They had three good players and we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and what made it worse you could see it coming as a spectator. GWS were building with Greene leading the way and we just let it happen.
If you combine both our second halves from the last two weeks we have kicked one goal over the total period of a game, thats Mark Arceri stuff.
Leadership on the field has to get better, instead of slowing the game down and reducing momentum(Luke Hodge said same) we just continued to do the same stuff that was getting us nowhere.
Cripps and Docherty need to take more control and direct play better than they are doing....probably missing Daisy Thomas as a experienced winning voice on the field who could direct traffic and read the game better.
Yes, we've kicked 1.9 combined in the last 2 second halves. We had the shots in the 3rd qtr but kept missing. Last 7 second halves have been similar....13.42! Opportunities but inability to kick straight. Cost us games.
