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

[Gointocarlton]

nothing to do with it. We had capitulated....

in the second half which Simmo played none of.

Truth hurt?

It's 4 from 38. Doesn't matter what way you say it, that's what it is. Like me to make something up instead to make you feel better?

The point being, if people were clinically blind, they wouldn't be on here getting the constant reminder in the first place. You've just assumed that I'm happy with the current situation - far from it in actual fact.

And by the way, I don't recall directly quoting you to begin with, but nice to see you got triggered pretty damn quickly. Just saying  ;D

, a rouge umpiring decision less (just 1 or 2 of the arm chops against H for example),

This sh!ts me to tears - swans did it too, as well as tunnelling him under the ball and blocking him off the ball

The real chocolates were when we got a chopping the arms (maybe cas?) paid against us... just rediculous, given how many times they do it

Grrr, such a close one and real nailbiting in the last.  I hoped the umpires would make another mistake and let McKay's mark in the last second (after the siren) stand.

We lost alot of drive with Simpson ging down, and a few errors really killed us late.  Plowman's kick out of bounds and Jones' fumble and missed kick the two low lights. 

Still alot to like with some very inexperienced players.  Dow's burst and goal was great and the ball movement in the first half was excellent.  Hawthorn are a fine side, and while they are down a bit they have some outstanding leadership in Roughhead, Stratton, Bruest, Smith etc.  There is a reason why Roughhead went into the middle in the last minutes.  The loss of our small defenders allowed their small forwards back into the game.

Omera not being tagged seemed a problem, but any tag is robbing peter to pay paul.  Ed Curnow does give us a half forward option, albeit poor disposal, but its often a 50/50 proposition which is why tagging is not always done.  Thought Shiels was more damaging, along with Scully at big moments.   

Close but not quite.  Big improvements on last year and the wins will start to come.  We are a work in progress and lost by a kick to a prelim finalist from last year when we won 2 games.  Some of the hysteria on this board is a little unhinged.

GTC, did we - or didn't we - 'switch' to a zone defence from man on man at the start of Q3, irrespective of Simmo?

Hysteria ? Not here mate. Clear thinking as far as the eye can see.

Good post as always Viv.

FMD - 4 from 38 - who knew? Not as if we never get reminded every 5 minutes.

Agreed

I can’t believe actual CFC fans on here, who should know better, fall for the media pushing this crap.  Of course he is a bad record - they gutted the side 3 years ago and played a team that wasn’t supposed to win.  That was the plan... I guarantee the board doesn’t hold the first 2 years against him.

This years record is a concern, as I’m sure that better was expected by now

But stop sounding like Matthew fckn Lloyd and quoting the easy stat that is actually pretty meaningless

Bolton is wasting our time playing Ed as a small forward....talking about robbing Peter..... : : :-[ :-[

If you've got other suggestions, drop him a line. If only he'd consult CSC, he'd actually learn how to coach.
