The key difference is that in the vast majority of close matches Collingwood have won, they have been behind for most of the game, and certainly at three quarter time.It is strange how perception and narrative work.
A- Magpies win multiple close games and they are lauded for their excellence.
B- Lions win close games, shows they are no chance in finals.
Got me beat.
We've generally had a good lead we've almost thrown away.
Clear game management issues, altho our final couple of minutes was excellent in its ugliness. Whether it should have got to that point in the first place is a separate discussion.
