Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 11: Carlton vs the Drug Cheats

[Thryleon]

The big issue is that with the player meeting last week they've played a trump and it's been beaten by a joker.

What does that leave them with in terms of motivation.
By all expectations they would/should have brought their best efforts today...but it's fallen short.
It will be huge challenge to follow up.
It will be a huge effort if they get up.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

I think we got caught up too much in the bravado today.  It actually helped us lose focus in the second quarter (I forget the specifics).


What I do think is that this is one part of a macro problem we are aiming to solve, about setting standards regarding going into bat for each other on game day which is a team building exercise in itself and IMHO based on this game we have some work to do on it regarding tidying it up.
