R23 Hawthorn v Carlton: Pregame Chatter

[RiverRat]

Hawthorn would be worried about this game.
They wouldn't want any injuries going into the finals.

They seem unlikely to get roughed up by our team of nice guys who won't chase and can't tackle.

The biggest danger to their physical well-being is the possibility that they run into each other while trying to be unsociable to our players - something to hope for?

RiverRat, they could pull a major hammy running too hard also. They could also be rubbed out fo rough conduct. Sling tackles, high impact etc.

I'd like to see Holman this week.

Boekhorst reminds me of a young Simon Tregenza... maybe chasing Hartung and Brad Hill and Smith around for a game might give him a clue where he needs to be at for next year.

I'd make Boekhorst tag Smith for the whole game.

Our skills are terrible. In fact, Carrazo whom he will replace, was the turnover king at Carlton,

Carlton legend, one of the best and most consistent of the last decade. You only see what you want to see BN.

That would be even funnier if it wasn't so true ... Sadly

Even sadder is the fact that when I suggested the Hawks might be "worried about this game because of injury", the thought that they might be injured by aggressive play from a Carlton player never even entered my head.

I was thinking along the lines of accidental knocks or as Mantis suggested hamstrings etc

carrots had poor to average disposal at times - he was never elite like geelong where he came from

He was elite for a decent patch - the season before that Essendon low life (Lonergan?) pile drove him into the turf.

From memory he was leading most awards at that stage (even if early in the season).

we see things differently - after watching all games live over the years - that's my opinion ---simpson is the same

He was an average kick over a long distance so he played within his limitations and was a star for us. Always performed in finals. His 13 possie third quarter against Sydney in combo with Judd to get us back into the game in the 2010 Elim Final was amazing. Used to do all this whilst stopping the oppositions best midfielder. Just an absolute gun footballer.
