Post Game Parlay: AFL 2019 Rd 3: Carlton vs Sydney

[PaulP]

This would have to be one of the most infuriating match reports I've ever read:

I won't post the whole thing but here are some highlights:
1. Rarely has a football team been built so exclusively around one player. Cripps isn’t just the heartbeat at Carlton, he’s the entire aorta and the lungs as well.

2. Bolton revealed the Blues had made a conscious effort not to over-coach Walsh. “We haven’t over-coached Walshy. It can be a real trap where you get a young guy in with a real free mind and spirit. It’s so important he keeps playing with the freedom and run he does.”

3. (Bolton)“Our ability to adjust in-game was a conversation. Another conversation was we had an extra scoring shot, but in set-shots we kicked 4.6. There’s a set of fundamentals that add up."

Points 2 and 3 sound fair enough to me. Point 1 has an element of truth to it, but has been exaggerated for dramatic effect. I don't have an HS subscription, but judging by this and other samples, it sounds like money well saved.

Points 2 and 3 come directly from Bolton's presser. It's on the CFC website, and IMO it's the best presser he's ever given.
