Rd 19: Post Game Intensive Analysis: Carlton vs Hawthorn

[crashlander]

1700 on a Saturday afternoon and the game is over. Pity it is not in any way that I can see it.
The result is .......

[Shonkytonks]

Apparently we are on top of the "ladder of gallantry" this season, another good showing against finalists.

Not too bad really.

We've come a fair way since this time last year.

[Zed]

Casboult and weitering on one leg (did Weits even come back on?) last qtr didn't help.

Bit of luck would've been nice: if only SOS kicked that goal... or Cripps & Levi didn't spoil each other... or Levi's soccer didn't hit the post... if the umps had been a little bit fairer.

Gibbs 9 tackles
SOS a decent 7 disposal game
Cripps 11 clearances!! (Hawks had 22 in total)

If we can get a half-decent forward line we'd be hard to beat.

And yes honourable losses suck arse, but not as much as losing to GWS by 80+ points and posting your lowest score in 50 years! GWS got Ratten sacked, now they'll be getting Dimma sacked. Ironically his replacement may well be Ratten!

[DJC]

Not disgraced and some of the lesser lights like Buckley, Boekhorst, and White did OK.  Tuohy had a day out but a goal or two would have been nice.

We may have injury concerns with Weitering and Casboult.

Hawthorn just made fewer mistakes than us but we fought it out again, you can't doubt our commitment to the contest and each other but by gee we can butcher the ball as well as anyone.
Some winnable games coming up, 8 or 9 wins and I'd be happy enough with the year.

[Zed]

10 minutes of sloppy play to start the 3rd qtr is what really cost us the game.

[Swan43]

A bit of silk and a forward line and wha's not to like? Not really taken a pot at the previous coach but his defences look a bit threadbare. The difference between a hungry one and others is plain as.

Gold Coast stamped Ratts' papers matey, not GWS.

And as for him ending up at Richmond, perish the thought. There's talk about him and the Lions, which is arguably worse.
