Rd 17: In Game Emotional Outbursts: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[kruddler]

It is always hard to control emotion, because you are more emotional now, than in say rounds 2-3.
But to me that was one of our worst quarters for the year (and we have had quite a few worse quarters on the scoreboard).
Simply we are smashing the hitouts, equaling the clearances, but not looking like winning the ball around the ground and not looking dangerous going forward.

We must stick some tackles, that is point number 1. If Bolts could only give 1 message this half time break it should be... Stick tackles and stick them hard.
Give away a few frees if absolutely necessary, but hold up play and stick some farking tackles.

Just get a hold of the momentum of the game.

Dogs got on a run and we couldn't stop it.

Flood back sooner and if we do get possession, do our sideways/backwards kicking thing to take a bit of the sting out of the game. We let them get too far ahead and now we'll struggle to kick a score to get us back in it.
