AFL Rd 10 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

[pertz]

Doesnt help when some of your blokes cant get the ball, wont lay a tackle and bail out of contests either.....those are non negotiables. Can accept losing on lack of talent caused by injuries but losing by lack of effort isnt on.

We appear to play in bursts in games. In many respects we are not an honest team because the effort turns off and on.
Top teams don't play like that and as EB says, you don't need talent to lay tackles, harass  chase etc.
