In every game this year, we have had one really bad patch of 20-30 mins. We were lucky against the Bulldogs last week - their kicking for goal in the third quarter was so bad that we still had a reasonable lead at 3/4 time.
Consistency is the biggest enemy of young teams.
Message at half time yesterday should have been 'work like hell to kick the first two goals in the second half' - instead it looked more like 'make sure you hang on to the lead'.
To be frank , the missed opportunity was the last half of the second quarter. Found themselves 6 goals up 15 minutes in and it was a bit of a coast into half time. If the gap is 9 or 10 at half time, game is over.
Never give a sucker a sniff. When you are 5 goals in front, play like your are two goals behind.....

This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
