AFL Rd 17 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

[LP]

Defense wasnt the issue, the ball went down there too quickly  and without any pressure, they stacked their team with runners and we couldnt get the ball in the 2nd and 3rd quarters as they were hitting every pass , spreading well and were too pacy for our slower onballers  who looked like treacle.
Cripps, Walsh and TDK have to win their positions well for us to control and win games and they didnt.......same thing happened vs the Swans. Thats the Blueprint to beat us and it wont happen often but there are those teams like the Swans and GWS on their own home decks who have the equipment and gamestyle to trouble us.

Agreed, I don't think our D50 has been the issue (excluding losing Weiters which will hurt no matter who we hold as sub), if we can't do anything else we just have to maximise our chances of midfield dominance and then do our very best not to waste the footy.
