We may carry on that we were short in the backline (which I think we were), but Carlton have been last in the AFL for taking marks inside 50, and we allowed their mids to feed them.
We had been the worst or second worst for conceding marks within our forward fifty prior to the game last weekend, which possibly would have given an indication Carlton's fortunes had a fair chance of changing - especially when we left out two handy experienced defenders due to injury.
