AFL Rd 22 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn

[kruddler]

Yep, it was weird.

It's not hindsight either I could find my posts questioning it.

I know i said it nice and early.

'NOW is the time you start resting players who have a niggle and get them right for finals.'

Kennedy made a miraculous recovery from having his leg amputating by a ruckman last week, but we should've rested him (unless Hewett is more injured) and we should swap that next week.
Get everyone right for finals.

Swap TDK and Pittonet next week and let TDKs ankle recover.

That was the Giants game....and i've probably said similar earlier.

Back your depth.

TDK was injured, we have a very handy back up.

Cerra and Cottrell didn't need to find form in the seniors as we were flying without them.

If Charlie or Harry need a spell you play the 2 rucks.

So many options but we stuffed it because we got ahead of ourselves.

Need a win this weekend like our life depends on it - more so to settle everyone down after a long string of bad luck

Needed a win like their life depended on it on the weekend, the week before that, the week before that...

Let's hope a fresh group of players hits the game with some adrenaline. Then hope for the best.

Can't believe we sat 6pts clear in 2nd, then the week after kick 8.4 in the first qtr. I was sure a flag was right in our grasp as there was no one better than us. Fast forward 23 qtrs and that let down is just shattering.

There's something about all this simplistic finger pointing that just doesn't add up. When you consider the number of stakeholders involved, it's just can't be that cut and dried, at least if my knowledge of human behaviour is anything to go by.

Thing is, between a fitness bloke and a coach playing blokes that are not right we have gone from a red hot flag chance to having no players left and missing the 8. Theres only 2 people you can point the finger at. Pakistan  cricket on a match fixing day would be pound with that collapse.

I just can’t listen to Lloyd talk about issues at Carlton - his conflict is glaring.

Tend to agree with his brother being a senior official at the club he would probably be privy to certain information as well as having a biased view on any of his brothers decision making..

Not many radical changes.

Midfield under performed as a team unit. Defending stoppages has been diabolical - with the talent in the midfield expected better defending as they\re a hardened and experienced group.

Tim Clarke to move on that opens the door for Ebert or Lonergan. Just not good enough in the coalface this year. We allowed the ball move to the outside from stoppage so easily and so frequently
