In first halves, Carlton is playing to win. In second halves? It is playing to not lose. The clear shift in confidence is emblematic in how the Blues take the game on, and on Sunday afternoon against Melbourne it showed once again. To start the game the Blues were aggressive, quick, and well organised, but after the main break there was a tentative feeling about their approach to the game, giving up a 43-point lead to fall to the Demons. It opens the door for opposing sides ready for a resurgence. For the better part of a year, the Blues have been trying to address their significant downturn in second halves, but could it be as simple as playing to win as opposed to trying not to lose? – Gemma Bastiani | |||

Game Review
Carlton's mindset shift is telling In first halves, Carlton is playing to win. In second halves? It is playing to not lose. The clear shift in confidence is emblematic in how the Blues take the game on, and on Sunday afternoon against Melbourne it showed once again. To start the game the Blues were aggressive, quick, and well organised, but after the main break there was a tentative feeling about their approach to the game, giving up a 43-point lead to fall to the Demons. It opens the door for opposing sides ready for a resurgence. For the better part of a year, the Blues have been trying to address their significant downturn in second halves, but could it be as simple as playing to win as opposed to trying not to lose? – Gemma Bastiani
