Preview Rnd 13 Carlton v Hawthorn 7:50pm Friday 13th June 2014 @ MCG.

[RedFury]

Really not confident here, despite the occasion. I think we'll come out with high intensity but I'm worried about what will happen if we can't put it on the scoreboard and the hawks get away to an early lead. After the disappointment of last week, it could get ugly if the boys drop the head early and decide it's all too hard like against Essendon and Collingwood.

Please tell me I'm wrong.

Glad Juddy is back as he's one of the few players who can buck the trend and lift the team when things aren't going well.

Hawks kicked the first 3 or 4 last year before we even got a point.

Keep the faith

Trying to.. had a good feeilng about last week and we played pretty well and got so close.

I just hope the boys have another strong effort like that in them (2nd qtr excluded), and a little more goes our way *cough* Umpiring *cough*

 

[RedFury]

We really need Henderson and/or Waite (preferably both) to step up an do something significant if we're gonna win here. Can anyone see us winning if they are both kept quiet?

 

[Dramoth]

Apparently trained with Adrian Whitehead in the rehab group (no pun intended)

Angwin and Norman were missing from the rehab group...

Matty Kreuzer's mark

God I miss Kreuzer.
Still love Warnock but.

 

[koutamarto]

There was no need to go near Johnson as Gibbs was with him, although Gibbs did get sucked into the contest as well.

Think we need a fair bit of work both individually and as a team on late game situations both when we are in front and more importantly when we are behind...

Defensive sweepers is all we need. Its a poor setup. Selwood wouldnt be able to break away from a stoppage like that against sydney or Freo. The way Juddy played at West Coast made sure of that.

 

[FoeverBlues]

There is no reason we cant win this game and i really think we will get the 4 points. This is a massive week of celebrations for the club and i Believe the boys can get the job done. If they bring the intensity right from the get go then im going to really enjoy this week. Goodluck boys!

34 reasons at least mate

I hope Robbie goes through Cyril like a mack truck...

Why?

Any early trade winds?

Yep 3/4 of the list !

If Jammo and Henderson both come out ..... Watson goes in and ....???

I think we've actually run out of talls

If only we still had Bootsma

 

[AlecDuncan]

Typically we go to pieces the week after a "honourable" loss. Add late withdrawals of critical players and we'll get one ugly night. Just as well drinks will be served.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I just realised that we've won every game that Papa Homer has attended this year.
We've got this in the bag!

 

[Quazza]

I'm feeling Hawks in a close one, unfortunately

 

[Jatz]

We'll be fine. The lads will put in another good performance tonight. They've seen that when they're at their best, they aren't too far from being a very good side.

 

[deadoralive]

Why?

Rioli busted his shoulder with a chicken wing tackle that never got looked at by the afl tribunal. judd got pinged for it once, Rioli has given three or four chicken wing tackles, never been cited.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Can we please not wish injuries on people? It's a bit feral.

technically he didn't. "Hope he goes through him like a Mack Truck"

I'm sure the next sentence was "and Cyril bounces up to play the full 4 quarters"

Had to be in doubt after last weeks game.

Watson being named an emergency was also a worrying sign for me and you have probably just confirmed it Molly.
