Game Day - Round 21 versus Carlton

We were absolute *smile* today. How many stoppages and one in ones did we win in the second half
 
Nowhere near as clean as we were v Melb in wet. Fumbly too. Anyway. Next week absolutely massive.
 
Did what we had to.
Unconvincing
Caddy chol bolton Short and rioli all in trouble next week
Should've been a 10+ goal win.
 
We take our foot off the pedal when we get well in front and then the opposition put pressure on us around the ball and we look ordinary.

Problem is we do this against bottom of the ladder teams and top 8 teams. Wish we would maintain the pressure for the full 4 quarters.

In the end a good win but I wish we would just shut teams out once we get well in front and not let them back into the match.
 
If I have a concern ,

The last month, when the weather drys out , we can look a bit panicked when a team moves the ball quickly,

Once it rains we get it back on our terms

Agree. Just shows how dangerous these risks are. Being a heavy ground, I though some of our players were getting tired. Lucky Baker was last in line in that late play otherwise they would've kicked another goal.
 
We may have been a bit guilty of putting the cue in the rack early and looking towards next week

Wasn't a bad sheppard either!
 
In the end happy with a 28 point win....BUT very disappointing after half time!
Basically shut up shop and went through the motions.
Dimma clearly not happy!
