AFL Rd 11 2023 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Sydney

[Lods]

I thought we were better than the last 2 weeks. Sydney are used to playing on the auskick sized field and have been historically a much better team at home.

Yep,
They usually play the ground very well  but...
They're 1 W (Hawthorn) and 3 losses (albeit close) at the SCG this year.
They have some significant injuries.
In general play we may have been a bit better, but the finishing is going backwards at an alarming rate.
McKay is mentally shot as far as confidence kicking for goal and that seems to be filtering through to others....and we've come out of the game with some injuries that will cause us some grief at selection next week.
We're not in great shape.
