Post Game Passion: AFL 2021 Rd 2: Carlton vs Collingwood

[LP]

Pitt, Levi, Jones & Plow were badly exposed last night, but so too were all mids ex Walsh

I do wonder about the flow on, when you can deal with our bigger bodies using mediums and smalls, it makes it much tougher to get the right match ups for Walsh and Cripps, but I can't blame the talls for all the problems of Walsh and Cripps last night.

I made a comment pre-game, I said I would be surprised if Walsh could maintain the Rnd 1 level of output given he's still basically a kid, I wasn't surprised to find him struggling because I think even seasoned professionals will struggle under the new rules.

Clubs will need very very deep lists and be really well "managed" by the Match Committee to get through this season with those sort of game styles.

PS; I'm not confident that the bulk of AFL coaches will think independent enough to get their head around this, they tend to mostly be sheep.
