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

[Professer E]

Probably better balanced side.  Bookies, pundits,  scribes etc don't give us a big chance, we don't have a credits in the bank.

They have been playing Gunston down back for extra height and have included OBrien to play along with young Lewis down forward...
Danger with Hawks is Bruest, Poppy and Gunston if he plays down forward....we dont really have the right matchups for the first two and its been a ongoing problem.

Not worried so much about poppy - getting old not as quick as he was and comfortable with Newman taking him and simmo as back up.

Gunston that will be difficult match up and is dangerous shot at goal from any angle so need to watch him closely and really clog up space to limit opportunities

That flog Sicily also needs to have an opponent in our forward 50. Can’t bomb it in or he will take inception marks all day.

Would love to beat this mob

Hawks remain unchanged from the initial team announced the other day.

We have the only late change with Cuningham for curnow.

I dont want to lose anymore, last week felt good.
Anyone, anytime, anywhere, anyhow.
Go Blues.

Charlie hasn't come up.

Cuningham in.

The most unsurprising selection surprise in history.
