37.696 - 47.807 Tom Morris

Simmo, to the untrained eye, and my eye is untrained, I never played the game at the highest level. It feels like Carlton is losing the same way every week. Is that a generalised comment? Is that fair?

0

47.787 - 69.487 Ken Hinkley

Um, that's a good question. I, it's, I suppose it's happening. It's happening. The scoreboard's ticking over the same way, but how it's happening. I think if I had to put a finger on it, it looks like it starts in the middle and the, the North game, for example, um, the clearance rate, you know, you lose four or five in a row. LDU, um, On fire.

69.948 - 89.594 Ken Hinkley

Adelaide game, second quarter, first four clearances out of the middle, they lose. And then on the weekend, we saw the first five minutes. So the last quarter, Collingwood don't win that game without that ruck change. Because he's not rucking if that ruck change wasn't there. Because his ability to hit Dacos... Four times in a row?

Chapter 2: What are the key highlights from the Carlton vs. Collingwood game?

89.734 - 90.075 Ken Hinkley

Yep.

0

90.095 - 90.735 Sam Edmund

First four clearances.

0

90.756 - 107.998 Ken Hinkley

And just game in four, just access. And it was like, we can't stop this. And then from a Carlton point of view, it looks like panic sets in. And Ken, I'm interested to see what you think. When you're trying to work through these situations as a coach, it's like, how do we stay predictable when it's getting messy? And how do we be reliable, not remarkable?

0

108.018 - 119.64 Ken Hinkley

And I just think it creeps in where I've got to be the one to get the ball. Or when they get the ball, there's a bit of panic. It falls in the wrong player's hands who just don't handle the situations as good as others.

Chapter 3: Why does Carlton seem to lose games in a similar fashion each week?

119.66 - 130.444 Ken Hinkley

And then you get a day cost doing his thing on the weekend. So, yeah, I'm not sure what you're seeing, Cam. I'm seeing a five-minute period that quite often starts from the centre bounce.

0

130.508 - 146.967 Adam Simpson

Yes. Look, you see in doubt, I think as much as anything in the players, you know, they get to three quarter time, you know, until they can overcome that last quarter. The mental scars, I think, are the biggest thing, Simo. I mean, Nick Dacos was the biggest thing in the first five minutes. And you can plan for that.

0

147.067 - 169.411 Adam Simpson

I think you can actually plan for that a bit better and you can be ready for that. I mean, Nick Dacos' first goal when he run to the goal line. Like, that's purely just intent to run and work hard. If you've got a marker for Nick Dacos, surely at least they're on the goal line with him. You know, he picked up that ball in the goal square on his own and kicked the goal. And that's all it took.

0

169.732 - 174.359 Adam Simpson

I think watching that game, that's all it took for Carlton to go, oh no, here we go again.

0

174.599 - 175.42 Sam Edmund

Those 23 seconds.

175.621 - 190.245 Adam Simpson

Yeah. Yeah. I think that's what it felt like, you know, watching through the screen. I'm only watching through the screen. So I go, gee, that felt like, and I'd be interested in what it felt like at the ground. Cause I often say as a coach, it's a different feel when you're on the ground, but that just felt like, I know what Blues Radio was feeling.

191.587 - 209.284 Ken Hinkley

From a coaching point of view, when you've got a three-goal lead like that and you do concede a goal within the first 20 seconds, it's immediately game on. It doesn't matter what your belief system is, but there's something clearly there. They've got to get over and... From the rest of the game, they've just got to be careful. They're doing a few things right.

209.725 - 229.241 Ken Hinkley

They've changed that midfield mix, Ken. So there's a bit more flexibility, a bit more transition speed. They kick four goals, four from the back half turnover game, which they just hadn't done at all throughout the year. They dealt with 60 inside 50s for the most part and handled it pretty well. And then... They just didn't handle that five-minute moment.

229.281 - 241.097 Ken Hinkley

So you need to get to work on that, and that does start with belief. But the rest of the game seems to be ticking over okay. The biggest problem they've got, though, they're 1-5. So now you start thinking about your ladder position, Ken.

Chapter 4: How did Nick Daicos impact the game against Carlton?

377.327 - 395.953 Ken Hinkley

It was an 11-point expected score that they should have won by. But, you know, and from a Collingwood point of view, you've got to tip your lid, though. They're going nowhere until three-quarter time. Six goals in the first three quarters, they pile on 7-1 in the last half an hour. Fly's press conference was we needed to go conservative in the third quarter. We lost a bit of momentum.

0

395.973 - 401.14 Ken Hinkley

And then at three-quarter time, I said to them, let's go, let's be brave and let's not die wondering.

0

401.16 - 407.228 Tom Morris

And that's what they did. Yes or no to all of you. Is Nick Dacos' first 100 games the best first 100 games you've seen?

0

407.933 - 414.108 Adam Simpson

Yes. Kenny? Today, yes. I couldn't think about the next hundred of players that have played.

0

414.128 - 422.668 Tom Morris

Expected score, tie with Chris Judd. I love it, Sammy. First hundred. We'll continue the Carlton Colling conversation after the break and Elijah Hollands as well.
