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

[kruddler]

Essendon and Stkilda as reference levels..? Maybe that's our problem, we just lower the bar every year to that of the other long term losers and are contented to be seen as no worse.. No wonder it does someone like Maclures head in and all the other old timers..

The reference was in terms of coaching appointment and perceived ladder position for 2021.
Remember 1 in 9 at the age and similar at the HS had us in the 8. About the same as bombers. Saints were in there more from memory.

So yes, like it or not, they are our peers at present. Any suggestion otherwise is looking through navy coloured glasses.
