Losing Margins

[TheTigerArmy]

Ive noticed that when we lose games we dont lose by much this has been getting better over last few years...its rare for us these days to get beat by over 40 points... And its usualy much less ...in the past we used to get regularily spanked when we lost...times have changed we are maturing as a team nicely...

Will see what happens when we play Hawthorn before I get too excited

Also our margins have been small because we have lost to sides we should have beat.

Its also rare for us to lose close games. Only close margin that was a loss in the last 12 months was the Geelong game. And that wasn't a close game, that was just us kicking a few junk time goals.
Loss margins in the last 12 months 57, 19, 32, 35, 9, 20.
Theres been a fair few close gmaes in that time, and we haven't lost any of them.

Maturity is a theme, huh, TA.

Average experience of the 22 against the Swans was 25 years and 5 months, and 105 games. Still a bit more maturing to come, just through the passing of time.

Have we lost any games where we've been in front in the final quarter?

I honestly can't remember the last time it's happened that's all
Maybe Melbourne or Gold Coast last year?

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

We've had 2 ten goal losses since 2011.

2 ten goal losses in the last 85 games
4 50 point losses in the last 84 games.

Nope. And only one loss were we have been in front in the second half (west coast game we were infront at half time but lose that lead within first 3 mins of 3rd quarter). So we havnt lost a game in a more than a year were we have been infront after the 3 min mark of the 3rd quarter. The days of that gold coast game are long gone.

Take heed Paul Roos. It was a disaster at the time but I think we can all agree it was a turning point...

I think we'll be doing better when someone starts a thread called Winning Margins
