AFL Rd 5 2022 Post Game Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[tonyo]

If you beat good sides like the Dogs, last year's GF, Richmond previous 2 year's premiers, and even Port, last 2 years PF (for what it is worth), well they will be down the ladder early in the season.

Who looked at the draw, Tigers, Dogs, Port and thought we'd be 4-1.................and our only loss would be to the GC.

But in reality, the Tigers and Port are cooked - one was on the slide from halfway through last year, and the other hasn't won a single game this year.

Again, don't get me wrong, stoked to be 4-1 - but I can't help thinking if there was 5 more minutes in 3 of those games, we'd be 1-4.

The important thing is to continue improving so that when we do get into a big game against a serious contender,  we give ourselves a shot.  At least this year we re in the mix, as opposed to the last 8 or so seasons.
