AFL Rd 1 2023 In Game Angst Carlton vs Richmond

[Gointocarlton]

We are dreaming if we expect to make the final 4 with a pretend full forward.  Harry the heartbreaker has been playing with us since 2016 and tonight showed that he still does not know how to kick for goal. 

Contrast his 2 set shots for goal in the third quarter with Lynch's.  One a match killer, the latter a match winner.

Whilst he he won't be happy with his game, its round 1, give them a chance.
Lynch was soundly beaten for 90% of the night but yes he did better with the opportunities presented. One frustrating thing for me with H is his immediate desire to wield around onto his left and play on (not talking about his set shot routine, just in general play up the ground). It might be on instruction to move the ball quickly but it seems a bit hit and miss. At the start of the game, we often moved it slowly and precisely with short kicks (like the Swans did in our praccy match). We mixed it up. I thought this strategy went almost out the window as the game wore on.
