AFL Rd 1 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond

[PaulP]

I'm not sure what to take away from the game. Whilst it's too early to hit the panic button, I was a little concerned that we lost the territory battle, and more concerned about being beaten around the ball. This has not being a forte under Hardwick, but it is under Voss. Some of the boys certainly looked rusty, and a little sluggish. I thought at times Richmond opened us up far too easily. Both teams had good and crap moments. Splitting the points is probably about right.

I heard Voss in the post match say that if this game happened last season, we would have lost by 6 goals.
