AFL Rd 10 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[ElwoodBlues1]

We are better team than what we are showing.
I gave the team C+ against the Dogs only because almost 3/4 of the game was played on our terms would have got a B- if execution was right a B if there was a functioning forward of center line. But defensive structure was superb I thought apart from some poor execution. Pressure around the ball and putting on heat and squeezing the opposition from their half back from our mids was  at a high standard. We got this part of the game absolutely spot on and teams don't waltz for easy goals any more.
Just some ground ball class forward of centre will be the icing and unless Martin and Cunners pull off a miracle its unlikely to happen this year.

Bulldogs were less efficient inside 50 than we were, we also lost the clearances, tackle count and they had the better disposal efficiency...reckon we are kidding ourselves if we think we deserved to win that game.
