AFL Rd 22 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn

[ElwoodBlues1]

Great post. Fans and even the media over focus on our best performances believing that our true standard but its not and its been proven with this list since the rebuild started. Last 2 narrow wins in the finals were very good wins but could easily have gone the other way yet we hang our hat on them thinking we automatically improve this year while everyone else stand still. We needed to make important changes during the offseason and while E Hollands was a great get it wasnt enough. 

We are flakey and easily coached against and rely on the brilliance of a few of our stars. We are way too slow whenever the ball gets out of congestion and opposition teams know it and we are powerless to counter it.

Need min 3 decent users with genuine leg speed, cut the dead wood and i hope we don't just think the campo boys are the answer there as they are not. We need to be ballsy and be willing to do whatever it takes at the trade table if we want to improve on this year or 2025 will mimic this year and be another fail.
   

Painted ourselves into a corner with long term deals so the trade table for us is the $2 bin at the player reject shop with players like Haynes.
