AFL Rd 18 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Geelong

[kruddler]

With so much ball hitting the deck or misdirected Geelong just handled those conditions mujch better than we did.

It was very much Geelong conditions.

Colder and windier than Melbourne.

Given half our games are played inside, and 1/4 of our games are played interstate, we don't come across those conditions very often, whereas Geelong would train and play in them regularly.

In those conditions you seem to exert more energy than normal chasing all those balls on the deck and the more combative style it requires....which worked against us given the extra 3 days break they had.

We needed everything in our favour and we had nothing in our favour. A 5 goal defeat is about par for the course.
