Post Game passion: AFL 2021 Rd 6: Carlton vs Brisbane

[ElwoodBlues1]

I guess, for me anyway,  the truly skilled players can execute under pressure. Any player that couldn't at least do that under no pressure or at training would not make it to an AFL club?

Old Betts might have, but he's been having trouble hitting the scoreboard, so no guarantees.
And you still have to factor in Brisbane's 'what might have beens' too.
If we looked at the game again we'd probably find three or four of those.

But you may be right on where we stand...I'm actually a bit surprised at some of the level of early angst in regards to this match which, while justified in some cases, seems to have gone up a level again this week.

The angst is probably due to the repetition in our losses.. 5 goal bursts from the opposition, same opposition players burning us ie Rich and poor defensive and contesting in those vital minutes. What has really changed or improved from the last season or two?.. Some supporters now want to cling onto honourable losses for comfort but can't confront reality...thats bottom team thinking.
