It's the scoring from turnover because you can go from contest to contest.

um that's where it's starting to affect them and you look at carton they build up that list to be a bigger inside bigger body midfield but then all of a sudden because of a couple rules all of a sudden it's like oh hang on our list is too dominant one way so that's why they've got to throw in these younger kids who probably can't have a consistent impact just yet and if you look at crips i i felt i felt for carton because

The biggest knock on Carlton over the last 18 months has been their second halves.

You can't run out a second half.

This crip gets tired.

So what you'd look through and say, well, when's the best time for us to give him a rest early so he can have energy late in the game?

Unfortunately, when Adelaide got a spray at quarter time from Nick's,

starting to skip on the bench probably wasn't the ideal time.

Maybe if he did need two rotations, maybe give him the first five minutes in there just to get the tempo of the game, have the stoppages go on their way, and then maybe give him a six to ten minutes off and then maybe take him off from 20 to 25 minutes.

Because what we saw, when teams get a spray from their coach, it can lift them.

And if you look what Dawson was able to do, they go out there, they win the first five or six clearances.

They got the first four or five goals on the board.

And then Kripper gets back on and there's six minutes gone in the second quarter.

So I can understand why they tried to do it.

But on the flip side, maybe study Skipper, your best stoppage player, probably in the competition, on the ground at that when it's really hot at the start of the quarter.

I don't think so because we've gone past that of a skipper saying, I need to be here, especially early on in the game.

Because what you're trying to preach to your players is it's an even workload.

I'm no more important than you.

You're no more important than me.

And we need other people to take responsibility.
