Confirming what we all know, here are the stats for us in games decided by a goal or less (ergo, a game where a goal in the dying stages could change the result):
Played: 13
Wins: 1
Draws: 3 (!)
Loss: 9 * (asterisk for the bullsh*t EF)
Makes for some sober reading, & it is something we desperately need to address. It has been the difference between making finals / top 4, & I think it has a corrosive effect on team confidence
Carlton seem to have emerged from their close-game woes this year - we have no excuse not to do the same
Thoughts on how we can address this
