AFLW R7 - Carlton vs Fremantle @Ikon - Sun 1:10pm

[crashlander]

Losses early did cost us.
Not having Pound for the start of the year hurt more than people realise. Doesn't play a bad game does Pound.
Missing Walker for the whole year so far (and Dalton for the whole year) basically meant we had to change our style to compete.

Overall we've had a good year. Just haven't won the tight ones.

We lost to Collingwood by 6 points
We lost to Dogs by 6 points
We lost to Freo by 4 points
We lost to North by 22 points in the only disappointing game we've played......and we didn't have Prespakis for that one (or Loynes)

Add Walker and Dalton and i'd say we are a goal better side and all of a sudden we have only lost 1 game for the year.

Indeed. We have done what we could, but it hurts. We really should have won. We were the better team on the day. Unfortunately, when it counted in the last quarter, we couldn't produce. That has been consistent this year; our last quarters have been ordinary.

I'll comment more later, when I can get access to the stats.
