Carlton are cooked with injuries today, Hawks have been on top all game and should control it from here

Carlton could miss finals if they are not careful

 

[Doggy]

Lol that 50m to Hawthorn.. it was in the marking contest.

The AFL love their little darlings this year

 

[CarnTheScray]

Carlton have major issues

 

[WAbulldog]

Not looking good for the old stinky blues.

OR

The umpire just made a mistake

 

[Doggy]

I'll ask again ... who would we rather play, Hawthorn or Carltank ... because it might happen.

This is why I'd prefer they didn't make it but they're probably going to

 

[Doggy]

OR

The umpire just made a mistake

Sure... let's say that.

It wasn't like it was 50/50

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Carlton could miss finals if they are not careful

Definitely could. A very kind last two games but they might be relying on results even if they win those two.

The way they are going im not sure you'd be that confident in them beating anyone

Voss will be feeling the heat if they miss the top 8

Would be funny if they did a 2022

 

[CarnTheScray]

To prefer Carlton to make finals over hawks since the hawks appear to be the better team, is a defeatist attitude.

Come join me on the council of high expectations and not fearing other teams.

We are on the brink of a round where Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton all lose, in an exciting and incredibly open season.

If Hawks win by enough all four could be out of the eight as well

 

[Dog 36]

Hope I have this correct

If Hawks best Blues

Win today almost guarantees top 8

Lose today we will most likely need to win both games vs North and GWS

It is crazy the drop from where he was 18 months ago until now. 30-35 every week.

Probably the worst off season ever though. He was clearly having serious personal issues and it's impossible to know what's going on outside of what we see on screen, but he's clearly not the same player he was and you'd have to presume he is still dealing with his off field stuff.

He's only 27 still so no reason why he won't get back to his best. Looks like he needs a fresh start. Would take a very brave team to stump up the picks Melbourne would ask for him after what we've seen from the past 18 months

It’s a bit of a gamble taking a player who has been in off field drama.

Cousins by all accounts never got off the gear in his time at Richmond and Stringer, while he’s been solid and seems to have his life in order, hasn’t ever recaptured his 2015 form.

Aker went down in a ball of flames after three pretty good seasons with us, Fev was sacked after one season at Brisbane and Andrew Lovett was sacked without playing a game for St Kilda.

Sometimes you get a bargain (ie Rhys Shaw at Sydney) but often they just keep going the way they were going.

2 wins required

I said Hawks percentage might work against them come a tie on points. But right now they are winning by over 30 points vs the Blues, which will bring the Blues and Hawks close to each other in percentage. If the Hawks keep this up, then the Blues are in big trouble. Hawks with two percentage boosting games the final two weeks of the season.

Assuming a scenario Fremantle upset GWS, it will leave the Giants, Hawks and Blues on the same points and similar percentage going by my predictor. But the Hawks will be favorites in this scenario. The battle for the bottom couple of places is just as interesting as the other battles.

Not sure I’d be willing to take that risk, even with the upside being a perennial AA midfielder, but we’ll see. Maybe a team like Adelaide who have struggled to get out of bottom four for 5 or 6 seasons would be willing to take the risk

 

[ossie_21]

Curnow now injured and looks done with an ankle/foot

 

[oneoffpost]

I must have missed the memo because I was having the same sh1tty trouble. I too hope it works as receiving continual notifications of their inane discussions is not a choice I would freely make.

I must admit I enjoyed getting there notifications after last weekends debacle against Port. Some very enjoyable reading I must say.

 

[gordo2016]

Mc Govern injured as well. West Coast would fancy their chances at home against the Bluebaggers next week.

 

[WAbulldog]

Curnow officially ruled out for the rest of the game. Their cooked

Someone definitely would.

I think with Libba, Bont and Treloar firing, Richards and Sanders emerging and Macrae forced to the fringe we just wouldn’t have the need such that it would justify the risk.

I think clubs like Adelaide and North will have a sniff. The question for them is whether they can wrangle him.

 

[CarnTheScray]

Carlton’s injury management is ****ing deplorable.

The McKay concussion. Letting McGovern take a kick after what appeared to be a head knock. And now playing one of their champions in Curnow despite being in doubt all week.

Embarrassing.
