I read what was said on The Roar and thought a comment on the article by a contributor might be of interest:
"It's the nature of the loss to Port that's the problem. Nearly a quarter of the Blues total score was kicked in the last 5 minutes of the game when Port had clocked off.
Carlton had 10 of the lowest 12 disposal-getters on the ground, and the two Port players in that bottom 12 were injured pair Hartlett and Dan Houston, who was subbed out at halftime.
There are glaring stats that Carlton must swiftly address or run the risk of missing the finals for an eighth consecutive season.
The first is simple but damning. The Blues haven't been ahead of the win-loss ledger during a season since mid-2016.
The other stat is equally telling. Since the start of 2014, Carlton has won only nine games against teams that went on to play finals in that given season."
With a membership of 80,000 mostly unhappy fans, is it any wonder that the media is on our case?
