We had them on the ropes during the third two missed frees to Kent and Dunstan would have likely had us up by 13 points.
Sometimes that is what breaks a group.
The governing body will always support it's most valuable franchise Curly, I'm surprised you still havn't realized this.
Aside from the free kick bias, I'm afraid our style of play is demanding and about half our team don't have enough petrol to run out the full 120 minutes.
Just a bit hard to be positive when a team goes missing for a quarter of football- we have returned to the form of previous seasons. Four losses in a row means no improvement, no matter how much gloss anyone puts on it.

What happened to us being the 'fittest team in the comp' and 'we'll run teams off their legs.' That was the mantra pre-season. We're training to run out 6 quarters, not 4. In the end we ran out 3 quarters......

You can be fit but not fast, or fit and not play good football. I wonder what Richo said to the players at 3Q time? It sure had an effect!
Skill level will always beat fitness levels of you get my drift. Pies have it in spades. Saints have an average midfield in particular. It wasn't fitness, it was in the end much more experienced and more talented players. How would we go with Grundy and Sidebottom in our team?

You said that last week and the umpire got booted out. Your opinion is irrelevant

Oh, ok then, let’s wait and see what the AFL says about the game to make the conclusive decision then.
Learn the rules.

I didn’t see the game here OS, just AFL.com highlights, but it looked like some of those fourth quarter goals were freaky luck and skill from the Collingwood forwards. So I would like to ask, what was the tipping point? I can’t believe the attitude switch suddenly went to ‘off’ position. Was there anything you saw in the gameplay? Was our defense suddenly vulnerable or our mids broken? Did Collingwood pull a sudden move that unhinged us?
