We won the centre clearances, so I'm not sure Brisbane would have an advantage in that space. The what ifs I posed above are regulation stuff, not wild scenarios - 9 times out of 10 Betts would kick those, and 9 times out of 10 Stocker would not skew the kick so badly.
I'm still of the opinion that we are not as far off as some people think.
Old Betts might have, but he's been having trouble hitting the scoreboard, so no guarantees.
And you still have to factor in Brisbane's 'what might have beens' too.
If we looked at the game again we'd probably find three or four of those.
But you may be right on where we stand...I'm actually a bit surprised at some of the level of early angst in regards to this match which, while justified in some cases, seems to have gone up a level again this week.
