They have tossed it in. Going through the motions of playing out the quarter. I reckon when Dow missed that sitter running in to goal, I saw the most emotion that I have ever seen from DT. He probably knows he's done, but was thinking, bugger, if he kicks that we are back in it.

it would have been a forlorn hope, but that miss, totally knocked the stuffing out of Teague.

If you want to know just one reason why Teague needs to go, here it is.

The concept of taking ownership, does not exist in our team. Charlie Curnow could have taken ownership and kicked for goal. What does he do, passes it to his brother who is in a perfect position to have a shot, after all he's kicked bananas from 40 metres out on the boundary line.

We have seen player after player pass from 40-50 metres out from goal all year,  to a player in a worse position. I have never been able to understand why the coach would not give one instruction which would apply to every player on the ground. If you are within that 50 metre arc, take ownership and have the shot for goal.

That turnover from Kennedy is symptomatic of two things about our team.  Firstly, Turnovers have killed us all year.
Secondly, most of our players lack a football brain. What you just saw Ed Curnow do, is a prime example of both. The man is 45 metres out and clear, why not take the shot. Instead he passes to Honey.
