AFL Rd 6 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs St Kilda

[pinot]

With our driving forces off half-back missing, our strategy relied on two aspects,
A) winning the mid-field battles.
B) efficiency and variation in the forward half.

We got Part A right in the first half but not Part B. (We actually haven't all season. It's a dog's breakfast that relies too much on two players.)

When they evened up the midfield after half-time it was game over.
We have elite tall forwards. We have a very mediocre support forward group.

Spot on.

Punters expect silver service to forwards as a standard - but thats never going to happen when they are under constant pressure and running at full speed. You do expect small forwards to be at the fall of the ball we have three of them and they lack craft. We won't win many games if we just depend on Charlie and Harry while small forwards kick one goal per game between three of them its almost like we only have 15 payers on the ground.
