AFL Rd 15 2023 Carlton have the bye! - crashlander - 06-18-2023
Interesting to see what we do over the bye week. The bye has been lethal for some teams this year - coming back against a team who didn't have the bye has led to some embarrassing defeats. Should we be worried?

I think we take the lesson from other sides.
We've had a good win but we have to approach the next match with a clear focus.
Sides often have a down game, so all the planning should be around making sure that doesn't happen and we build on today.

Danger game, we all know what happened all those years ago.

Not sure we can lose this one.

Oh, we can find a way ... but hopefully not. We are better than this mob, but they are not as forlorn as they have been and beating Brisbane even down here is not a bad effort.

The rest can quickly take some of your momentum away. I hope they drill intensity and aggression during their training sessions to keep up a desperation for another victory. Not sure how our games have been after a bye. I think it hasn’t been great.

Different story in the NRL - every opponent gets 2 competition points without touching a ball!

That would sort out the committed from the non committed.
I suspect that just wouldnt happen these days.

We've recently read about the extra work that Harry McKay does on his game, and I bet he's not the only one. Add to that the sh1storm that has engulfed the club recently, I would definitely give the boys some extra R+R. They need to freshen up, recuperate and recharge a little bit. 14 weeks continuous football is a hard slog. What I would get them to do is some extra sessions with the club psychologist, to ensure (as much as possible) that they don't come out half asleep for the Hawks game, and have to play catch up for the last 3q because they gave up a big lead.
