Re: Rd 12: Post Game Purgatory: Carlton vs St. Kilda

This is a critical time. It's like the culture of the past 15 years or more finally banged into BBs culture of, amongst many things, leadership density. For so long we've relied on our champs. Tiredness may have played a small part in yesterday but it seemed more about leadership laziness which could sure look like body tiredness.
I'm sure there is an amount of physical tiredness as this is probably the hardest our boys have had to train and work for many, many years (both mentally and physically) and it will take time to harden their bodies and ingrain a leadership response/thinking... it'll take time to create the 'Brutal Blues'... as yesterday and at times against Brisvegas there were periods of the old 'comfortable Carlton.'
Then there's simply the personnel issue...
