Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs. Hawthorn

[PaulP]

It's a funny old thread this.

I think we all have our own perceptions on what happened out there today and are pretty much sticking by them.
Maybe a day or two's reflection will change that,

What I saw


We were as good in the first half as we were last week.
After half time the Hawks raised there level of intensity and pressure and basically out-muscled us.
We suffered some significant injuries that really hurt our structure especially in defence…. which looked as unsure as it has at any time this season.
'Capitulation' has been used a couple of times....I didn't see that,
We surrendered a lead...but I don't think we ever capitulated.
In fact having weathered the onslaught and surrendered the lead we fought back to even up the contest and in fact it was the Hawks who were looking a bit fragile at the finish....I don't like to use the "what might have been" but the reality is that had the siren gone a couple of seconds later Harry could have been lining up to win the game.

This thread would be completely different.

Nice post lods. But the Bolton haters would still not be happy. They would complain that a 1 point win isn't good enough, that the players made Bolton look better than he is, that we should never surrender such a big lead etc.
