I had some time to reflect on the season so far and I think that there are Carlton are bipolar this season. One good
and one bad 
!The good Carlton is disciplined, has a wide range of contributors
, players sticking with their assigned roles , players running hard when we have the ball and when we don't and sure disposal (if not entirely accurate) 
. The good Carlton played:Round 1 v Richmond (won well)
Round 2 v Brisbane (won)
Round 5 v Western Bulldogs (won)
Round 6 v Hawthorn (lost narrowly)
Round 11 v Brisbane (won)
Round 12 v St Kilda (lost narrowly)
Round 15 v Richmond (won)
Round 16 v Sydney (won)
Round 19 v Geelong (won well)
The bad Carlton is undisciplined (e.g. extra goals to Essendon* and Fremantle)
, argumentative (with umpires and each other) 
, unskillful (especially field and goal kicking) 
, 'cheating' (trying to get cheap handballs), no hard running and confused (either not understanding the gameplan or lack of gameplan) 
.Bad Carlton played:
Round 3 v Essendon* (lost narrowly) - especially first quarter
Round 4 v Sydney (lost)
Round 7 v Fremantle (lost - OMG)
Round 9 v Adelaide (lost badly) - although Ratts took the fall for this
Round 13 v Essendon* (lost badly) - especially after half time
Round 14 v Fremantle (won)
Round 17 v Collingwood (lost badly) - this game is the poster-child for Bad Carlton
Round 18 v North Melbourne (won narrowly)
Rounds 8 & 10 were wins but we were Good Carlton at times and Bad Carlton at other times
Good Carlton takes the game up to any opposition (Hawthorn/St Kilda) while Bad Carlton falls over the line with some luck or a poor finishing opposition (Freo/Nth).
Port Adelaide are the same. Let's hope that either the Good Carlton come to play (or the Bad Port) next week
