Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs Hawthorn in Launceston

[Thryleon]

Let's not rewrite history - it was 30 points at 3/4 time - the game was dusted. And that margin flattered the Hawks quite frankly.

Sure, they kept coming - that is their hallmark - but the Cats' had it easily covered.....

I disagree. With roughly 12 mins to go, the game was in the balance.  We are talking a less than 3 goal game for an eventual 22 point victory.

They still kicked 90 points, and we have only gone over 90 points 3 times in the last few years.

The cats are solid across the park, and have premiership players everywhere.  By contrast the young Hawks were in the game without 4 of their top liners playing.

It wasnt until Dangerfield scored to extend their lead again that the game was over.
