AFL Rd 18 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[Thryleon]

Bont did a lot of the monkey work pushing the ball out to other players because he was covered and I think he led the tackle count too with nine and had eight clearances as well, he was kept under wraps by Cincotta and friends but still found a way to contribute and is a class act.
We had a lot of players get a lot of ball and led most stats but it never looked that way in the game and Im sure Voss and crew will be scratching their heads trying to figure how we lost if you look at the stats in isolation but as we know its more about the big moments in the game than amassing cheap stats.

I reckon based on the presser and efficiency comments voss is aware of where it went wrong.  Doing not much with a lot is what I take out of it.  They were on top for most of it, we had our chances and kept taking the wrong options which hurts.  We did the right thing early applying scoreboard pressure when they didn't but it started falling apart when Williams went off which is why we might look at more creative better users next week against North.  Martin might feature.  I think we should consider it given its a relative free hit.
