AFL Rd 0 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

[dodge]

Pre match thread - weren't serious with the side we picked,  as if it was a practice match.

Result was never in doubt 

Me? Pre game would have taken an 8 goal loss.

Awesome second half.

Very glad I tuned in from the 3rd Qtr. Amazing win, especially so considering we lost Doc, and that was a strong Brisbane side on their home deck. Carlton were long shots. The players willed themselves to win that.

That loss really stung the Lions. Let's hope it's psychological when playing Carlton.

I said in the pre game that we picked a side that actually gives us half a chance....and against all odds, we took that chance and ran with it.

I think that's just about the best start you could have to the year.
1. You beat the team that ended your finals campaign.
2. You beat the only team vossy hadn't beaten wearing Carlton colours.
3. You beat the team who hasn't lost a game on their home turf since 2022.
4. Harry kicks the winner and gets the monkey off his back.

Could not have asked for more.

There was a few things I was dirty about with our prelim side, and mc picking sides in general and a couple things I've been pushing for and to my surprise, they all came to a head tonight...and it clicked.

1. You only need 1 ruck. You only ever need 1 ruck. Harry, cripps and even Kennedy giving the number 1 ruck a chopout is all you need.
2. Kennedy playing the silvagni role (even the ruck battles) and switching with cripps in the middle.
3. Picking a smaller side with plenty of run. That is what got us going on our streak and when we went away from that, our streak ended.

Learn from this.

Carlton ended a 14 game winning streak for the Lions at the Gabba. First Carlton win there since 2013. Outstanding effort.

Well done to Carroll. Should get a full game next week.
Well done to Young. Thought he would be absolutely crape tonight but did OK.
Well done to H. Would never have tipped him to kick that last goal. Super
Well done to Zac Williams. Pretty good comeback game
Well done TDK. Herculean effort all night against Frankenstein's monster who usually smashes us
Well done Hewett. Thought he'd dropped off a bit but was a machine all night
Well done Charlie. Superstars turn games.
Well done Crippa for your massive shoulders
Massive win. Please, please, please don't blow it all away next week.

Agree with everything but as as a cocky and arrogant traditional Carlton supporter I suggest that it's going to be a percentage booster.

I too was pleasantly surprised to see Kennedy take a couple of ruck contests.
Hoping Doc was more precautionary
