The only difference is, that a real side would have put Freo away with 10 minutes to go when we kicked all those behinds.
we really failed to pile on the scoring when we needed to, which made it much closer than it should have been.
Freo were crap. They got 2 free goals from non existant frees, and the final free kick was the karma bus hitting them, not us getting one we were owed. We bank the 4 points, and that game was almost as dissapointing as the Hawthorn game for mine.
IMHO, we need to start taking our chances, and the magnifying glass needs to be on Cripps for his ability to take a regulation shot for goal, and impersonate Levi from a few years back when he was as unreliable as a broken watch.
Bit similar to Brisbane. Their kicking at goal is terrible at times. Kept North in a game they were dominating. Easiest 1pt win i've seen (North did kick the last one after the siren).
Moral of that story is to finish your work off so as not to make life as hard as possible for yourself. We are winning regularly but we are experts at making life so hard for ourselves on a weekly basis whether it's poor disposal, poor kicking at goal or allowing big swings when we are in control.
