Pre game prosecution: AFL 2021 Rd 8: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[Thryleon]

I dont subscribe to the theory we are carrying him injured. Not even Carlton would risk the investment. I reckon he is a little on the lazy side and thinks the game will come to him. Needs a rocket of the highest order instead of having his ego stroked.

What do you reckon after today? 

Time On Ground 79%

Saad another one who isn't 100% (at least he has ramadan as an excuse for his rush of blood to the head) 74%.

Only players with less time on ground:

Fogarty 78%
Ed Curnow 78%
Owies, 73%,
Gibbons, 69%,
JSOS, 55% (went off injured). 
SPS a modest 15% time on ground (which means he played a whole of 10 to 15 minutes, which is pathetic from a bloke who came on halfway through the third quarter.  Shouldn't he have played at least 25% of the game?


Anyway, its irrelevant really.  If you ignore every other stat, and look at metres gained, you see that the Bulldogs midfield dominated the game in terms of being damaging, and we relied heavily on our metres gained coming out of defense.

The bulldogs mids moved it further more frequently which tells the story well enough.
