AFL 2024 Elimination Final 1 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

[Thryleon]

How important is it to have your VFL side playing into September. There were no proper match practice opportunities to our long list of returning players, a number who would have been able to have a run during the bye.

Also, if there were doubts about TDK over 120 minutes, why not start off with him, see how far he can go, then bring Pitt on when the game has slowed done??

I'd like to think that we were looking to next week with that one.  The plan would have been to keep in contact and restrict scoring and then bring tom on to swing the game not pushing him too hard so we could get him to back up next week.  When we got hammered early that prompted a swing of the deck chairs on the titanic.
