AFL Rd 2 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong

[blueday]

Compared to Rnd 1 last nights game was at another level, skills were better, the opposition was better, we were better.

You can see why we will look back on Rnd 1 and feel it was a lost opportunity.

I feel Pitto coming in has shown the way for the ruck situation, his mix-n-match with TDK just works better in my opinion, you can clearly see the value Pitto brings when you need some heavy duty grunt work to put the brakes on the opposition.

Durdin coming in made a difference for Owies, Fisher and Motlop, that little bit extra run matters, Motlop getting up the field further also worked well, all were better this week.

We must play the two rucks but what does that mean for SOS? Are McGovern and SOS a direct swap, SOS down back as the third tall interceptor and McGovern out?
