I heard one of the stars from that great era being asked about how that developed and whether the players took it easy knowing they could turn it on in the 3rd quarter. The response was something like, “Nah, the boys used to party on Friday nights so they were a bit dusty when games started. But after the half-time break, they’d recovered enough to play hard in the 2nd half”.
I can’t remember who it was who said that, but it was a classic.
The old parko half time address - just get the first goal of the 3rd q, and let the heatley stand do the rest

Disappointing. Murphy should have been a bit more honest. Bonehead decision to drop him. Only one of a few blokes to hit a target in the 3rd against the Hawks. But lets play an under done Martin and Casboult in defense. Did we run out of legs again? WHAT?? Who would have thought that might happen?
Still need Murphy's class. It great having all these guys that have a crack and are hard at it only to watch them turn it over and watch the ball sail over their head for a goal.
Absolutely!
There's no way Murphy should have been dropped after his efforts kept us in the game in the third quarter.
And there's nothing like a bit of honesty. Of course, punters listen to the media spin rather than what Murphy actually said.

Just reading around some of the Carlton forums and facebook pages....
This is a game we should win, most fans are expecting a win, but there's a funny vibe about it.
It's like many folks are expecting the win but have already got there anger 'bottled and ready to go' should we lose.

Given their injuries, poor record on the road it all points to us doing well. This is probably it for the season too if we lose and could be the beginning of the end for the coach even though Liddle and the board say they are backing him in.

This is a game where if we win it will be more of a relief than a wild celebration..

Funny you should say that, Principal LODS. I look at the 'outs' for the Weagles and my mind shot back to the final series of 1994. For those who can remember, we met an undermanned Pussy Cats, who had some key players out -- at Waverley I think -- and we were beaten despite being the hot faves.
Today is a different kind of test for us... I wonder how difficult we'll make it for ourselves!

I remember it at Waverley. Couch, Bairstow and Hocking were late outs. We couldn't possibly lose after being upset by Melbourne the previous week.

Disgraceful effort in those two games, awful.
