2018 Rd 1 Post Game Party: Carlton vs Richmond

[Thryleon]

No doubt injuries never help but if you can lose a ruckman against anyone is the tigers. Helped bring casboult into the game.
As I said though potentially playing Cunningham instead of weitering makes the loss of Kennedy less significant.

It's not who we lost that was important it was the fact that we were effectively out on our feet and it showed.  We are a younger not as battle hardened team, tired legs means tired minds and poor decisions which ultimately cost us more than anything.  Malthouse used to say being down a rotation hurts everyone and he's right.  with interchange caps to manage its even harder as you can't bring players off when they're cooked.

Back 6 for years... Agree... But does that mean we get done by small forward lines for years as well?

perhaps but I'd rather they adjust to this now and learn about how to stop it now rather than when we're in a premiership window and wonder how we got done.
