Lack of composure lost us that one.
I lost count of the number of times we were in the box seat to score or create a scoring opportunity only to mis kick, fumble or choose the wrong option to the cats advantage and we were still half a chance.
Spot on, Thry. Every game we see that when opposition players with good foot skills get the ball they almost immediately make a positive decision about moving the ball to advantage.
On the other hand, so many Carlton players have a moment of indecision - will they kick the ball or look to handball because they don't have faith in their ability to hit a target. Consequently, sometimes under pressure, and sometimes not, we get bad handballs to team mates or a split second decision to kick the ball, usually ending in a turnover.
We are our own worst enemy.
