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

[Lods]

I get that. But that is somewhat irrelevant.

Its like playing poker.
We've had some dud hands.
We've made some bad calls.

Now we don't quite have pocket aces, but we've got a middle pair. We are not expected to win most hands, but we will win some.
If we worry about all the hands that came before to make our decision now, we will make the wrong decision.
We need to focus on the cards we currently hold, and the chance that what we have will win the round we are in. Nothing more, Nothing less.
Doing anything else is playing on emotion and emotion does not lead to good decisions.

What Would SPOCK Do?

Thing logically about the situation, devoid of all emotion.

Spock would probably have a losing season.
The game doesn't follow logical trends and in fact is a most illogical game.
Emotion is at it's very core.
You see that in upsets.
I'm hoping we'll see it this weekend if the team has any pride after the hammering they've received.

If our team comes ready to play, giving intensity, effort and passion on a given day they can knock over any side, even the top ones if they're just a fraction off.
They're all emotional responses.
They defy logic.

Emotion also is at the heart of a supporter base.
Riled enough by lack of effort they can bring extreme pressure on a board to make changes.
You can call for logic.
You won't get it.
