Last nights game ( except for 3rd term where they just outworked us ) and many this year have shown the fine line between success and failure.

Last two years - simple - could not get our hands on the ball.

For the first half of last night we had the ball and either made terrible decisions or poor execution. In todays football - turn the ball over and you are dead.

Bails decision not to fumble the ball over in the first quarter, Jones horrible fumble at centre half back - led directly to goals - and there were plenty of others.

The only tiny positive that I took away from a disappointing last night is - if you can't get the ball you are stuffed. Roos has to an extent fixed our most telling problem from the last two years - we can now at least get our hands on the ball - we just need to be cleaner and smarter. This will be a combination of the existing players using the ball better and getting ball users into the club.

(confusing stat ? - at half time or just before we were going at 82% Disposal efficiency - not the game I was watching !)

You've done it once you can do it again
Whatever you've done don't' try to explain
It's a fine, fine line between pleasure and pain

there's a word that sort of comes between Pleasure and pain , in footy ( many sports really ) Thats TURNOVER

we need to lose this each week !! Pain will then turn over into Pleasure
