Ok here we go
.
At least 21 schoolboy errors in the last quarter by my counting
.
* 4 gettable missed chances at goal.
* 6 fundamental skill errors (eg: dropped uncontested marks, missed open targets under no pressure).
* 5 ill-disciplined acts (unnecessary frees/50m).
* 6 lack of game awareness acts (bad turnovers from dumb decision making, getting run down from behind, not going hard enough at the ball, etc.).
18:50 to go - Missed chance: Aarts fails to score from 20m out. (83 - 55)
16:50 - Lack of game awareness: Maybe harsh but Hugo too easily pushed off the ball by Casboult. Suns goal. (83 - 68 )
12:30 - Skill error x2: Jack's handball not on the full. Castagna sprays his kick to a Suns defender. (89 - 68 )
10:20 - Missed chance: Maurice misses set shot from 30m out. (90 - 68 )
10:10 - Lack of game awareness: From the kick-in, Graham too slow and caught. (90 - 68 )
8:16 - Skill error + Missed chance: Double error. (91 - 68 )
(1) Broad's kick fails to hit either Jack or George.
(2) Aarts misses again from 20m out.
7:50 - Ill-discipline: Suns go coast to coast from the kick-in and Grimes gives away an unnecessary down the field free for a late push in the back. Gifts Gold Coast a goal. (91 - 74)
6:45 - Skill error: Grimes' first dropped mark. (91 - 74)
6:11 - Ill-discipline: Riewoldt needlessly gives away a soft free on the wing. (91 - 74)
6:00 - Missed chance: Castagna's infamous miss! Our last score for the game. (92 - 74)
4:40 - Lack of game awareness: Rather than maintaining possession and taking time off the clock, Graham plays on and kicks it long to a Suns defender. (92 - 75)
4:08 - Ill-discipline: From the resulting play, Short gives away 50m and a goal. (92 - 81)
3:40 - Ill-discipline: Riewoldt gives away another soft free for another unrealistic attempt. (92 - 81)
3:20 - lack of game awareness: Tarrant quickly plays on and kicks to a 1-vs-2 where Witts marks uncontested. Should have maintained possession or least waited and taken time off the clock while giving us time to set up down the line. (92 - 81)
2:11 - Lack of game awareness: Maybe a picky one but why give the responsibility of a kick-in with the game on the line to a youngster in Miller who has played only half a dozen games?
Plus again we don't try to maintain possession and wind down the clock. (92 - 82)
1:30 - Ill-discipline: Miller gives away an unnecessary free when we had more numbers around the ball. (92 - 82)
1:18 - Lack of game awareness: Resulting free kick allowed to go over the back of the pack for a Suns goal. (92 - 88 )
1:00 - Skill error: Maybe harsh but Edwards runs over the ball. Suns gain possession. (92 - 88 )
0:43 - Skill error: Suns go forward, Grimes drops another mark. Leads to winning Suns goal after the siren. (92 - 94)
