I wrote a couple of weeks ago about how Carlton hadn't won by ten goals or a hundred points in years. A 50 point win against North was solid. This season we have probably left 100 points out on the park with our second half fade outs against Port and Hawthorn which has adversely affected our percentage. Often with teams like Carlton when they make a charge up the ladder they often win a number of close games that over inflates their performance. With Carlton, the two close games should never have been close which actually undermines our apparent performance. This week is another opportunity to put in a solid performance and achieve a solid winning margin. It is also an opportunity to go six and two which means we only need to win six of the last 14 games to make the finals. It will be interesting to see which Carlton turns up, the one that will work hard and achieve a good victory or the self indulgent team that has achieved nothing but think and play like millionaires. This is the challenge, to turn up and play each week and play out the whole game.
I didn't get to see a lot of last week's game due to family commitments however it did seem that Fisher was kicking the ball a lot sooner and more deeply than what he has been previously doing this season. My criticism of Fisher is that he does to much thinking and not enough doing. Hopefully he has turned that around.
