Post Game Pandemonium!: AFL 2020 Rd 17: Carlton vs Adelaide

[PaulP]

Crows have won three on the trot and look very different from what they showed most of the season. I was expecting to win, but they played good footy today. We outscored them in the last 2q, so whilst it was far from great..................

Not that it made a difference but why pic Doc knowing that he had a suspect calf?

As well as addressing the usual issues - lack of ability, abysmal kicking skills, etc, surely we need to find out what is causing these dreadful first halves of football.

It's like watching somebody who has had a drug overdose being given an antidote injection and suddenly spring to their feet.

We can't go into 2021 season fearing a repeat of this season's many bad first half starts.  Is Teague responsible?  The coaching staff in general?  Do we need to employ sports psychologists?

And when was the last time Carlton won 3 in a row?

I'm not sure what is more difficult! When was the last time Carlton hit 3 targets in a row in a chain of possessions?

4 in a row - R5,6,7,8 2016.

Our kicking was an absolute disgrace today. No if’s or buts.

Having to claw back a huge lead last game, saw us with no energy.  Even Walsh looked lacklustre today.

Season over. I hope we put in a good FOUR QUARTER effort next game. Just once I’d like to watch us play and enjoy the entire game- win or lose.

We have to trust the medical staff don’t we?

Such a huge disappointment, we still had a chance of finals and that was the tripe they served up

So it was recent then?  :

You make it sound like it's something to be proud of instead of it being an indictment on the club. Probably was the last time we hit 3 targets in a row in a chain of possessions as well.

You asked a question and I gave you an answer.

Clearly there's a tonne of work to do, but I think today the boys were cooked. The Crows killed us on the outside. The tackles, contested ball, inside 50's, turnovers, disposal efficiency etc. all roughly even. The boys fought it out, but no doubt that was one of our worst performances for the year.
