AFL Rd 5 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide

[Baggers]

Saw it coming and tipped Adelaide. Helped my tipping immensely.

After following Carlton for 60 years you get an idea when they aren't going to turn up to play. No-one does "not turning up to play" better than Carlton, even in premiership years. We had 2 worse losses than last night in 1995. As long as they break last night down, go over what was wrong, then just focus on next week. It is the first loss. It'd not about the loss, it's about the rebound and what we learnt. We can get overworked up about one loss in a 23 game season. Stinkers will happen at near all sides. Geelong was 5-4 after 9 rounds last year.

The only difference, LAJ, was that in 1995 all games prior to those two hidings (against the Fluffy Ducks and the Aints) were very impressive wins, even dished out a few hidings. Then followed up with a 102 pt drubbing of the Dawks after the 2 losses.
