AFL Rd 6 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs Fremantle

[Thryleon]

I suspect allowing opposition sides to get 'runs of goals' is more between the lug holes than anything. Establishing a system (and trust in that system) that becomes 'habitual' in countering this will take time, and we need the personnel to carry it out.

Sorry baggers, the consecutive goals thing is the biggest sham statistic in history.

The premiers copped a 5 goal run on in the big dance and inflicted one on their opponents as did almost every team that played finals.

The consecutive goals are only a momentum thing.  You fail to score, the chance of conceding multiple goals increases purely because teams lose belief when the opportunities go missing.

Likewise you'll see teams kick straight and do it all game and then they'll kick a run of behinds, and it becomes infectious.  Why? 

Pressure.  Once pressure gets in errors creep in, once errors creep in the runs happen.

Lug holes contribute but its a self fulfilling prophecy and says nothing about system, players or coaches.
