Hahahha I just remembered that point Sharp kicked for them
Jeremy Sharp has now kicked a behind to win (vs Swans), a behind to draw, and a behind to lose.

Thread title is a banger 
We lost the battle of the pretenders. Sad times.
Went up by 25 and put the cue in the rack thinking it was job done. But it wasn't.
Feels like we lose every centre bounce in those big moments. And convincingly. Like the opposition walk it right out the front straight inside 50. Needs to change.

Well **** me that hurts. Our lack of composure in tight games late I guess makes sense given the age profile but **** me they need to do get comfortable in those spots even beyond the midfielders not turning up - what was that last few minutes from Clark for instance.
I may owe Fyfe an apology, but Erasmus wasn't far off it we only lost by 1 point.

Just got no support from the fringes.
Leave some of them in Melbourne.

One error, he made. Every other possession was very well constructed and to the teams advantage. How typical that people would drag up his one mistake. Clarke made a lot more errors than Erasmus. As did most of our players. Sharp was very ordinary, as well. Didn't see Jaeger or Freddie or Emmett.

Clark in those closing few minutes.
For all his good this year, close to sending him back to the cats.
Jesus.

I don't think that's true. Your midfield was much better, smashed us in the clearances. Your accuracy was also a product of the quality delivery into your fwd 50. I think we made our like bandits here. I'm hoping you guys can course correct, would like to see you win the flag.

I'm honestly trying to reconcile how we could miss finals with how we've looked for so much if the year. Talent all over the ground, I don't think I'm bias saying that, midfield that is close to breaking records on clearance, incredible key forwards. Is it all the small moments we've fluffed? Am I that bias on our talent?
I can honestly say I've had more fun watching us this year than even 2022 with some of passages being breath taking. It feels very weird

Okay so venting aside, some positives from the game:
- Ignoring the last ten minutes, Young was elite this game. How good was that running goal from the centre bounce! So excited to see his growth.
- Treacy and Amiss with 3 goals and 4 goals respectively will carry us to premiership success
- Sturt has now kicked 17 goals in 8 games at 71% accuracy. His growth has really improved our forwardline.

There is no chance we were ever getting through a winning finals campaign without playing in a close game and we are terrible at close games. We are also terrible at holding leads on the road.
Our football in isolation is good enough, but there's more to it than that and we fail at pretty much all those things.
It's 100% all the small things. Because they aren't talent, they are experience.
The most infuritating thing is that we were dominating clearances in the second half. Then when it matterd most we gave up like 5 centre bounces in a row or something like that.
Really dissappointing that the fault is basically entirely on our leadership group. Serong, Brayshaw, Switta, JOM, Young all in the middle and all completely crumbled. Incredibly poor leadership.

Look I’d love to give the kid a go, but it was a no pressure couldn’t make a decision error. Could even of handballed it to the player riding shotgun. It’s inexcusable.
He wasn’t doing anything that warranted remaining on the field either. He was given a game and was miles of grabbing his opportunity.
I feel for him. I’d love him to just be given a block of games. But he’s out next week.
