The lapses are right. I mentioned to Tribey Melbourne remind me of Carlton circa 2010 when a game is on the line or meant something, they would disintegrate. Hence the club hasn't won 5 in a row since 2001...... 15 years..
Beveridge has the right idea like Ratts - attacking footy builds confidence, and means opposition teams have to chase us, rather than us trying to defend small totals. The Doggies are tougher in the clinches, and Beveridge has benefited from better recruiting, and from the fact that his predecessor was Brendan McCartney. It's a shame about their high number of injuries - they just can't score at the moment.
But I agree - those lapses, then as now, are frustrating. How many coaches have we had since 2001, and only Ratts made a small dent in the consecutive win stat. Must be something in the water at PP.
