AFL Rd 3 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne

[Thryleon]

I suspect this win might not get the merit it deserves, because I actually thought the opposition wasn't too bad.
North are a young side with a bit of talent coming through.
They moved the ball really well at times, but just lacked a bit of polish and discipline....yet we've beaten them by nearly ten goals.
There was a point in the game around the middle of the third where we started to get a bit 'lairy' and they kicked a couple of goals. It was good to see that checked.
Clarkson actually talked us up in his presser (probably as a bit of a deflection) but he said....
Coming off the bye they were "just so fresh and strong, they're a strong side anyway".
He also made mention of our pressure which he said was "supreme".

It was a good convincing win against a side who has a bit of talent but never really worried us.  They did move it end to end far too easily at times and largely we have played pretty ordinary at times this season. 

The good thing is no matter how bad we are going we seem to turn it on and then eclipse sides.
