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

[ElwoodBlues1]

One that got away after a great start, its hard to win a game when the opposing teams best mid had 40 plus with a lot of contested wins. It wasnt rocket science that Omeara
was the man to stop and after Mitchell did the same to us last season and you have to question the tactics. Ed Curnow went onto Omeara about half way through the last quarter
but the horse had bolted.
Kruezer tired and McEvoy seemed to get on top in that 3rd quarter and the Hawks won the ball out of the middle...their good experienced players also lifted, Bruest, Poppy, Shiels, Wingard, Smith all started getting the ball and we just couldnt get the ball it was that simple.

Also those two big marks the Hawks took in the backline were huge, we didnt contest properly, just had to get the ball to ground in those last 5 mins but our talls didnt compete.

Not the end of the world though and we need to hit back and beat North, we should start warm favorites and I'd be including Williamson and Stocker for Newman and Simpson who look injured.

When you lose by a kick in an arm wrestle, you can wear it. But when you own the game and, again, surrender when real pressure is applied there is something amiss. As MM mentioned in his article, this aint about average age and he's right.

For those who argue we could be 3 and 3, I would suggest we could also be winless had the Dishlickers not made so many mistakes and persisted with silly match-up. 1-5 is where we sit and we obviously deserve that. Reality.

Whatever was said to our blokes at half time effectively sucked the confidence and boldness out of them.

This loss (another honourable/brave loss) was worse than the GC loss. We allowed a turnaround of just under 7 goals.

Opposition sides now know to apply bona fide pressure and to change styles... we'll fold under the pressure and our coaching box will fail to adapt and adjust to the change in style.

Which means that an entire coaches box of people, plus Docherty, plus Walls, are missing the same things week after week after week, even though the experts on here can all see it.

So, so funny.

This is the INESCAPABLE truth.

PaulP. Walls isn’t working an active role for game day coaching.

Have a look at the game again and have a look at how many goals we gifted them from mistakes and turnovers in front of their goal (inside 25m). The Jones one was the worst, SPS's one was very bad also. Kicking across the face of goal killed us.
