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

[LP]

Lost to the undefeated top team. We simply weren't good enough to win that type of game. We have blokes out, are playing 3 blokes injured, Cripps, Williams and Casboult, lost Cunningham early and McKay's output was reduced with his shoulder. 26pts was probably a good result. Somehow we manage again to stay within some type of touch but we were never winning. Last week was our chance to get a big win and we choked it up. Lots to improve on with blokes returning, as well as the brittle mental aspects and losing culture.

Interesting to hear BigH has been carrying that shoulder for a few weeks,

Teague made an interesting point post match about being hurt by players trying too hard and being sucked into the contest is a big part of the recent results. A few have made that observation here so we have some astute members.
