@MickRandallHS Sigh

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@AdamWesterhout We’ve had plenty of practice without one.

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@Meilingday How did you manage that? (The court access, not the high five 🤣)

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@richo3000 It’s time for an uncomfortable conversation about Windler.

[statsman74 @statsman74]

It’s 2026 and the @nbl still doesn’t have blocks in its team stats box score. Crazy.

@NBLPleb I mean, when your opponents miss one FG for the quarter…you’ve just got to keep doing the same things….😆

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@JFalleiro @nblfacts A combination of not working for the league anymore combined with my real job being insanely busy for the last (nearly) 5 years has soaked up the time I’d normally spend on stats stuff.

Tonight was moreso me thinking we’d blown the last bit of every qtr….23-3 agrees.

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@nblfacts
What’s the actual stat for Windler (about scoring 15 points and W/L record) that is being referenced but with no specifics?

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@JFalleiro @nblfacts I’d suggest therapy. 🤣

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@nicktan77 23 to 3 over the last minute of the 4 quarters.

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@richo3000 @nblfacts They’re not saying undefeated, so I figure it’s a fairly lopsided W/L….just annoying they won’t actually say what it is.

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@historyinmemes Please do not show this to NBL management.

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@ollycaffrey Agree, but not for why you think.

All other things being equal, it could happen again - but the fixing of father/son and academy rules will mean getting superstars for peanuts will be impossible, plus tightening of free agent rules for high finishing teams - will stop it.

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@Bombers_Boss Barely at all. Freo kicked a goal almost immediately after.

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@Tedthekelpie Pretty sure he let go first?

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@myjointaye They kicked a point and a goal immediately after this. Lots went wrong but this was not that significant in the end.

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@10silversaxes Being a SD fan, can’t see the next 20 years or so going the same way for BL!

[statsman74 @statsman74]

@aussieruled Can’t be the worst miss of all time if in the end it was inconsequential.

[statsman74 @statsman74]

I think using it at home at a signal to lock in at a tight moment, to get the crowd going - I have no issue with that. But how it was used yesterday was not that - yesterday it ended up being a celebration moment and 4 minutes is a long time in footy, as everyone re-learned.

[statsman74 @statsman74]

Yesterday needs to be Freo’s villain origin story.

Those last 4 mins to burn & scar and create an edge in everything from now on,so when they are in future situations like that, it’s them winning the clearance, taking the mark, kicking the goal and winning the game.

Wharfie Time is being blamed for the loss, but I think that disrespects how perfect Brisbane were in those last minutes.

That said, if it contributed at all to a Freo player allowing themselves for a moment to relax or contemplate winning…then it’s a factor.
