Rd 22: Post Game Peace? Carlton vs Hawthorn

[flyboy77]

My wife is a hawthorn fan and in our 11 years it has been one sided. We even had to split the kids in terms of who barracks for who.

I always thought that when Carlton finally won I would watch it over and over. Not so certain about that one. It was hardly a win for the ages, and looked every part the round 22 dead rubber it was.

But grand to win and sing the song.

The ruck duel was excellent with both at the top of their game. It was the highest quality aspect of the match.

Docherty, Murphy, Jones, weitering were the best for mine. We fumbled plenty and looked a bit confused at times as we looked at times to go forward and preferred to kick sideways.

Still, we scratched out a score. Lamb looked like he belonged and wright is our most creative forward.

Sicily gave away 7 frees, helping us out plenty. Hodge too played like a man with one foot out the door.

And we are in 15th, rocketing up the ladder. Great to win

It was far from a dead rubber, Hawks had plenty to play for. Makes the win even more noteworthy!
