AFL Rd 22 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn - crashlander - 08-10-2024
This time last year, we conquered Melbourne on our way to the PF.

Good game by chugger.
The rest, meh.
At least there leaves no doubt that Martin, and other constantly injured players need to be sacked.
In a positive note, a -49.5 line at the half for $4.80 was an absolute gift.

Speechless. Gobsmacked.
Injuries have fkd our team this year. Has any othe team had the number of injuries and recurrent injuries to players than ours?
Something crook in tootgarook.
The skills on display today were putrid. The tackling was pathetic. The leadership was non existent.
An all round FAIL.

Horrible, horrible end to the year. Can't help but think this all started when they made Hewett the sub around 6 weeks ago and subsequently dropped him for the GWS game while playing underdone type like Cottrell and Cerra. Bad decisions. Injuries and form then took over and we were down the slippery slope from there.
We just keep finding new ways to disappoint.

5 years out of the last 6 we have utterly capitulated in the last part of the season. Each one of those years we have been crippled by injury. Each one of those years Russell has been there.
Even in 2020/21we were a chance at making the 8 five games out and capitulated. 2022 capitulated and lost our last 4, this year, 2nd premiership favourites, or close to, capitulated and lost 5 from the last 6.
At least, finally, we will be forced to play Binns, Lord, etc, rather than picking half fit, out of form players. We might actually find something we could have used week ago.

Hawthorn had better connection obviously - stable team does wonders - Vossy has been searching for that all year.

It’s not just injuries
Our list lacks athleticism/power and pace.
Key defensive stocks shot, 5-10 players completely overpaid and injury prone and we lack ticker.
Voss gameplan was cut to ribbons by a far better coach.
Miles off I’m afraid
All on the trading block to clean this up

Frauds. Apart from last year fails when it matters at the pointy end and why i just cant trust this club regardless how good we look at certain stages of the year. Beaten well by a team in the first few years of their rebuild says more then anything. And to be the outsider to them pre game is so frustrating as a long blues suffering supporter.
Only just beaten north in the last 6 weeks. Cant blame injuries for that. Just not good enough for long enough. List is way too slow and we need some ballsy big name changes in the off season to improve. Leaving things as they are will leave us again mid table in 2025.
Our list as it stands is not even close to getting it done folks.
Re: AFL Rd 22 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn - Baggers - 08-11-2024
Bitterly disappointed, but not surprised. Been brewing for months... perhaps longer.
Papered over cracks - fully exposed. And there are plenty of cracks.
Even before the injuries you could see that they were all over us. Then we dished up our usual 2nd qtr. Above the shoulders, just not mentally tough or united. Too much left to too few. Confused, 2nd guessing and other symptoms of a side lacking confidence. Sheesh, so much wrong.
The please explains should start with the head of football.
Be interesting to see how we put a positive spin on this one!
