AFL 2024 Elimination Final 1 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

[laj]

The Sub had nothing to do with the 1st half, that debate is a smokescreen.

We were much better when we had both rucks on the ground.

No, we were better with TDK on the ground. Not the 2 rucks per se.

Quote of the year !!

Agree on that one!

You NEVER pick a ruck as a sub.

The Sub, whoever is in the Sub seat, has no bearing on what happened in the first half for us tonight, and they have no bearing on the result before they get on the ground.

Goaless 1st qtr, too many passengers (Durdin, Motlop, Kemp, Williams, Acres for 2 qtrs, TDK sub. EOS

Nearly a scoreless 2nd qtr too.

Disgraceful overall performance. Time for much introspection and reflection. A lot of work needed to prepare for next year. I’ve just about had enough, at least for the time being.

Im with you cookie. Its so hard to fail year after year after year when we have endured the longest rebuild known to mankind. We should have been contesting for the flag this year there is no stand out team it would have been a great year to strike but again when it matters we fall short. Sure injuries late in the year made it harder but serious teams dont drop the games we did when injuries werent an issue.

And to see teams like geelong and hawthorn still alive just makes it that much harder to accept.

Need some big gutsy changes if we are going to go further next year. The current list (injuries or not) wont take us deep into finals so be interesting to see what the club does to change things in the off season.

If the MC has something to explain, it's playing blokes who weren't fit, and persisting with blokes who have hardly touched it all season.

Still don't pick a ruck as a sub. Pick someone who can come on fresh that has some run. Like the damage Campbell did to GWS today when he come on.

You got that right.

Focussing on the Sub is a distraction, it's completely missing the point of what went wrong for the first 50 minutes.

Some "experts" on here want to make the Sub about the rucks, they are sh1t talkers, they signalled this intent even before the first ball was bounced.

In that regard with TDK on the bench we basically went with the "experts" preferred option, one ruck and an extra Mids to run and link up, and had our arse handed to us to the tune of almost 10 goals!
