AFL Rd 12 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[DJC]

This is a funny old game...(insert cliche*-"a game of inches" )

If Fantasia had kicked that 'almost' freak goal I doubt we'd be having this discussion, other than to say "We need to see more of that."

That’s the issue; for most of his career, that goes through but now he can’t buy a goal.

Cottrell’s comments earlier in the season about people not going to the footy to watch him perform his mundane yet important role made it clear that supporters often judge players without knowing what their performance criteria are.  However, Cotters usually adds a goal or a mercurial act to performing his role.

Raz has averaged over a goal a game over his career but has managed just two goals for us.  No matter how well he performs his role or how satisfied Vossy is with his work, supporters expect goals and Raz doesn’t really look like he’s going to kick one.
