Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 10 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney
Last post by rocky -Even when we started so well I was just waiting for the tide to turn. I've said it before and I'll say it again WE HAVE NO DEPTH. we need our best 22 (and I'd suggest we only have 22) on the park at the one time for any chance of victory. Sydney have blokes like Luke Parker waiting in the wings
Now if we had Silvagni, Motlop, Cerra, Fogarty, Docherty, Martin, Saad, Cottrell, and as of today, Weitering available, well, you know what, we do better. We don't have to play the likes of Fantasia, Carroll, Durdin, Owies etc. etc. But the truth of the matter is we HAVE to.
Make no mistake, barring injuries, Swans will win the big one this year by a country mile.
We will be lucky to make the 8 if things don't turn around on the injury front.
I'd say we did well this game because we only lost one soldier. Mind you, training this coming week could tip a few more in as has been the case.
Oh and anothing thing, we looked well and truly gassed long before the game was over. What's that all about?
My only gripe is blokes like Fantasia get chance after chance only to predictably fall over and guys like Binns keep getting overlooked. Who here thought that Fantasia's one shot on goal, 40m out mind you, was going to go through? He didn't even make the distance FFS. AFL standard, I don't think so.
But there are plenty more and that's the cold hard fact. It will be like this for a while yet until we get our BEST 22 on the park.
God help us next week against the rampaging Suns
