CARLTON'S Ryan Houlihan says the Blues have worked diligently to avoid a repeat of last week's ugly loss to the Tigers in tomorrow's clash against the old enemy Collingwood at the MCG.
But he said the Blues had placed a heavy focus on skills during the week in a bid to arrest a four-game losing streak.
"It definitely was ugly," he said. "The game these days is so quick and the turn-overs can cost you so much.
"So this week has mainly been working on kicking and all of that type of stuff and hopefully we get it right Sunday."
In a season the Blues were hoping to climb the rungs after claiming the wooden spoon last year, Carlton has so far managed just one win.
Despite this, Houlihan said the players remained confident that a turn-around was not far away.
"I think we are not too far away from it, we sort of had three games where we could have won," he said.
"The feeling around the club is very positive. If we win this week it makes it two and four and we're sort of back in it so it's a very important game for us.
"You never drop your bundle, it's only Round 5. The confidence is definitely still there."
