Instead, it was a series of fumbles, poor decisions, and loose checking which finally got Coll'wood the goal which put a spring in their step and the rest was miserably predictable.
Had everything to play for today so I'll never understand the mentality or psychology of this bunch.
Teague gets a 2 out of 10 today.
The only positive is that we're a game closer to seeing a few players give it away ... I hope.
That was the main test, playing under this type of pressure for the first time since the 2013 EF. Good enough physically but didn't cope with it mentally when everything was on the line. That's why I want us involved in these games. When we are likely a better side next year I want to make sure we are mentally ready for big occasions when the time comes. It's learning. Half expected we'd $hit the bed. Big leap from the worst rabble ever to a finals contender in 12 months.
