Re: AFL Rd 22 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Melbourne

Apart from the final result, that was one of the best games of footy I’ve seen in quite a while. Both teams played as if they had much to gain and a lot to lose and neither team deserved to lose.
Vossy’s coaching was outstanding considering our depleted list and the late withdrawal of Cerra. His decision to coach from the bench was inspired and nearly got us over the line. The post-game solidarity was inspiring and bodes well for 2023.
Setterfield on Oliver was an inspired move and, apart from keeping the competition’s premier midfielder to a modest performance, showed what Setterfield is capable of, given an appropriate role.
Docherty into the midfield was another good move but it did weaken our defence when Newnes had to play back.
Last week’s loss would have taken a lot out the boys and getting them up to go so close to beating last year’s premiers was an admirable effort by the coaching group.
I know that some supporters were fixated on Vossy’s record with Brisbane, but that’s clearly not relevant to how Vossy is coaching now, despite what tossers like Lyon and King may say.
