AFL Rd 23 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Collingwood

[Gointocarlton]

I suspect that learning how to handle clutch moments or the closing stages of tight matches takes longer than 1 week.

I'm sure they have worked that scenario during preseason and during the season at training. If they haven't, that's criminal. Having been exposed to it last week should have triggered all the learnings from the training sessions and should have made them better prepared this week. The scenario arose, and every one at the ground around me could see it coming, and we failed again. This isn't rocket science, its composure and decision making. The older heads like Doc, Cripps, Weitering, Williams had to play a role in the instruction process.
They failed.
I have been dreading this round since the bye and it played exactly how I thought it would, these two weeks and dropping out of the 8 in rnd 23 will hurt them above the shoulders big time. Will they get over it? Some will, some won't.
