We appear to run out of legs a bit after our initial onslaught in games and this causes a loss of concentration and focus due to that fatigue. I suspect it is a result of not knowing how to control the pace of a game - when to let rip and and when to shut up shop for a while. May reflect a lack of on field nous/leadership which we have discussed before. If we could control the pace of games better I think we would generally perform better. Teams see us tiring and then hit us atm.Agree...our captains are good footballers but inexperienced captains, a player like Hodge would have slowed the game, and positioned his troops in our close games. The two years he had at Brisbane are paying off now I reckon and they now how to both rally when headed and close off games better than we do.
