Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 20 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide

What brainiac scheduled us last on a Sunday, then Friday night?  Don't see how that was ever a level playing field.

There's nothing level about this competition any longer. The tail wags the dog.

That said, a 5d break shouldn't occur this time of year. Obviously the powers want to pip other codes and $ deals. Given there's 18 teams, I'd guess 5d could be avoided,  althoughwe did put our case forward for the big games. Unfortunate for us, this one coincides with crucial injuries (some compliments of the sniper 😕) as well as poor form after return from injury. If you look at that combination, it resembles an obvious ticking time bomb. Particularly when you consider the load on the regulars and the  capability of bottom end players.

Interesting to see the 5d break spread across all teams.

We can only remain hopeful that we can turn it around. What is certain is that we're very hard to beat when at our fierce  best. The real challenge is consistency.

Go Blues

- Too much back slapping and bath water drinking at half time for my liking.
- Defence is a shambles, has been for weeks, wish our fwds could have that dished up to them by oppo.
- Enough with Cunningham already., clean your locker out son.
- I think we are pretenders.

It's had that fake feel since WB's IMO. Like we'd hit a threshold. Injuries adding up again and we don't have the relative depth to cover. Unfortunately our bottom dozen aren't AFL standard so the 'next man in' isn't sustainable.

Not too many positives from the past few weeks. If nothing improves significantly we'll slide quickly.

Go Blues
