I think people are a bit harsh in their judgement of the team. The outcome of two goals after half time again was disappointing but I think losing Curnow was a major problem for the team to overcome. Of concern was the missing of gettable goals which would change the narrative as was the dropping of marks. In the main I thought our decision making was better but we need to see it under pressure before we get to far ahead of ourselves. The first quarter showed how good we can play but the players need to keep believing even when things aren't going our way. The backline is really solid and Binns and Lord, though not fast, have given us a little more zip as has Cincotta. Our midfield is solid so I wouldn't be bringing in Pittonett and moving TDK forward. Stick with what is working and give Lemmey a chance. Safe option is to bring in Young but I think we need to find out if Lemmey is up to it. Wilson must also be close but there needs to be a spot.
Destiny is in our hands but we have tended to fumble it in the past.

Watched the replay, nothing much has changed. Only kicked 4 goals from mid way through the second quarter. Missing goals, not reaching the goal line, poor skills though less than last time I watched, poor decision making going forward, players getting in one another way when going for the ball, not sure what each other will do. Thought they kept up their contested effort and didn't drop their heads. Still not playing the match out. After TDK kicked his goal the players switched off again. Didn't come out ready to play after half time. Acres goal should have sparked an onslaught, Williams goal should have been a start of an avalanche, but we decided to shut up shop. Allowed them to get back I the game.  Never give a sucker an even break. In 1979 Carlton went to sleep and allowed North to win the game.  In 1981 we slowed down and allowed Essendon to win the game,  we learnt our lesson and won Premierships, we don't seem to learn our lessons.
Well done How. Well done match committee for bringing young guys through.

One game in a row where they came out and had a go and didn't give up when faced by adversity. The question is will this become the Carlton they could be and should be or will they go back to wallowing in mediocrity as they have for the past 25 years. As I have said previously, you can rely on Carlton, they will let you down every time. Good win but can we trust them.
