution. I've lamented our inability to kick that goal my whole football watching life, I still get a tingle thinking about how sweet he hit it. Macrae's goal late in the 4th to win the match while easy, would have been highly unlikely to have gone through either in the 2008-10 period IMO. Eagleton wouldn't have even made the distance given how much was riding on it.

                            When I picture the 2016 season in an image, I think of Bont hitting that kick on the run. It's probably a thread on its own.

                                                        - different mix of players in 2016. The difference betweenniur best player and our wind best player is nowhere near as hug as it was in 2008 through 2010.

                                                            Against GWS Smith missed on 1/4 time siren and Dickson at full time, as well as the McLean GF miss. Still feel there was another siren shot somewhere through the finals.

                                                            We were very good at having control late in quarters.
