AFL Rd 21 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Brisbane

[LoveNavy]

Roller coaster game.
Roller coaster season.

We have a situation where we have key players
-out injured e.g. Hewett, Kennedy
-buggered from carrying extra loads e.g  Silvagni, Doc, Young TDK
-struggling to regain form after returning from injury e.g. Weitering, Pittonet, Marchbank
Add to that some extra tactics and attention to counter prime movers like Saad and Doc have come into play.

Getting continuity and cohesion in that situation is a difficult task.
The only surprising thing is ....that folks are surprised.

Good summary.
GiC  myself and a few others aren't surprised. I'd add the impact of all the changes to your list. Building stumps to CEO, Coahes, game plan and everything in between. Very little comes naturally in these scenarios because it's still being taught/learned and integrated. Subsequently, we face a challenge that’s beyond us. Demands outweigh resources unfortunately.
