I suppose it's easy to identify and hard to replicate, but it's clearly been our problem for Carlton for some time now, and I think it's a big part of why we never have massive wins.
You can be as keen as mustard, but if your solution to the problem is to sprint to the coach at 1/4-time and ask "How do we fix it boss?" your team is going nowhere. Nthmond see a momentum swing 5mins into the Qtr, and 30s later guys like Cotchin, Dusty, Grimes, Riewoldt and Rance are doing something about it! Dimma gets some credit for this, he saw a bunch of fathead assistants getting in the way of the good footballers he had on the list and gave the assistants the ar5e!
