AFL Rd 24 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

[Thryleon]

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.

Yep, the key is not to fall behind by 44 points to begin with, and wrestle back the momentum earlier.

I choose to believe the weekend was a learning experience.  The learning being, arrest the momentum before the game gets to that point and then bring it back later.
