AFL 2024 Elimination Final 1 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

[ElwoodBlues1]

We used a forward down back most of the game.
Elijah Hollands had a go there as well.

Played behind the ball and left us a man short in our forward line allowing Brisbane some easy exits ie Zorko in particular.
Dumb move imo..

Not really, we don't know if they were right or wrong because, TDK only came on after 40 minutes and still only played 50% of game time in total. So after the first 40 minutes on the bench, he spent about another 20 minutes on the bench during the rest of the game.

And that's in the normal range when we play Pitto and Tom.  Pitto was only on the ground for 67% over four quarters

Tom was full of beans at the end of the game and showed no signs of tiring or favouring his injuries.  We were conservative with him, and that's fine, but, with hindsight, he could have played the entire game.

Q1 I50 Acres kicks a grubber, TO straigh back out. First I50 in 8 min

It wasn't funny at the time but the commentator said that Acres lowered his eyes.  They must have been around his ankles  :

I think its just another example of poor selections leading to poor match day moves.

Just one of those nights where everything was off. At least our recent form indicated that we were off the boil. The Doggies went into their EF looking a million bucks, and even they were made to look ordinary.

Off topic a bit -
I’ve actually noticed this finals series that the umpires are now calling the game correctly, and in line with supporters and communities expectation.
So it’s interesting that they actually do know how to call the game.

Apart from Harrys mark which they didn't pay.

Line ball, K.

Line ball? Replay showed he was 100% under it without a doubt.

Memo to umps: If you are unsure, look at what the opposition player does. If they stop and stand the mark, its a mark. If they try and jump on the player, it hit the ground first.

But didn't control it enough. K, I'm with you, I agree... but I'm looking at it from the umps POV.

But, really, in the totality of it all, it's a non issue. Ultimately, it would not have mattered whether that mark was paid and he goaled. We were an embarrassment. Confused and bereft of spirit.
