Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 9: Carlton vs Melbourne

[LP]

Just have to hope we have a catalyst year where we really improve at a greater rate than other teams. I think we have improved but when teams like the Swans who should be bottoming out are suddenly back in the finals fray it shows how hard the comp is.
Geelong are another who should be struggling like Hawthorn after being through a long cycle of finals appearances but just keep staying competitive. It becomes a real grind to make inroads up the ladder when other teams are not playing their part and taking their turn at the bottom.

We've too many beginners playing [member=57]ElwoodBlues1[/member]‍, those clubs that consolidate generally do so with a stable list of guys who are 50 to 100 games. We've a 1/4 of the team that are still in their 1st season together, they need 2 or 3 full seasons together to be reliable.

The Dees are a good example of that, mostly the same team that ran with last season and the bulk were there the season before that!
