AFL Rd 17 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs West Coast

I hate being the last game of the weekend.
Live Long and Prosper!

Kept them scoreless in the first.
Kept them scoreless in the last.

You do that, you're going to win 99 games out of 100.

Back the points.
Enjoy the % boost.
Move on.

Get your butts back on a plane ASAP because we've got a big game next Saturday.

When was the last time we:
(a) beat a team by ten goals?
(b) kept a team scoreless for 2 quarters?
Especially when it was an away game?

I'd think (a) might be 2013, as we had a few good games that year.
(b) might be back in 1995. Maybe.
Live Long and Prosper!

One of our worst quarters of the year....sandwiched between two of our best. Hard to fathom the drop-off after we were so "on" in the first quarter. But smashed them in the end...take that every day of the week.

Nearly 140 possessions combined for Hewett, Walsh, Cerra, Kennedy and Cripps....reckon you'll win most games with that sort of domination.

It was a good win in the end however let's remember they are a depleted team still with nothing to play for.
We we are switched on we can match it with anyone.
Just need to be able to sustain it in game.
Charlie & Harry's individual brilliance is also masking a few cracks in the forward line IMO.

That's how I saw it, West Coast are a very average team but we did what we had to do but it was our our weapons down forward vs a very no name WC defense that won us the game imho.

It's like so many things - Nail the start,  nail the end and everyone goes away happy,  forgetting what happens in the middle.

Thought we withstood their pressure in the third well.

Josh Honey will be going back to the 2's next week. he had 4 possessions for the day; 4 handballs and 1 tackle. He did a couple of other things that don't show in the stats, but he really didn't have a good day.
Will Hayes got 5 possessions in half of a quarter. he came on for Newnes.

Durdin only had 10 possessions, but kicked 2 goals and had 5 tackles. His pressure in the forward half is good.

We missed Owies. I hope his injury, whatever it is, comes good sooner rather than later.

Motlop was also much less impressive this week, but he is a work in progress.

To be honest, if we had a full list to choose from, both Honey and Motlop would go back to the VFL. But we haven't had a full list to choose from this century yet.

Weitering will be better for the run. Pity we get only a 6 day break.
Live Long and Prosper!

Momentum changes are part of the game.
Over recent years we've become experts at identifying (and fearing) them.
The issue for us is the 'gap' between our best and worst, and a lot of that is down to attitude rather than skill.

The football we played in the first quarter would blitz most teams.
For a while we forgot to work as hard as the opposition.

The best part of the game for me was the last quarter which in many respects was built on recognising we would have to regain that work effort to win.

The test will be if we can do it against the best.
We get a chance to test that out next week

My only teeny weeny concern was the switch from selfless to selfish football in the 1st and 2nd qtrs respectively. Selfish hasn't been us this year.

Agree re Honey, just a VFL player.

@ElwoodBlues1 Yes mate I have your cheque ready to mail, I was wrong. I assume you put a little wager on for H and Prince Charles to kick 5 each?

And Honey hasn't kicked a goal in his 3 games since coming back in. If Owies doesn't get up, then maybe Martin comes back in for Honey.

There's not a lot left in the VFL so maybe Hayes comes in for Newnes.
