As he said the game got played on our terms and he didnt have the equipment to change that....Hawks are probably a class mid or two short........word from a few Hawk supporters last night was that dont count them out for Kelly/Hopper/Lever etc and something big is happening recruiting wise at the Hawks and they be offloading a few players to get their man/men...
Yes, I'm sure Clarkson knew well in advance our structures and set ups etc. I think he also knew what moves he had to pull to counter it. As we've said plenty of times about our list, at the moment, he just doesn't have the cattle.

Lamb made the effort to shake Sicilys hand at the end of the game and Sicily offered his hand while on the move but wouldnt look Lamb in the face.....
I reckon Callum Mills might be having a few nervous sleeps this week as he copped it from our blokes last time and seems a ideal candidate for Lambs attention this week.

I reckon the Swans are a completely different outfit to what they were earlier. They'll be ready for payback, and won't make the same mistake twice.

My bias is undeniable, no doubt. I thought our performance was one that had the club's 360° progress on display. It showed progress from getting the right players/staff in the door, to execution of the fine details in the greater and lesser plans. By that I mean "our rebuild v hawks game plan q by q".
Kudos to administration, coaches, recruiters, support staff, players and their respective supports (shout out to past players). We're showing the footy world our commitment to this rebuild. We're doing it planfully, lawfully, and gradually. Hopefully this results in a sustainable resurgence back to the great institution we once were. An increase in membership, sponsorship, and attractiveness as a destination club will follow naturally ^-^
Too much :
who cares.... I've got that winning feeling ^-^Go new Blues
Re: Rd 22: Post Game Peace? Carlton vs Hawthorn - LoveNavy - 08-20-2017
@EB Hawks are probably a class mid or two short........
Maybe so. We're lacking as much as any team in that department, and we're without Ed and Crippa... Yes Murphy and Gibbs are quality players, as are Mitchell, Hodge, possibly O'Meara. We were harder and more determined to execute our way from the first siren. That's why we won. End of navy rant ;D
PS. My sympathy goes to all those heartbroken Hawks fans. I can empathise.

Al-le-bloody-lieu-yah.
Just had that awful feeling in the first half when they seemed to be getting the rub of the green with the umps ... again. Including that ridiculous 50m penalty.
Hasn't been mentioned in this game's review but how good is Kruezer when the ball hits the turf?! For a big man he seldom gives away the frees that others can't seem to a avoid. Great discipline right there.
For those lamenting Simmo's alleged demise in form, how putrid has Hodge been this year? Definitely one season too many. Loved that we boo'ed him every time he got the ball - which wasn't much.
Pickett, excitement machine that he is, needs to settle down a bit and do away with the goose-stepping caper.
Murph - ok in the first half, magnificent in the second.
I'm wondering if our lacklustre efforts in the last few weeks can be attributed in part to the possibility that we were looking ahead to this match in particular. Maybe. Maybe not.
Daisy reminded me that he is a REAL footballer. Still torn as to whether I want him around next year though.

I can understand why: it hasn't always been a strength. However, his willingness to put his body on the line yesterday was excellent.
Similar for Gibbs: for all the negative roles he has had, many people see him as a floater. This even though he usually is in our top 2 tacklers number wise. Well, the last couple of seasons should see that tag disappear. His hardness and tackling were excellent against Hawthorn. And that Gibbs got early frees, because Hawthorn didn't like it, was well overdue. They tried to platter Gibbs, but he refused to be splattered. Then they tried to tag him out of existence and that didn't work out either.
Very pleased with these guys.

thanks to the boys for making us supporters proud last nightand for standing up to all media pressure .The only disappointment i have is our GAMEPLAN coaching staff have somehow get the LONGBOMB out of our system (playing).1 e,g last quarter we kept kicking the ball long onto the wings and hawks just kept winning the ball and pumping back. Anyway we won
Re: Rd 22: Post Game Peace? Carlton vs Hawthorn - Jeffy38 - 08-20-2017
This will sound odd but I'm wondering if Pickett may be the small defender we've been looking for.
I'm not sure he has the composure to play in the forward half, seems to panic a bit with ball in hand but he has a hard edge to his game which could work nicely for us.
Re: Rd 22: Post Game Peace? Carlton vs Hawthorn - rocky - 08-20-2017
Was going to attend this game but laziness got the better of me. Damn! After going to so many bloody losses in the past Serves me right.
Anyway great result and so unexpected. Plenty to like which has pretty well covered but for me Boekhorst's game was my highlight. Maybe panics at times when in possession but he is quick and he kicks the ball really really well and he kicks it a long way. Think he's saved his career at Carlton.
