AFL Rd 17 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

[laj]

I want to point something out.

Last time we played gws we had Lewis Young, and pittonet in, carroll was the sub, durdin was in as was hewett.

Cerra, cincotta, saad and gov were all out. 

We had a lot of players well down on their output which is why this happened and it wasn't all bad news. 

It's just not good enough to look down the stats sheet and see so many of our key players so down on output.  Maybe we attempted to slide the magnets around to lessen our single points of failure but we may have highlighted them instead.

Next week needs to be a big improvement.  I think we might want to rethink the risk reward of this one ruck vs two ruck business.  It isn't a zero sum equation where one ruck vs two definitely means less run, depends on what we do with the rest but it is a lot more limiting when we can't change up rucks or change match ups down back. 

Rucks didn't matter. Work rate did. TDK's strength is playing like an extra mid, not so much in the tap dept. We usually pinch the other side's clearances anyway. Just didn't turn up to play any form of hard football. That is our strength. If we played them again next week we'd kicked their arse,
