Er most teams lose against the top teams. Thats why they are the top teams. And no we don't have shoot outs. Apart from those two stunning conclusions your point was?

Errr... Brisbane did. Geelong did last year. Essendon did during its run. etc.

How can "most" teams lose against top teams? Only "most" if you include bottom 8 sides. Someone has to beat the top 8 teams, and that would be the best teams.

No, we don't have shoot outs, but kicking > 100 pts is not shootout (except perhaps in the mind of some Sydney supporters who have strange benchmarks). However if we kicked more goals we may win more games against top sides. Given the OP, it's generally a lack of goals for (rather than too many against) that sees us fall well behind.

And in case you can't interpret data, the part you quoted was about not winning when behind.

And don't forget win a premiership and get within a point in another. Shocking!

And don't forget without your favourite kid terrific we wouldn't have a premiership (and we probably wouldn't have made it within 1 pt in the other).

Does coming back for a draw count? Oh well, at least we are getting closer.

Can I officially apologise for starting a thread in which I pointed out that we had not had a first quarter lead overhauled for basically 3 years.

We have now had 2 solid first quarter leads lost back to back....probably for the first time in 40 years.

As well, we proved (yet again) that if we go 20 points down it is all over.

Interestingly in the Hun this morning the reporter referred to our "customary comebacks" and said something like "this time they fell short." Why am I more informed than a full time reporter? I would be lucky to see 6 quarters of football a week, FFS.

We have had 2 (successful) comebacks in the last 4 seasons and they were both in 2005!!!! We have had at least 12 UNSUCCESSFUL comebacks, though.....
