There is an interesting article in The Age online which states:
"The theory has been you stop Paddy Cripps and you stop Carlton. And it is true to an extent.
The other part to the newer theory is that, presently, you can rely on Carlton to do the job for you. Carlton helps stop Carlton.........their ball use is dreadful for a side with pretensions to the finals."
It also adds that Carlton gave up 85 points from turnovers against Brisbane, and if you exclude the West Coast game we are bottom 3 with North and West Coast for points conceded from turnovers.
No wonder the supporters are restless.
