Pre game perturbations: AFL 2021 Rd 12: Carlton vs West Coast

[Gointocarlton]

This is the key difference between our current team and Nthmond's, and our current club culture and Nthmond's.

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!

Let the cobblers cobble huh? Also interesting is how far the input from players at Rich has spread. I hear that lesser likes such as Castagna and Edwards have great footy brains and make alot of calls/changes on field. Again, credit to Dimma for instilling this liberty on them. I do see Cripps attempting to direct traffic and call plays at bounces and stoppages. I see SOS And Eddie doing it abit in the fwd line, but thats about it. Most of our blokes are like hatchlings in a nest looking up beak open waiting for a feed.
