AFL Rd 16 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs St Kilda

[ElwoodBlues1]

Why though, ................. probably because he wasn't 100% right to go!

I think Cerra's selection last week is the first rookie mistake I think I can identify from the Voss crew this season, let's hope they learn!

Cerra's only young still, he probably still has ambitions beyond his ability, that usually extends to players thinking they can limp through a match and still have an impact on the outcome.

I think we missed Owies work rate terribly, and that caused some of the others who have been good this season like Durdin, LoB and Fisher to be overloaded and fall short of expectations. Fans underestimate the impact of the 24x7 stuff they don't take any notice of, it's unglamorous and doesn't make the highlight reels, and fans overestimate the impact of the spectacular stuff that happens for 1 second in a 2hr match because it is replayed endlessly!

For example, and I mentioned this after his first game as well, Motlop's highlights do not make up for the rest of the time he is basically spectating. He'd have to do 10x as much spectacular stuff just to break even!

Good call on Owies, without him as part of the trinity  with Durdin and Fisher we dont function as well down forward when he is missing IMO. He isnt a big possie winner but he provides plenty of pressure keeping the ball inside50 and being a leadup type forward he seems to drag players away from our main forwards and we look less congested.
Motlop is more of a crumber who can kick the freaky goal and he was good vs the Saints but I'll be glad to see Owies back in he team and Motlop can come off the bench, he reminds me a bit of Troy Bond.
