Fans are too focussed on the Harry, SoJ, Cripps or Charlie missed set shots, that focus creates a smokescreen for the incredibly poor ball use that is happening further up the field. A big part of the poor goal kicking is the repeated leads that players get burned on, too many wasted efforts means wobbly legs and racing heartbeats, which is not conducive to accurate kicking, then a miss adds further wasted effort. A very nasty feedback loop.
Wasted efforts are wasted energy, and that also plays out at the end of the game when we've had a big chunk of the play for little return and have nothing left to give.
