We'll lose by 60. Guarantee it.

 

[SM]

Too soon.

Last year seemed to always stuff tipping. This year it'll stuff me by backing you.

 

[RPCB]

We'll lose by 60. Guarantee it.

If we lead by 60 at any stage tonight, we might end up losing by 60 points. We do our best losing with 6+ goal leads.

 

[Jatz]

Hawthorn's strength is our biggest weakness (speed). The wet will help us immensely but they're still miles better than us.

 

[SM]

McKay dropped.

McKay dropped.

We don’t pay McKay the big bucks to play in the rain…

After Young and Haynes, I can’t wait to see the next Temu defender Nick Austin recruits.

Young is atrocious.

 

[RPCB]

Both sides lost the absolute plot in the last 2 minutes lol.

 

[RPCB]

Can’t expect to kick a winning score without Harry and Charlie playing.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Can’t expect to kick a winning score.

FTFY

Misery loves company. Hence why you’ve replied.

I’ve had a night to sleep on it and now I am thinking with a bit more clarity. So with that said, what’s Ken Hinkley up to next year?

 

[Jatz]

Completely expected. Wasn't the flogging I thought would happen but knew we'd never win it.

Think that's a bit revisionist, you were right in it but some Arc decisions went against you at the worst times. Motlops goal counts and Hawks don't immediately kick one and it's an 11 point swing and you have a game high lead.

You certainly looked a lot better/more mobile with silvagni up forward instead of McKay.

I don’t know if something was ailing Charlie Curnow last night, but he just wasn’t there at all. Such a disappointing game from him. JSOS, for all his limitations, has certainly built a decent career for himself. Always tries his hardest for the team.

This side needs better I50 entires. 9-15 and 8-12 in back to back weeks won’t win you many games.

You sound like Vossy haha. Just some 'moments' etc.

Silvagni will be back in defence with McKay back in last week. Sheer stupidity to drop a tall and then add another tall in anyway.

Just on Jack, it is completely pointless playing him forward if he can't kick straight. 1.3 last night isn't good enough.

You disagree that the Arc calls had a big impact on your momentum/chances in the game? Interesting take I guess.

Thought Silvagni looked more mobile and dangerous stretching the Hawks defence particularly in the first half. If you're judging him on accuracy McKay will never make it back into the side.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Was a closer game than I thought it would be & Carlton played a lot better but at no point did it feel like Hawks would lose imo, had all the answers and just owned the big moments.

That Lewis Young had an absolute stinker

I think the only moment I thought Blues were going to win it was after that Motlop goal, so when it was taken away AND Hawks kicked one straight off the kick in, felt like that was their chance gone.

Were they incorrect calls? They all seemed right to me.

I'm a big fan of Jack. Bit of a jack of all trades, master of none. Can fill holes anywhere but I don't think we'd want to be consistently relying on him moving forward.

I have absolutely no idea why he came in. Wet night, we drop a tall...and then replace him with a more useless tall that upset team balance.

Brain dead match selection.

Sam Docherty was selected in an Elimination Final after doing his ACL in Round 0 and being out all year. Are you surprised?

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

What’s the % for Voss out amongst Carlton fans? 2 wins from his last 13 games or so dating back to last season isn’t very good.

I don't think I suggested they were incorrect, just that the millimetres in it that led to an 11 point swing had a big impact.
