Re: AFL Rd 23 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Collingwood - Pratty - 08-22-2022
We now have 12 months to wait to see if we make the finals for the first time in a decade!!! It's not about the preseason or round 1. We simply must make finals in 2023 and make a serious dint in the finals series.
This could be a learning curve, this past month in particular. This could make us hungrier, or this could have been our opportunity, our test, our time, and we missed it.
You simply cannot just assume we will make the finals next year.
It's bloody infuriating, flopping like we did, basically being comfortable getting close. Like I have said for a decade, close enough is NOT good enough. Period.
I have kids now wanting to barrack for other teams. We had a chance to keep young supporters, and we have blown it again for another year.

In theory.... the Cats got North and WC twice this year!

Opposition kicks 10 less points for the season and we are in. 10 lousy bloody points! Brisbane game, got back to within 15pts with 2 minutes to go and we give up 3 goals to lose by 33. Give up just one and we are in finals. Not to mention big leads given up early in the year for one kick wins.

And my elder one has become more passionate, finally they’re getting a taste of real hatred and rivalry with the other big Vic Clubs!
Bring on 2023 - we were too injured this year and still too reliant on Cripps, surely Voss and Cooke have seen enough and will fix the problems!

As disappointed as we were yesterday trudging out of the ground enduring all the Filth celebrations, we both said "bring on 2023".

Record membership coming imo - the devastation will bring people closer to the club and support it.
Top 4 or failed year

Let's face it, we all gave Collingwood supporters the finger after we came back from 44 pts down in the 70 GF, we all cheered loudly when Harmsey order 3 beer while retrieving the ball in the GF of '81 and hands up those who DIDN'T have a wry smile on their face when Dom Sheed threaded the eye of a needle in the 2018 Granny??
We trip and stumble at times, but not in Grand Finals like some teams. Next flag, Blues or Pies? You'd want to make it this year Maggies (which you won't) because we are hungry like the wolf!!

Just read interesting information.
2022: most players used
WC 37
Carlton 37
Not sure how accurate but seems about right. I know folks say injuries are no excuse, but compare the pair.
2021 9 v 13
2022 17 v 9
On top of my wish list. A list with "average" health instead of what we've had in recent years.
Go Blues 2023

Injuries absolutely play a part - take Melbournes three of six best midfielders out and they will crumble like no tomorrow.

We saw what happened when May was out!
