PP....lots of "ifs"....fact is we've been doing those things and making those mistakes/clangers consistently over quite a few years now. Under Teague there's been way too many games where we've played one shocker of a quarter and then spent the rest of a game playing catch up...occasionally pinching a game. Our skills at critical times in games continue to let us down and we've just got too many panic merchants in the team that turn it over easily.
Yes, we were close enough in both games against Richmond and Collingwood....but the cold hard fact is we lost them both. And lose this week and go 0-3 and it's another year of not playing finals. If we continue on like this, it becomes harder to retain someone like Cripps, or to attract quality players from other clubs.....Saad and Williams would've been sold a picture of a club on the rise and a top 8 finish right on the cards.
