Didn't turn up to play, missed opportunities to seal the game in the third quarter, then let them kick away at the start of the last, almost a typical Carlton game of the past, but fortunately we didn't blow it this time. Hopefully the attitude at the club is not satisfaction of making the eight but disappointment at not making the top four. We have won nine on the trot and have five to go. We are just starting to meet our potential but we have just got to keep working on our mindset and keep developing a winning culture.
Gold Coast have a lot of talent after all the draft help they have received and they would have been smarting after how we embarrassed them last time so it should not have been a surprise at how hard they came out of the blocks this time. The third quarter was typical of Carlton's fear of failure fear of success conundrum we have lived through over the past few years. However we did not drop our heads this time when Gold Coast kicked away but found a way to get back to the front and we managed to hold on.
Walsh, Cerra and maybe McGovern to come back and then a week off. Need to win next week and set up ourselves for a real tilt at the finals.
Go Blues.
