But it's the same old story : ball use, ball use and ball use. Whether this is a time issue or a personnel issue, I have no idea.I didn't doubt the effort, but I thought both sides were very average. Melbourne also had a lot of significant outs, but IMHO, they looked like a middle of the pack team last night.
On the times when we took the game on and ran, we looked ok. But it was the same old story for 90% of the night - stagnant, predictable football, which is so easy to defend against.
One last thing - LOB, hand in the #4 guernsey, son, just not up to it. Get the Binns kid in for the rest of the year.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
