R23 Hawthorn v Carlton: Pregame Chatter

[ElwoodBlues1]

9 disposals and a goal (better than 7 other players) in 1 1/2 quarters. Yep must have been terrible in a side getting beaten by 81 points.

x2 Walsh should be playing especially vs the Hawks where he will learn plenty....

[Mantis]

Walsh would learn more about the game, and we would learn more about him. Maybe this is the end of Ellard.

If I had a dollar for every time this forum screams for some kid to get a go and the silence that follows when they step up and are out of their depth.

Where is the harm in playing Walsh in place of Ellard...unless its a farewell game for the latter....
FWIW..I didnt think he was out of his depth last week....

[Lods]

Looks a pretty even contest on paper.
Unfortunately we're playing on grass.

They're not resting too many....looks like they're going to have a crack at the record.


On the positive side..... if we pull this one off, it's one we'll sing about around the campfires for decades to come

Reckon the Hawks will make a late change or two and rest a couple more.

I'm off to Fiji tomorrow, intending to blissfully ignore this game.

But if I was coaching I would line up 4 players to punch Gibson in the guts... one every quarter.

Ellard retiring. Fair enough giving him a sending off I have no issues with that now.

Actually, for the sake of a $1000 fine line up all 22 to do it...lol.

I can understand that. One of the weakest efforts from the Match Review Idiots was not suspending him. Very poor indeed. I would like to see him pay for his folly.

I can honestly say that having watched the game, he looked out of his depth and we played against a team that was no where near as good as Hawthorn.

Remember all the crap Malthouse copped for parking Whiley on Pendlebury (rightly or wrongly)?

Now we want to repeat that effort with Walsh, but its all of a sudden a good education....
