AFL Rd 6 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs St Kilda

[LoveNavy]

Can't argue with any of that EB.

While I don’t think it's gloom and doom just yet. I also don't think we have the all the right pieces in place.

We've seen our defence, midfield, and running back depth come up short in the past 12 months. Persistent injuries, underperforming (high picks, big bucks) or unsuitable recruitment, and slow or inadequate player development are likely contribtors.

This years recruits look good but we've got some making up to do. Nail a couple more selective additions providing speed, good disposal, and durability, and top 8 should be sustainable. I won't talk flags ?

I'm really hopeful we'll stabilise and improve on the back of some key returns and good post-bye form. We are screaming out for stability across lines. When we have that our connection improves and system holds up better. That's not to say we're improving at the rate of others, but we should be holding our own and chalking up the W's to stay in touch. At least that's how I see it.

Go Blues
