Re: Post Game Analysis: AFL 2020 Rd 2: Carlton vs Melbourne
Reply #71 –
I realise it's foolish to try and be cheery in a losing post match thread, but take away that first q, and it's not all doom and gloom. We won the 2nd, 3rd and 4th q, had more scoring shots, more I50's, and frankly looked the better team for most of the match. Yes, it's only Melbourne, but if one of those behinds goes straight.................
I think that’s the issue Paul; we were the better team in terms of last season’s ladder position, strength on paper and our performance for two thirds of the game. Even though we could have put a stronger team on the park, our lack of intensity and inability to play to a losing ruckman at the start of the game was inexcusable. Surely Teague, Barker and Stanton would have prepared for Gawn having a picnic
