Post Game-Carlton v Collingwood

[PaulP]

Looked to me like we were playing to minimise the damage rather than win the game. How do you explain playing a 5 man forward line against this mob? Looks like Bolton is in survival mode.
Still they did have a decent crack at least. Completely knackered by Q4. Injuries curse continue to hurt us.

Yes, no doubt. I think the damage limitation style is absolutely and unfortunately for now, the right way to go. Being in the contest, or not too far out, reads a lot better than a 10 goal flogging. Bolton's attempt to add an offensive layer has backfired badly, and I suspect both coaches and players are at fault. I have no issue with shoot out, sling shot footy, so long as both teams are doing it. With us, it is, as Lethal said after the 85 GF, "like trying to fight a war without weapons."

I'd much prefer to see this style than a 60 point shellacking.
