It's pointless fans complaining that we had 1 goal between them, when they are in range of goals.
We took a clear A-Grade strength, and turned it into a B-Grade weakness.
All those "terrific 1st Qtr I50s", barely crossed the 50m line, it's a lie of statistics, our entries were shallow and wide and largely ineffective.
Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Charlie got 100% of his possessions in our forward half.
Harry got 77% of his in the the forward half as well.
As for the 1st quarter inside 50's....shallow, wide or otherwise, we managed to turn them into scores. So not sure what your beef is with statistics. Your argument works against you.....but as Tom Jones will tell you "Thats not unusual..."
