AFL Rd 21 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[kruddler]

Kruddler called it in the preseason. We need s second key defender.

Thanks.

I think I called it a few years ago but I keep highlighting it until someone does something about it.

We won most of the key stats, had way more ball, won the stoppages even though we got smashed in the hitout stats, even had more frees . A lot of our players had great stats and on paper it looks great but its clear a lot of those stats are meaningless possessions that go nowhere apart from the stat sheet and show up as only around 7 more forward entries with a poor efficiency rate down forward but our efficiency rate around the ground was better than Collingwood probably because we play keepings off well. A lot of our best ball winners dont do enough with the ball imo and we are not getting the forward entries we should or the quality.

We've been irrelevant for almost 30 years, the butt of every joke.  A continuous rebuild that never gets anywhere, while clubs like Hawks are down for all of two minutes.

Joke of a club, treats its fans with contempt by serving up sh1t like the last 6 weeks.

[kruddler]

Not trying to suggest we are not in bad form right now, just offering some perspective.

Swans are 1-5 from their past 6 games.
Their only win was against North.

People wanted to hand them the cup and move onto next year 6 weeks ago.
6 weeks from now, who knows what will change in the AFL landscape.

[shawny]

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

Excuses excuses excuses. If you look for them you will find heaps. The bottom teams can find them after every lose yet they are still a bottom team. We find excuses as though its an easy fix to change it but that is far from the truth.

The reality is we fail every single time it really matters and hence why we are a mid table team folks.

We have several that look like A graders against all but the top tier teams and that sort of list will not take you all the way.

Midfield is too slow lack a decent second tall defender and our twin talls dont perform on the very biggest stage.

Yep you can keep looking for positives but the facts are we are only a mid tier team yet show glimpses during the year which just ends in giving us long suffering supporters fake hope.

We fail time and time again when it matters and again will have stressful weeks now to even try and make finals let alone finish top 4.

Pretenders until we prove otherwise

At the game, devastated.

Pies do the basics right. We don’t. Dunno how many times we didn’t have basic front and centres.

Mentally we’re not all there, especially against this mob.

We only came back because De Goey was injured - it was obvious to see at the ground.

Kinda glad Curnows streak is over, now he can play freely without it hanging over his head.

This year has promised so much, and yet may nearly deliver so little.

Gov probs should’ve given the kick to Martin after the siren if he’d hurt his head.

With Cotts and Cez out injured Voss has no choice but to be creative because whatever he has been trying tactically has not been working past two months. This is where pennies are earned - lets see how creative and good our senior coach is. He is a damn good senior coach but a great one? Time will tell...

Agree - why is this the only change they seem to make.

Maddening.
