We should beat Hawthorn and beat them fairly well if we are progressing, to lose to them like we have in the past or just fall over the line would be disappointing . They have a decent onball division but not much else...Blues by 5-6 goals.

Teague in his presser today talked about a book he is reading which talks about "light bulb moments", they are all waiting for ours (ie where it pops and things happen). Careful Teaguey, there are many at Carlton who are all about conservation of energy and are very quick to turn lights off when they are left on for too long.

Here are the scenarios.
1. We lose. Bar 10 players going off injured, and playing men short, in that scenario Teague is under mammoth pressure for the rest of the year as the cracks really start to split into chasms at the club, we end up in dissaray, and he eventually runs out of time, and chances. This is our worst case scenario.
2. We win, just. The teague train is more little engine that could at the moment, and a so so win would simply be more of the same neither here nor there. This is being truthful, our most likely scenario.
3. We belt the living crap out of the hawks. Make a statement that the Teague Train is finally getting going this season, with a statement performance from a few players led by captain Cripps. As much as I would like this scenario, it seems unlikely.
With Clarkson in the box, it remains a danger game. We need a win, and not just a win, a good win but we seem a bit fragile, and I just cant see it happening. I dont think we will lose, but its more of the same from us, and that just leaves us plodding a long for now, which is about right for our team given the infirmary list. Hopefully Setterfield, cripps and williams all make a statement this week, because he and we desperately need them to find some form, and some belief.
