AFL Rd 24 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

[Baggers]

My concern isnt that we're winning.
Winning is good.
Momentum is good.
It's the way we're winning and the draining nature of that game of intense pressure that we play.
We'll see if it's sustainable, but it wont surprise if we have a bit of a dip....and after this weekend we can't afford a dip.

I think we had a bit of a dip last game. Those who'd been 'covering' for the significant outs, and doing it brilliantly, were tiring. But they found extra after qtr time, regained ground, and hung on to win... against a better opponent that 44 pt turnaround may not have been possible. There seems to be an embedded expectation with this group now to win, and to find a way to win regardless of the circumstances. Strong above the shoulders stuff, a 180 degree turnaround.

Rapt that we'll be meeting a good side in very good form this Sunday. Hopefully other results go their way and come Sunday at 6:10pm they'll be fighting for a place in the 8.
