Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 8: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[ElwoodBlues1]

We have a few big guys in key positions but a lot of our mid-fielders and flankers are lightly framed.
It's the type of player we recruited, and many have a body type that won't bulk up.

Is the emphasis in our training more about speed and endurance, rather than strength and power.
Sure there is obviously a balance there, but the physicality some sides bring against us seems to be a factor in many of those runs and defeats.

We were pretty much 'monstered' in that last quarter on the weekend.

Agree, we lack big bodied strong players across the list apart from our taller types.
Everyone has said we played well for three quarters but for all that were only in front by a couple of goals at 3/4 time.
Its the classic struggling team vs better team scenario you see often and in in our glory days we were the ones who ran away with those games and over powered teams.
We looked schooboyish, lacking in fitness in the last quarter and our leadership isn't good enough.
The Bont goal where no one stood the mark was a sign we had switched off, given up and were waiting for the other bloke to do the work.
