It wasn't that bad...it was like basketball, run down the clock, make sure the other team doesn't have a chance to score/win and make your final attack for the win or at worst draw.

Unless Subiaco is different from other grounds, AFL players generally don't know how long is left, unlike in basketball. At AAMI for example, the clock counts upwards from the start of each quarter, and doesn't stop for time off, so you really only have a vague idea of how long is left in the quarter. Certainly not precise enough to be able to pull that kind of play. The camera cut to Chris Connolly at one stage, and he was going berserk in the box, and rightly so.

It does count upward and it was difficult to know how much time was left... I had to text my brother for the TV time... I got a reply after the siren
But most clubs have their own clock watchers and even Essendon used to send Barnes out with different coloured caps to indicate how much time was left
I think they would have a failry precise idea as to how much time is left
