Preview Rnd 6 - Carlton v Hawthorn Sunday April 28th 3.20PM @ UTAS - Team Post #1331

[90N90S]

Can we repeat what we did last week?

 

[ESKIE]

Relax easy brothers. We will win.

Ok so shall the sisters stay uptight ?

 

[LanceRomance]

After watching the VFL yesterday, I'm now slightly concerned our Senior boys are going to be hungover from last week's win. Fingers crossed that's not the case

Fortunately for the seniors, yesterday should be a wake up call.

 

[Keyza]

Expect Walsh to get some "attention" today.

I'm hoping their poor performance will be a wake up call the Senior team needed without having to play a poor game themselves.

Let’s just not fall for Alistair Clarksons thuggery tactics and play uncompromising skilful footy!

Those scars belong to the supporters. The players and coaches havent lived through it like we have. It should not exist. Today is just a game and whatever happens is not because of the past.

It’s still pretty much the same playing group that over the past 2 years has played some of its absolute worst football in winnable games.

Last year, both wins were followed by losses of 100+ points, while our trip to Tassie led to an 86 point loss to a team that didn’t play finals in which we managed 4 goals total. 17 players from that team are there today - it’s the same players...

Curnow out officially, replaced by Cunners .

Carn Baggers , let's do this.

This game will really be an indicator of how much these guys have progressed over the last year or two.

 

[HARKER]

I really doubt they'll allow Cuningham to not play at any level this weekend

It seems that way and in particular after what AWG put forward.
CCurnow may not be slated to play, but what if two players had gastro this morning - He'd simply have to.

The CFC generally take two emergencies away when travelling. I'd say most teams would be prudent enough to do so.
Charlie may not be asked to play but if something went astray, would have no choice but to. i.e. CCurnow can't be too bad and will play next week.

EDIT:

Well there you go.
That ends the Polson/Cuningham debate for this week.

Perhaps, but decades was the thrust of the original post I replied to not two years. Also we have beaten them in recent times.

Where is announcement? I'm expecting it but can't find confirmation.

 

[Juddrockz]

Iamcarlton spot on! It’s working for freo at the moment although Levi is the weak link. If he is having an off day he is putrid and a liability

Levi needs to be out wrecking ball,exactly how Clarko would use him if he was in his team. Take out as many players as possible ala Clarko style!!

 

[Soapy V]

Really looking forward to this game. Great test for our young group.

Apparently Charlie was close but still sore yesterday so withdrew. Should be fine next week. Good luck to DC as I'm a huge fan.

Key will be our ability to compete for 4 quarters and be smart with the ball. Can we expect McKay & SPS to do what they did last week? Who else will step up?

I expect our defence to continue its great form. Midfield the key and the way we use it inside 50. Kruezer Cripps SPS Walsh Dow Fisher need good days

A loss won't be a disaster but a WIN we do us wonders.

Blues by 22 points

Unless we don't fight it out and end up getting pumped. If we can put in a solid four quarter performance and show that we won't be easily run over and end up losing by under two goals or so, then I agree.

No it's not, SPS, Harry, Fisher, Weitering all different players from last year. Throw in the new players = we win.

What is this twilight universe I'm living in.

I'm actually pleased by this news. How things can change in 12 months. Testament to how far Cuners has come this off season.

Any late outs for the Hawks that we know of?

 

[Jeffy38!]

5 new player compare to last year is significant. Considering what we let go and what we recruited. Gov, Walsh etc are good upgrades.

 

[Soapy V]

100%. plus our defence is better and we are more cohesive. Big difference. It's all about improvement and consistency

Game Day Bitches!

FYI I got a text this morning Charlie was out with soreness. Pulled out this morning. No comment who was in. I trust the source but haven't seen anything official yet

 

[manang magoos]

Amazing, he got away with two hits in one game. That's 3 reports on 6 weeks.

AFL looking after norf methinks.

Looking after anyone except the baggers ie:How did Howe get away with his sling tackle which I think was worse
then poor old Setters

 

[Benaly28]

Got a feeling Andrew Russell might play a big part in the outcome of this game.IP.
