AFL Rd 8 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[Gointocarlton]

Pies played the big moments well, leading tackle makers were Pendlebury, Nick Daicos and Crisp which would surprise a few people but probably showed even their showboat players like Daicos worked a bit harder than we thought they would.
Both teams had a lot of non contributors but I felt some of ours did nothing at all unlike a few of their quiet stars who at least competed. Backline worries me when Weitering is out of the play and we are relying on the likes of Williams, Young, Cowan and Cincotta. Need Saad and McGovern back to provide stability and Kemp is a better player than all four I mentioned and dropping him was dumb imho. Not the end of the world and when we get our main troops back including Martin and Motlop we will be ok.
Fantasia and Durdin might not as well have been playing as their contributions were zero.....

I though Cincotta did very well on Hill. Of the Ins, I thought he gave us something, they rest were witches hats.
He and Weiters were out best defenders by a very long way. The rest were awful. 
Charlie is an interesting one at the moment. Doing the extraordinary extraordinarily well but is not the basics very poorly. Fumbling, looking slow.

Pitto not up to it? FMD dunno what games youre watching.

He was well beaten tonight.

Those 2 got 12 touches between then for 0.1. You can't have 2 mall forward literally not touching it.

Don't think a loss has hurt this badly since 1999 grand final loss tbh.
..and all went downhill from there.

That GF loss didn't hurt so much. We spent most of the year being shit and somehow made the GF. Miracle just participating.

Tonight's loss was plainly frustrating. Work rate was poor and still just lost by 6pts. Losses pissed down the drain recently all for the same reason. A minute left and still couldn't hold on for at least a draw. After the way we played I would have taken that, but we managed to stuff that up too.

Well we should give a 3rd pick + Williams + 30% of salary to whoever wants to take him.

Enough is enough.

You do realise we just lost to Collingwood?

Big Picture view....I dont like losing to Collingwood either but we can improve our team with key players who are out injured and removing players who cant be trusted to play finals type footy when you have to. Rather lose now and find out where our weak points are than fall apart at seasons end and have these type of losses pre-finals.
Do our players good to have some pressure on them now and stop believing all the hype in the media with people like David King saying its Geelong, GWS and us as your contenders and the rest are making up the numbers...
We need to get better at playing dirty, tough finals type footy and having more contributors...

Well he can't defend and should not be in our backline.

[pertz]

The Pies are better drilled and trust each other and their systems. We are not there yet, but there is hope.
F#$k I hate losing to Collingwood and I wish we had a Nick Daicos.
