Rd 10: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs North Melbourne

[Baggers]

I keep thinking about David Parkin's statement about playing more than 2 first year players in the side in the same game. I reckon he's spot on.

Likewise. We just looked unbalanced.

The danger is we become satisfied with 'honourable losses. Our first qtr was absolutely pathetic. Weak as water. No leadership. And that just shouldn't happen. In the end it turned out to be a game we should have won... against a notoriously inconsistent opponent. I liked BBs words after the game. Though I don't like 'iffs' I suspect had Rowe/Jones and Thomas played we would have won... bringing in a first game for the year bloke (Sumner) and Macreadie for Rowe was wrong.
