We never seem to bloody win the close ones in the last 12 years or so. Who has a stat…it won’t be good I’m tipping.

The Sam Lloyd game comes to mind but it didn't really matter in teh context of that year. Another couple against the Swans also

heaps. Port prelim 2020 is a biggie. But heaps, some big ones when given no chance due to injuries first half of 19.

Lost 3 in a row in 2017 as well. Also 2 after the siren to freo in 2 years. It’s worse than most think I reckon.

Over the past five years we've won plenty of close games by 5 goals.

It would be interesting to do a tally, w/L in games with say, under 2 goal margin? 10 points? Or under a goal? I had a quick look, we'd lost more than I remembered for sure, but we'd still be in front, or evenish? Few close wins to us over WC and Port.

The port game final.
The WC game at the G

With 2 minutes to go, we conceded almost immediately after Rioli kicked the goal.
There forward line was open, heaps of space and ours was like the Vic Market with $2 lettuce.
 
Round 1 2013 - Yarran misses a goal on the run late and the Tigers hold on by a kick or less.

The apparent injustices in those close losses in 2017 seemed to build our resolve. Here's hoping last night will do the same.

Also beat GWS by 4 points last year.
 
It's becoming a joke. But the commentators journos and opposition supporters are loving it.
