AFL Rd 8 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

[Lods]

Not saying that at all Paul.  The players don't seem to lift for that cause is my point.

I would have thought they were more likely to lift because of Docherty's 150 than the respect game.
The causes are good for awareness raising but I doubt they have any impact on performance either way.
If anything they may be a tiny bit of a distraction in the week leading up to them but not enough to affect results.
The 'promotion' duties are shared around so it wouldn't weigh too heavy on a players mind.
