Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 5: Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[ElwoodBlues1]

They are a top 4 team with plenty of quality and depth, and we are team trying to make finals with our own set of problems.

This particular game is a bit of a paradox. If you look at general play, then yes, I agree the scoreline did flatter us. If you look at shots on goal, marks I50 and other factors, I would say if anything, the scoreline flattered them. Our skills were terrible, and despite that, if we kicked as straight as them we were in with a real chance.

Richmond often lose clearance stats, I50's, etc, good carlton teams would dominate a quarter usually the 3rd and win games but other teams would have more play and waste the ball.
