Analysis Worst performance of R1

[Cleric]

We’ve generally struggled against Fremantle (and GWS) there in recent years, and we’ve lost six games at Kardinia Park over the past two seasons. The Doggies went winless at GMHBA Stadium from 2004 to 2022 but have now beaten us twice. Although Geelong and Adelaide don’t play in Geelong this year, they usually do annually, as you’re often shafted by big Victorian clubs refusing to travel down the highway so I rate your chance next season.

Returning to the thread, I actually believe the poll results are in the correct order.

True, but everytime the Crows play at Kadinia, regardless of our form, I don't expect us to win.

Carlton the worst loss, port the worst performance

Voted Carlton but surprised North only got one vote at the moment. Really think they should be improving and jumping out of the bottom 4 this year and to start the season behind 6 goals to 1 playing catch up was disappointing. But bigger expectations for Carlton Port and Freo make their performances pretty average.

Fremantle need to work on their speed while entering the forward 50. Young was missed with his effectiveness going into the 50 as well.

The worst by a mile was the performance of the pretend magpies from Adelaide. As soft as butter.

The big question is.....

Can Carlton go back to back in round 2?

One can only hope

It's not just all of the above - it's that the quality of the game was, apart from its closeness, terrible. Just appalling to watch.

I dunno, I quite enjoyed watching the Carlton players world collapse mid game.

I actually don't think its Carlton, they still were able to lead by 7 goals early but somehow lost by a small margin, i get it was a shock and unacceptable for them to lose.

But Freo, Port & StKilda were woeful for 4 quarters. They showed nothing.

Look, I do think Freo were dreadful, but their team did kick 6 goals to Geelong's 1 in the 3rd quarter - I wouldn't call that woeful. Also, I'm not sure any player on debut has kicked 4 goals in 1 quarter. Still, for 3 quarters they were dog poo.

I get the kid kicking 4 goals in 5 minutes was exciting - i enjoyed that also. But Freo were down by 9 goals at half time, the game was done. Freo had a good 3rd quarter i suppose but gave it all back and more when the Cats came out and kicked 10 in the last quarter.
