7.7 to 7.1 at halftime. Blown then and there by the players not the coach.
Saints only had 3 more scoring shots than the cats 23 to 20.
Saints kicked 10 behinds...the cats kicked 8.
I just scratch my head how the players blew it.
The side that beat us was marginally better in front of goal, just by the barest of margins.
I think you are incredibly harsh.
We effectively lost both GF's by a kick.
You could go over each of those games and point to just about any event or stat to 'prove' just about any theory you care to.
It's brain damage territory.
I'm sure the coaches and players all replay moments and wish they'd done better.
Ross himself mused about it when interviewed walking of the field on the day, he knew he should of given Luke a couple more 'bursts' or something like that....that was what he himself processed as a major reason for losing.
I guess I get annoyed that since then, he mentions players running into open goals and missing, and nothing about his own 'what ifs'
You're all in it together.
