Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 8 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood
Last post by LP -Out coached?
Our whole side has lost confidence, it makes them hesitant, and when they hesitate they look slow and are under more pressure using the footy than they need to be.
Fantasia.The less said about Fantasia the better, when BT starts groaning about his mate "Orrrrazzzzio" you know there is a problem!
Pitto dominated early. Went off and the pies dominated. He came back in and we held our own again. Pies nullified his influence in the second half well. Tdk was just another body in the ruck. Thankfully he kicked a couple.I reckon that broken nose care of Cripps took a bit more out of Pitto than we suspect, but we must not ignore the change in the umpiring of the ruck contest after the first few minutes of the first. It seems the AFL can now change rules dynamically during the game.
Charlie did not play great, but he was probably up against his hardest opponent of the year who is more slouch, both physically and intellectually. Still kicked a couple.Charlie is not in great form, but he is working at it, he always looks a bit laconic.
Williams has a big target on his back and it was made bigger with the early frees against. They were a bit harsh and just about pushed him over the edge. His hammy will probably come as a relief for him.Why he was singled out by the umpires and not a bunch of others is a mystery, it seems if you are a Filth KPD you can hold a Carlton KPF all you like, but if a Carlton MD holds a Filth SF and you are done!
Young was not terrible for his standards, but is still not performing as well as we need him too. We better have an alternative option lined up in the off-season.He's just not physical or reactive enough, spent a lot of time watching others run around him.
Some proper weirdness going on, but this is the Carlton of old.i think we're more banged up than we're letting on.
