AFL Rd 3 2023 Post Game Prognostications Giants vs Carlton

There’s no way the free kick for dissent should be the big issue. The real controversy was why Harry wasn’t paid a free kick for being held immediately beforehand.

Ugly win, but an important one. And we’ve now staved off losses in our last 3 games when we were repeatedly overrun last year.

My biggest tale away from this match is that between Crippa and Doc albeit getting plenty of the ball only had one tackle between them. This is a worrying side for this poor tackling team.
Persisting with LOB is not working.......time to give Binns a few games.

I missed the in-game thread. At least this one is ready.

There's already a post game thread crash. They need to be merged.

We’re not firing by any means but we’ll sit either 3rd or 4th on the ladder before taking on North on Good Friday potentially without their best player in LDU. Winning ugly will do it for now.

4 points is 4 points.

Ignore the dissent free.  Gws got some charity too, and got away with a few.

Blake acres has put together 2 very good games.

Our injury issues are worse than we are letting on IMHO.

This was a game that in past times we would've lost and lost bravely at that. Its difficult to define but there's been a big turnaround in the  culture of the club and it can be measured by these scrappy wins. GWS were well drilled in how to hurt us and open us up on the outside. Not easy to sustain against Voss's Carlton now.

Sorry I missed something.

Lochiel o brien has been ineffective as a sub in each game hes come on.

He did ok against Richmond but he may as well have not have played against Geelong and today it was a bridge too far and his final quarter was putrid. 

He either starts next game if acres doesn't come up or needs a game in 2s.

So very disappointing. Just hoping that one day we turn the corner and just win games against opposition that are crape. Make no mistake GWS are carp and we only managed to stumble across the line because Cripps had a blinder, the backline was solid and an umpire plucked something out of his hole that will be talked about more than the game and how bad we were. Yes I'm happy we got the points but when do we turn the corner. Maybe next week.

The positives
- W away
- W in a different way (kicking pts. Who'd have thought that was a thing)
- W in windy conditions
- W in front of minuscule crowd
- W after q4 turnaround
- W despite in-game injuries
- Great negating from a few (Newman 🙌)
- Ability to hold on for the W

Needs urgent attention
- Goalkicking, obviously
- Pressure around the ground (Durds aside)
- Connection
- Consistency
- Basic skills
- Player durability
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

It’s hard to tackle when you’re the one with the ball.  Crippa and Doc can just keep doing what they’re doing.
