AFL Rd 1 2023 In Game Angst Carlton vs Richmond

A lesson in tackling and i50

It's hard to judge until 5 or 6 rounds into the season, but I'd say neither side is likely to feature deep into the finals based on what we saw tonight.

We were behind third quarter - Cripps and TDK cam alive in the last quarter hopefully that form carries on and put the Cats to sleep next week.

Round 1 can be ugly. Sides have played much worse round 1 and won a flag.

Equal top of the ladder....haha.

Fed up playing Richmond round 1......they are crap and we should have won, knowing our luck this will come back to haunt us and we will miss finals by two points.
Ugly game to watch too, really average skills from both teams and I cant see what the fuss about Richmond is, how people are picking them for top 4 is bewildering....

Remember we have North in Rd 4. We’ll have 1.5 to 3.5 wins by Rd 4. We’ll be competitive after the 1st month of footy no matter what happens with Sam Walsh to return at that stage.

I think tonight showed we've come a long way defending since R23.

Obviously not quite there yet, but we stood up under a $h!tload of pressure at the end to almost hold on to 4 points.

That was a carbon copy of rd 23 except the Tigers were crapola. Stay away from the G next week.

We need to beat the premiers next week.
Some changes but not many - no injuries first round which is a pleasant surprise.
Can't accept that performance from Fisher and Martin I know I might sound dogmatic but desperately need ground ball players forward of center instead of depending on the mids to cover for their ineptness and thats what it looked like.
Motlop is a good one and give him a contract extention pronto
