AFL Rd 18 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[LP]

Lots of spin there. Been crap for us for years. Never been great with 2 rucks.

There is no spin in those summaries at all, it's history as it happened.

[shawny]

Very disappointing game.

We had a ton to play and for 2 weeks we missed a massive chance to lock us in the top 4 and we failed both weeks.
To have a mid table team beat us effort wise when they were undermanned and in our captains big game was the most frustrating part. Was so annoyed with charlie playing selfishly again and newman sh1te me to tears and was undisciplined and dumb. Marchbank is way off the pace and looks completely unsure of himself. Theres others too that were very well beaten
I really thought these losses were behind us clearly not.
Its sydney then daylight unfortunately

Our strength is our pressure. When it is on no-one beats us. Playing 2 rucks detracts from that. Pitto v Hewitt, who is in the 2nds right now. Hewitt all day long.

Yep...Hewett has been in good form, Why would you leave him out in two big games vs teams with good quality mids?
And then to top it off make Kennedy the sub in todays game with Hewett out?

[LordLucifer]

Why does he always come with both barrells when we get beaten but never praises us after a good win???

You must have missed some of my other posts in prewvious weeks then.

Lack of run and influence from high half forwards - lost it at selection table again.
Bewildering what goes on at selection committee.
We needed Hewett, Kennedy, Cunners and Motlop out there today.

[Professer E]

Motlop isn't fast don't know why people think he is.

Motlop isn't fast don't know why people think he is.

Our strength is our pressure. We are never going to be fast but, as we have shown, when the pressure is up it's never an issue.

We are best at pressure, stoppage, and this year, turnover game. When our pressure drops the rest drops then we are exposed.

At our worst we still just lose by a couple of goals. We be back smacking side in a couple of weeks. We struggle to shake North for a half next week then crush them in the 2nd half.

[kruddler]

Motlop isn't fast don't know why people think he is.

Not sure anyone said he was.

He is fast thinking and fast acting though. Something out of nothing.

Sydney's only just got back winning today against North, after 2 losses. We get the same against north next week. As I said earlier, Pies, lost round 20, 21 and 23 last year leading to the finals. Once we start winning we won't lose again bar a dead rubber if it gets to that.

Hewett was dropped for team balance. How's that going?
