AFL Rd 23 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Collingwood

[Lods]

Saad like all his team mates had a real dip the last few weeks, almost to a man they have lacked composure and therefore good decision making. I think they will learn more from the last 3 weeks than they did in the previous 20.

The move of Docherty into the midfield no doubt threw an extra burden on to Saad.
That's where injuries are an excuse.
Covering a hole in one area by moving a vital part weakens the other area.

It's funny the number of people on Carlton social media who are feeling 'guttered' this morning.
Might be just coincidence but I'm getting my guttering done today as well. ;D
Should be guttered by this afternoon  )

Said it a few times this season, Goldstein. He can't have more than a year or two left and North will be rubbish for another three or four years.

12 months ago we didn't even look like we could find a coach. We were miles off finals. 12 months later, we miss finals by millimeters. 2 very cruel weeks in succession is hard to swallow.

Saad was quite obviously playing injured - he gave his all but you could see he had limited movement.

[Professer E]

I think we have to critically look at the list and weed out blokes who can't be relied up to turn up,  play four quarters or even get on the part.  Consistent, acceptable output is what we need,  not blokes that deliver once in a blue moon.

Agree, should not have played, he seem to get one slight knock and was really sore afterwards. Collingwood to their credit were actually fairly sportsmanlike through the game and could have cleaned up some of our sore players but didn't.

Fully agree regarding the above-mentioned players but the biggest surprise for me was the midfield contributions of Setterfield in the past two matches - I haven't been a big fan due to his questionable kicking (in hope) but I have seen enough the past 2 games to think that he will be a player -

x2. Thought the same thing.

[Baggers]

Not Fev for mine - he had a unique kicking action and I wouldn't trust him as a coach as he is too ill-disciplined.

I actually agree, emotion of the moment got to me!

On reflection we need to teach, Charles in particular... discernment. Learn when to take your time and use a drop punt. He has shown that he can launch a deadly drop punt from outside 50, so the ability is there. Again, and common with our group - above the shoulders... and inexperience.

Agree, needed to go back take his time and own the moment. This is the next step in his development to becoming the champion we all hope he can be.
