Same thing happened against Melbourne when they had the lightning against West Coast. Cruising with a 40 point-ish lead before the break and it got cut down to 10 by the end.

It would be a little hard, game is essentially over and you've mentally switched off and then the other team gets a quick run and you can't just switch it back on.

In the English Premier League game Wimbledon-Arsenal match in 1997, the lights ‘failed’ 13 seconds into the second half with the score nil-all. This was due to a Malay/Hong Kong spread betting syndicate disrupting the power and was one of many such lighting "failures" in the League. In 1999 at Charlton Athletic, the syndicate were caught red handed. Back at Charlton, Thirteen seconds in meant that the game could be counted as completed and the score stand and a very nice risk mitigation.

Did a syndicate banking on at least Melbourne being competitive, flick the switch by inducing a power failure.?

Asking for a friend

No.

The Chinese haven’t followed the game at all since Port stopped playing games up there.
 
Lions should be embarrassed about the way they played that 10-mins after the restart, I saw a heap of their players just going through the motions with no intensity or desperation.

They virtually let the Dees do as they pleased thinking that there was no chance of them chasing down that 40-point lead. They squandered a healthy hard-earned lead and got themselves into a position of nearly having it pinched from them.

Do not understand why players put the cue in the rack like that.

Agreed. It was probably a coaching directive. I'm starting to think Fagan has taken the side as far as he can. Other coaches are starting to show him up and he often looks like he has run out of ideas during the match.

Not too disappointed with that resulted. Almost pinched the game despite playing only 10 minutes of decent footy. No May, Gawn, Pickett, Petty injured late in the 3rd. Any chance the umps can pay holding the ball? Zac Bailey got caught plum about 3-4 times and Neale also. Nothing. Lions deserved to win though. Their mids were right on top of ours most of the game.

Fair comment too, Fagan has been good for the Lions but you do have to question the instructions he issued during the 'lights out' break.

Carlton have been experts at 4th quarter fadeout in recent times!

You guys are goneski without Gawn.
Won't get near Sydney next week.

Pump West Coast though.
