AFL Rd 20 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[crashlander]

Some facts
- we lack pace
- Pittonet, Marchbank, Young & Durdin nowhere near AFl standard
- we need so much more from Cottrell and Cerra
- O Hollands continues to make inexcusable mistakes at this level
- no team can sustain the sheer number of injury prone players on our list (Martin, Cunningham, McGovern, Marchbank, Williams)
- we lack young talent
- we have way too much salary cap invested in too few. We need to rebalance.

We’re going to need go trade heavily to rebalance the list and cut the injury prone deadwood once and for all. We’re a long way from a premiership.

I wish I could disagree with you, but we were very slow tonight. Not first to the ball.
Cerra is a shadow of himself. He probably needs time in the 2's to recover some form before the finals.
Cottrell was bad, but he lowered his colours. He isn't in form yet either.
We struggled to get anything from our small forwards: Owies had 6 possessions, Motlop had 7, Fog had 11 and most of those early.
Ollie Hollands needs to look at his brother's disposal. Lije's kicks were like scalpels, Ollies were messy too often.

Yes, we have too many injury prone guys. We can't carry them all.
