To some of us we(Carlton) appeared to fold in 2018 under external pressure, long before we had completed the job of fixing our defensive structures which started in 2017, to me that made 2018 look chaotic with almost nothing functioning on field. I realise Docherty being absent is a big part of that structure, I can't help but think it was far worse than it needed to be!

Richmond is something of a statistical anomaly, but was still good enough to get a % near 120.
Given our performances last year, I think the media went easy on us. Almost felt sorry for us. In past years, they would have demanded Bolton's head on a platter, torched the place and danced around the ashes.
