AFL Rd 3 2022 In Game Angst Carlton vs Hawthorn

[kruddler]

Winning ugly = good team.

For all the complaints of lesser lights lacking composure or being wayward with kicks under pressure, Doc had a couple of moments he'd rather forget in the last 5 minutes. And he's a hardened player who's usually reliable. Mistakes are made by even the best.

And the lesser lights can have big moments. For instance, Boyd (IIRC) got the ball at CHB and rather than hacking the ball forward under great pressure in the dying minutes, he screwed it around sideways towards the boundary where we had a couple of spare men who cleaned it up. If Weitering did that, we'd say it was classic Weitering.

Not sure if it was Boyd or not, but if it was, that makes 1 good thing he did for the game. IF.

Docherty, and some others, made some silly mistakes throughout the game too, but they also did plenty of good things throughout the game. Can't say that for Boyd.
