Last quarters

[The Real Deal]

You would say that apart from the Collingwood game we've ended off each match with a poor last quarter. In at least 3 of the matches we've been in winnable positions and have dropped off the intensity. In the Melbourne game we were also outscored. Against the pies we were obviously pumped and were able to carry the good form through the match- and what a difference that made!!!

Any idea as to why it's happening? Surely it's not fitness as the guys have been training since October. Against Adelaide we had an excuse because there was no bench. But that doesn't explain all the other matches.

it almost seems as if we are not fit
but remember these guys didnt have to run under pagan
so it might be a bit strange
i think the intensity just needs too lift a notch in the last quarter
we do it in the first
but in the last we just seem flat footed

We lost every last quarter so far this year, which is disappointing. Not so sure what it would be, but hopefully we can work on this during the year.

We are the only team in the competition not to have won a 4th quarter in 2008
