Re: AFL Rd 8 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

Since 2019, Brisbane has finished 2nd, 2nd, 4th and 6th, and played off in semi finals or prelims. In the same period, we have been mid table or worse. Last night was simply a reflection of that. They are hungrier, harder, cleaner, more efficient, better structures and more talent. They are definitely the real deal, and we are still a work in progress. Much like the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, we never seem to be quite finished.
I was pleased with the first and last quarters - at least the boys showed some fight and brought a little respectability to the score line. The 2nd and 3rd would have no doubt been described by my mother as "big rahbeesh", were she still around.
How do they fix basic skill errors under pressure? Thats going to take years IMO. I'm not questioning our endeavour or effort, its poor kicking, handballs and decisions that cost us games.
