2018 Rd 17: Pre Game Pessimism: Carlton vs Hawthorn

[Thryleon]

Cookie......That's why I said if we weren't so crap  ;D

I gave us no chance the last 2 weeks as both those teams in the past even when we fielded stronger sides troubled us with leg speed. Hawks are older and definitely slower.

If and its a massive IF Kreuzer plays the full game and Murphy gets some form back I reckon Cripps and Fish will give our forwards mainly Charlie a lot of chances. Plus there is no Silicy intercepting too which is a big loss for them.

Not a massive fan of Mitchell yes he gets it heaps but don't think he hurts teams like Smith, Shiels and O'meara. Need to put work into them.

Oh and if the MC is serious and don't select Garlett or Polson our chances in this one increase further.      S

Still despite all this im not overly confident but reckon we are a better chance then previous weeks as we are getting these pr1cks at a good time.

Polson isnt a good player but he gives us effort, which is better than what the others get to.

Garlett has the ability, and if you watched him pr-game on saturday night, he was slotting them from everywhere.

I also don't think we have too many fit bodies to bring in, so I don't see the logic of dropping him when all you're going to end up with is Nick Graham.

I think at this point, all you can do is reward players showing workrate if not impact (Polson) and put games into blokes with ability (Garlett) and reward triers who are doing the right things they get dropped and call this a culture setting year.

Screw playing to win.  We need to play to set our footy club up.
