AFL Rd 11 2023 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Sydney

[LoveNavy]

They went the bomb approach because the Swans had no talls down back...but the expectation was that Harry and Charlie might be able to get some through the big sticks and TDK might be able to make a few stick in his hands but alas no cigar on any of those expectations.

Expectations aren't the basis for a game plan. That's part of our problem IMO. We expect things to happen. While we watch it unfold, we get caught out, well watching. Instead of playing what's in front of us.

When expectations go belly up, we're too slow, physically and mentally, to stem the opposition's rebound. Or we fumble our way around until we eventually turn it over. That's what's so excruciating to watch. Second only, to a set shot at goal.
