AFL Rd 21 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[crashlander]

Start without me: I'm at the game.

[BluePhantom]

Are we still in the 8?

Must be time for a new coach!

We didn’t deserve to win but “Feck!!!”. Why didn’t we unshackle ourselves earlier?

[ElwoodBlues1]

Thought we had many good individual players but didnt combine as a team all that well when we had opportunities and Collingwood always hurt you on the way back even when they dont have the majority control of the play.
Hopefully if Pendlebury plays 500 we are not involved....

Cerra out early.
Cottrell out soon after.
Acres playing hurt.
Charlie getting hurt.
Newman playing hurt.

Couldn't find the big sticks all game.

Getting flogged for 3/4s

Still had a chance to beat the premiers and should've won if not for govs terrible effort.

Cest la vie

We are in.

Game vs Hawks next week is for a spot in the 8 though.

But, but, but, we are Carlton, we should win by 10 goals every week.

[Professer E]

Hawks will flog us and should start favourites.  On the bright side gives us the chance to pick a few kids, and omit a few of the crocks and wounded because we've nothing left to lose.  I'd expect the Hawks to try to work us over physically, they (especially their coach) still think we're soft.

[PaulP]

As gallant and gutsy as that last q fightback was, it feels IMO like it's papering over a few cracks, and I'm really referring to the last few weeks, not just tonight's game.

Pendles 400, injuries etc excuses excuses excuses  and while Collinwood win premierships we make excuses.
Maybe not creative and brave enough at the selection table is my main concern...if a player doesnt deserve a game then they should not play AFL football. I am guessing many will be happy with that fightback - but thats where we are as a club honourable losses not going away in a hurry - leadership and attitude Joel Selwood/Stephen Kernahan/John Nicholls style should have won us that match from the second quarter.
Presser from Voss will be fascinating.
