Game Day Hawthorn v Carlton, 3.20pm

[Ned Ryerson]

Least we're not as s**t as North.

We'll be fighting for 8-12 spot on the ladder.

If we lose to Carlton we will not finish 8th. That’s crazy talk.

Clarko needs to take the bull by the horns here, what the hell happened from last week where we attack the game, backed in our blokes to run through the middle and create quick entries for our forwards? I haven’t even got words to describe how pathetic we’ve been.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Look on the bright side. We can’t possibly play worse.
Right.
Right?

Bullshit were faaarked

It really pisses me off that the forwards don't even contest the mark anymore, time and time again opposition just marks the ball under no pressure.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Don't care who comes in for them Gunston and Breust both have to be dropped. They couldn't look less interested if they tried

Need to give them some supply but yeah they look bad

 

[11sjw]

Gunner flies for a mark, doesn't take it and stops. Meanwhile his opponent lands, regains balance and gets on with it. Just little things like that just aren't there.

Gunno bringing out his inner Conor Nash today

 

[A Cut Above]

Dees must be relieved they get us next week

 

[Dave Id]

Meh. Carltank are tiring.

We are $4.10.

Won twice from here early in the season.

Carna Hawks!

Is this the knee jerk statement thread?

I did consider coming into this game that we'd be hard-pressed for a victory today. For all their losses this year, Carlton have played really well in patches. We've been alright but I think a few early wins were more just paper over the cracks.

You can't lose a player of Titch's calibre and not let it hurt you. JOM getting plenty of it but just needs to work on his disposal (was starting to do that towards the end of the half). The signs are promising for some of our younger players but there's a few cloggers that need to be put to rest end of the season I reckon. On the other hand, loving Scrimma. Reckon he'll be a gun in a couple of years, almost the perfect Birch replacement.

For all the overly negative nancies in this thread, we've had a damn good run! The good times can never last forever.

 

[Stranglers]

Postives: Only 31 points down and a half to go.

Negatives: We'd be lucky to score 31 points.

At the moment we look like it would be an achievement to score 31 points in a game, let alone a half.

 

[Off The Couch]

If Gunston is injured then he needs to be rested as it’s obvious we won’t be playing finals and we just aren’t doing him any favours continuing to play him.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Look on Rough’s face in the dressing rooms then was not remotely inspiring.

Forward line as dysfunctional as ever

Bottom 8 for sure

 

[Mercy Seat]

He needs to go then

Probably wasn't offered another contract at Collingwood for a reason.

Plenty of ex-forwards who could take the role I reckon, as opposed to a midfielder.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Clarko get back in the box FFS and coach. Stop sitting on the bench and acting like the good guy. Get back in the box and do what we pay you a fortune to do.

To suggest Clarkson is not doing what he is paid because he’s on the bench....wow.

 

[mickmaster]

Honestly if Cogs wants to come to us he needs Drug testing.

 

[dermott]

O’Meara is virtually playing Carlton on his own. Most of our guys should be ashamed of that half.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Wingard is seriously out of sorts. Looks depressed and uninterested. May take a little bit longer for him than expected to settle in.

His body language was terrible in the half time rooms just then. Very petulant.

 

[Smithdogmaddog]

another young talented quick team pulling our pants down, gold coast, saints, dogs & blues all done it recently.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Is this the knee jerk statement thread?

We’re sacking our assistants, trading Wingard back, sacking Stratton from the captaincy and telling Clarkson to “start doing what we pay you to do!”.....so yeah, this is the place.
