Re: Rd 5: Post Game Party!: Carlton vs. Fremantle

I think we missed far more of the easier shots than Freo, they had two significant misses to regain the lead but they were under scoreboard pressure at the moment.
We missed easy shots for four quarters, from almost no pressure early to some late shots to ice the game when we were in front.
Freo scored too easily entering F50 early on and we tightened that up later.
Its a weekly occurrence. Think back to the Sydney game and I mentioned this in the post game thread, it was the 2nd qtr and the game was tight with Syd holding a 12 or 13 pt lead. We then missed 3 sitters in a row (from memory the offenders were Cripps, Curnow and ??). Syd then went bang bang bang, 3 goals in row and the lead blew to just under 40 points in a heart beat and the game was over. Our kicking for goal costs us so many games its ridiculous.
