Those bad habits I saw sneaking in last week are amplified tonight, keep watching and count how many times you see two Carlton players watching the ball roll past them each waiting for the other to pick it up.

Fraser's first 5 or 6 weeks were different, but the honeymoon is over.
Agree LP. Too many sitting back waiting for someone else to do the hard work.

Tonight was a test and we failed.
We planned very poorly for the rain IMO. I stayed home because I checked my trusty metvuw charts (https://www.metvuw.com/forecast/forecast.php?type=rain&region=victoria&noofdays=3) and it was obvious to me it was going to be drenched.  Players trying to scoop up the cake of soap off the deck at full tilt (Wilson, Cowan, Cerra), players flying for high kicks (Kemp, H).
Welcome to Carlton interim coach Fraser.

Hopefully it's the "due for a loss" thing. It hasn't been good. Unlike after the flat Essendon game where we picked up, tonight we carried on where we left off last week.

Ison's miss. would have put us within 14pts. Dropped our head and let them kick the next 3.

I wish I was wrong, I hope we can have a miracle last, but it's unfolding as I posted earlier in the week and it's nothing to do with the conditions. There last game was a rocket, our last game an omen.
