AFL Rd 5 2022 Post Game Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[ElwoodBlues1]

Im guessing that if we were the issue in the second half, then we mustnt have been the issue in the first half, or maybe SPP was the issue in the first half and he was at fault for not giving 4 quarters?

Just throwing it out there, that we arent the only part of that equation.  He may have had a rocked fired up him, and Butters as both were crap to half time. 

If we were good after half time then Port must have been brilliant and same with the Hawks.....Port kicked three or four behinds first up in the last quarter and could have stolen the game.
We owe our tall forwards for this win IMO...both Charlie and Harry were able to lift when needed for goals and big marks.
SPP was a catalyst imo...not the bread and butter component like Butters, Boak etc  but I thought he had real influence and authority when he had the ball in the 3rd quarter and seemed to have a lot of space to work in and as Cookie pointed out our tackling seemed feeble and was shrugged off.
Credit to Hewett who played a consistent game and as LP pointed out picked up the heavy lifting slack created by Cripps absence and a few of his teammates dropping off their contested game.
You take the 4 points but there are areas for improvement and certain players with question marks given its happened three weeks in a row vs average opposition..
