AFL Rd 3 2023 Post Game Prognostications Giants vs Carlton

[Mav]

There’s no way the free kick for dissent should be the big issue. The real controversy was why Harry wasn’t paid a free kick for being held immediately beforehand.

Ugly win, but an important one. And we’ve now staved off losses in our last 3 games when we were repeatedly overrun last year.

My biggest tale away from this match is that between Crippa and Doc albeit getting plenty of the ball only had one tackle between them. This is a worrying side for this poor tackling team.
Persisting with LOB is not working.......time to give Binns a few games.

I missed the in-game thread. At least this one is ready.

There's already a post game thread crash. They need to be merged.

We’re not firing by any means but we’ll sit either 3rd or 4th on the ladder before taking on North on Good Friday potentially without their best player in LDU. Winning ugly will do it for now.

AFL.com headline just about sums it up
"Misfiring Blues survive scare to scrape past spirited Giants"

My sphincter will be most relieved when we finally win one comfortably. Right.now it gets clenched hard on a weekly basis....haha.

4 points is 4 points.

Ignore the dissent free.  Gws got some charity too, and got away with a few.

Blake acres has put together 2 very good games.

Our injury issues are worse than we are letting on IMHO.

This was a game that in past times we would've lost and lost bravely at that. Its difficult to define but there's been a big turnaround in the  culture of the club and it can be measured by these scrappy wins. GWS were well drilled in how to hurt us and open us up on the outside. Not easy to sustain against Voss's Carlton now.
