AFL Elimination Final 1 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

[LP]

My concern with Paddy D is mental toughness. Too often goes missing in real heat, and finals pressure is another level up.

Kennedy & JSOS have both shown mongrel determination when the heat is on. Motlop is X factor.

For the little time he was on I think Motlop looked timid last night, he had everything to play for full of energy and fresh as a daisy in the final moments of a heavy slog and did squat. He should have been running all over the Swans defenders, instead he just surrendered with the pill. It didn't matter which way he run as long as he run and made them pay a price on tired legs for guarding him!

I'd rather Dow, as long as we let Dow be Dow and forget shoehorning him into some roll he is not suited for! If we want to shoehorn players, shoehorn Cerra or Hewett who have that utility factor.
