Just got home from the footy.
I don't know how it happened, but at some time in the last 6 weeks, Carlton has forgotten how to actually play football.
Here are some tips for my Carlton brethren:
a) Go hard at the ball, but also be mindful of where it's going; make sure you are where the ball is going to be
b) Lay tackles
c) Back yourselves to run and carry the football, and run in numbers (watch the St Kilda game from earlier in the year to remind yourselves how to do this)
If I was Brett Ratten, this week I'd put the Aussie Rules balls away, and get the boys playing basketball and rugby. I realise this sounds counter-intuitive, but basketball will help them with skills such as reading the play, and covering their man in defence, and rugby will obviously help with tackling. What Brett actually does remains to be seen, but whatever it is, I hope it works!
Also, it seems we're now in an election campaign. More on that later...
