Bugger. Just finished watching the delayed telecast and am actually pretty gutted.
Makes for a good comparison with Hawthorn who just have that touch of class when it matters.
Couple of times in the last, the ball was just centimetres from bouncing/tapping/rolling to our advantage but we just don't have the confidence and finesse to 'make it happen'. Also not sure why our forwards are allowed to be pulled off the ball in marking contests but, oh well.
Like most others, I'm a big fan of E. Curnow's workrate and g&d, but twice in the last quarter he needed to hit his target but the kicks were poorly weighted and not directed to the advantageous side of his teammate allowing the Swans an easy spoil. As mentioned, often it's these degrees of measure which make all the difference.
