AFL Finals 2024 Carlton vs Brisbane in Brisbane

We had 12 players with 12 touches or less.

We were smashed all over the ground.
They ran around us like we were witches hats.
We burst out of the gates and barely got a score afterwards

We couldn't catch anything that night.
reckon the week off played a bigger factor, but the point is that our talls vs theirs weren't the issue. 

You know what the issue is?  A small forward like who contributes 6 possession from 70% game time not hitting the scoreboard laying 0 tackles.  In itself not an issue, but when your other smalls have similar numbers, that's the problem.

That's why the rest struggle.  Not because of the talls who have typical tall stats.  You play a man down (sometimes 2) carrying a player like that.  Last week against the saints it happened with durdin, motlop, Fantasia and owies and we only lost by a couple of points because combined they gave us a 2 player game. 

That's the problem.  Not the talls.  We carry no more than others, and don't tell me the other teams have blistering run in their mids.  They all have a few one paced players who aren't quick but the only ones who have non contributors end up putting in a performance like port did tonight.
