AFL Rd 21 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs St Kilda

[pinot]

Just watched q1 replay. We had plenty of the ball and opportunities to score. We were definitely inaccurate and fumbled under the pressure. Owies, Crippa, Cottrell all had good looks. We also fluffed a couple of deep i50's by over-cooking it slightly. Unfortunately, resulting in TO's

Acres running, marking on the defensive goal-line and i50 was superb. Goal well deserved.

Gee Dow got triple tackled at times. Young Ollie bounced around by big boys like a ping-pong ball. Such a resilient young man.

The most apt chant for Ollie Hollands

Q2.
Martin ran btw the arcs. Hb to Dow with a lovely weighted kick to end in Motlop goal. That's the Carlton way.

My gosh. Charlie got absolutely mauled q1/2. How umpires missed so many is a mystery. Does razor hate us,??

The bald umpire finally pays some of our missed frees ?

Definitely don't want Gresham.

I liked how Dow stood up in tackles and still got the ball out to one of ours. That game mentally will do him alot of good. He needs the feeling that he belongs. Once he has that he'll be alot better.

Indeed. He certainly knows football and isn't influenced by any of the nauseating boys club nonsense. He calls it as he sees it. Over the many years I've heard his brutal assessment of our list, and club more broadly. Sometimes made me cringe but he was never far from the mark, pardon the pun!

It was just so enjoyable to listen to his authentic navy blue view.

Go Blues

He is very good and tying together old school and modern footy concepts/strategies I've found.

Surely there is no way he walks away on the Dogs, apart from being the skipper, he is too loyal I reckon. In any case, he is contracted for 2024 so a trade would have to me massive.

$1.5 Million as his first year sign on fee - five year deal $5.25 million which takes him to 33 yrs of age. Would he get us across the line for two premierships in that time, I think, yes he would. We would have to cough up at least two first rounders to the Dogs and probably sweeteners and pick swaps. You would first put it to his manager, then if he was open to it, table it with the Dogs. They are on the way down potentially with a new coach, and which of these clubs in most likely to grab two cups in his remaining playing career? That would probably now be Carlton.

Pity we can't make top 4. If we could, we would be some massive flag chance.

We can dream and hope things continue to fall into place for us and our rich vein of form continues, we can finish 5th and still be an almighty chance. Personally, even if we can sneak into the 8 I'll be happy.
