AFL 2023 Preliminary Final Carlton vs Brisbane Post Game Prognostications

I really don't like the time of this one, but ...

Well, a good attempt, we made a Prelim, and overall a positive season end.

Two games I was concerned with and that was Melbourne and Brisbane at Gabba.

Just to show that top four is crucial - this team will learn the profile is very young.

Have no problem with our team selection, we didn't lose it at the match committee table, just ran out of petrol and were beaten by a better side. It will just make us hungrier. Top 4 finish is a must.

The players that came in certainly did their job. Well done Harry, Martin, Boyd. Marchbank, who many queried, also did a fine job. Finally building some depth and a healthy list post-bye.

Disappointing of course. In the end though it was a hard fought long road and it showed. GF from outside the 4 is elusive for good reason.

Well done to the club for a season that will go down as a ripper.

My edit.
Shout out to Ollie Hollands ?? one of the youngest out there. Learning will be immense.

Unfortunately other than Sam Walsh who is one of the best players I have ever seen... Crippa, Hewett and Cerra got beaten up and bashed.. but that's ok as it was Brisbane at the Gabba. Top four 2024 boys .

Gutted but very proud of the boys. We have plenty to work with for the future.

Dear Mr Cornes.
Can you repeat your gross underestimation of Walshy please?
I thought not!

Well done Walshy.  You're a superstar ??

Coleman a deserved BOG.

Good ladder result. Obviously need to work on body strength. Inject some speed by foot, and class by disposal. Much work for Voss, but something to show that you can only work with the stock you have. We went far further with a squad that would never beat Brisbane. If we didn’t start as we did it would have been a humiliation. We have some needs and Voss needs to see where he can find what he needs. Great result for the season, but not a flag winning unit just yet. Keep shopping for better stock and develop some of the youth. Well done for the seasons result. Now is time to build on a better 2024.
