AFL 2024 Elimination Final 1 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

[Thryleon]

Yep
That's an example where stats tell only half a story.
The ball went in and came straight back out.
They controlled the air and delivery inside 50 was poor.
On the ground it broke down around half-forward so a lot of those entries were shallow and they were able to mount attacks.

A lot of that is not due to anything other than a lack of defensive pressure in the forward line and that's why the scoreline ended up 60-0

which is where the small forwards cop a bit of grief.

It's one thing to say it didn't get down there but it popped out way too easily and a lot of them were unsighted for too long.
