AFL Rd 5 2022 Post Game Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[Gointocarlton]

Thinking it is more a chance our style of play, being so hard and brutal, we can't yet sustain it for 4 qtrs. We need more games before we adapt, like Richmond had to in 2017. What is happening though, when severely challenged on the scoreboard, we have found a resilience despite the fatigue (not sure what happened to that against the GC). Port had 11 min to hit the front and couldn't. Hawthorn did get in front but we found a way and the Dogs come right back but couldn't close any further once within 12pts.

We were VERY lucky to get the win today, make no mistake about it. Nothing resilient about it, pure luck.
Last week we travelled to GC thinking we just had to turn up and collect 4 points, we had our pants pulled down and made to assume the position.
Today the boys were very happy with themselves at 1/2 time and then didn't turn up after the main break as in their minds they thought they would go on with it.
I don't buy the lines about not being able to sustain the game style, they have been prepared for it and have shown they can execute it. There are too many that go missing for large patches, IMO its between the ears and not in the legs.
