We ran out of steam in the last quarter because we had used so much energy in the third quarter for so little reward.
Given the amount of time the ball was in our forward line in the third quarter we should have been ahead at the start of the last quarter.
As we were still behind at the beginning of the last quarter, the mental fragility of so many of our players was on show - they crumbled and that was the end for us.
So much effort in that third for little reward. Their defenders were under siege and we didnt hurt them enough. We just needed one more goal in that burst and we would have been a real chance.
