Rd 9: Pre Game Prognostications: Carlton vs North Melbourne

[IvanAwfulbigone]

They say you often play the following week the way you finish off a game.

North 2.8 in the second half, 0.4 in the last quarter....

We're a monty!

I reckon there's a certain amount of truth in that. But perhaps it should be offset against that phenomena in which teams that prevail in emotion charged circumstances week after week usually come crashing back to earth with an almighty thud (lop-sided GF's anyone?).

Having said that, there's something different about this Carlton team. Even at 17 points down with 10 mins to go I still thought, maybe ... just maybe.
