Big lesson from the last 2 weeks (and a few other weeks as well).
If you are only running at 99%, its not good enough.
Put the foot on the throat, and keep it there until the final siren.
Give the opposition half a chance and you will lose.
Last 2 weeks show that we can match it with the best, but still lack experience in big games. Hopefully, we don't need anymore learning moments and take the hint from here.

I suspect that learning how to handle clutch moments or the closing stages of tight matches takes longer than 1 week.

Small forwards been a bit messy all year and cost us twice in a row in big time games - think Motlop is the best small forward we have and probably need another.
Anyway three key mids were missing but Crippa, Doc and Setters had the better of that battle.
Boys got stage fright first half and froze - need experience and hopefully this game is in that direction. But the mistakes and cold feet last few minutes has been unbelievable past fortnight. Lost to a team that came 17th last year.
Continuity with players on the park and we are top four.

In the first, Quainor pushed Silvagni into a Collingwood teammate. Cost us a shot dead in front.
Ball goes down the other end - good honest pack marking contest, somehow a free kick to Collingwood who goal.”
Exactly. Fell apart after that little sequence. Not an excuse but was a trigger for the poor choices that followed.
The momentum swung and that was that.

Stephen King would have been proud of that one.
If you wanted a nightmare, horror story to scare young Carlton kiddies it would pretty much follow that plot.
The match lived up to all the hype.
It will now go down in Magpie folklore...not so much ours.

Sad ending to a season. If this one doesn’t hurt enough we will never learn what it means when people say what ever it takes. Get the results. Get the job done. We can’t be a serious threat until we have this mentality. Collingwood is a good side. Unfortunately almost every side above is is almost a non win contest. That doesn’t create a serious threat and every side knows if you turn on the heat and pressure, you will have every opportunity to beat us. Head strong yet? No. Mentally up to the challenge? No. Work rate up to standard for four quarters? No. Not quite there yet. Will 2023 be any different? Time will tell. We played our last 11 games to beat Essendon, Fremantle, West Coast and GWS. Not a great finish to a season. Injuries yes. Lack of real ticker, yes again. Time to really think about next season. Serious thinking. I would expect some changes. Voss was very good. He needs to get more mental toughness. More desperate efforts. More delivery on the scoreboard. I have faith. Just have no interest in the finals series. None what so ever.

And remember they played in a GF IN 2018 and prelim in 2019 and made the semis in 2020. Sure they were 17th last year but have a very experienced core that have played in many big games and we have SFA in that regard except for Williams and McGovern who have played finals campaigns at other clubs.

I'm now reduced to anticipating the demise of the Pies.
