Carltons Hangover

[Frodo]

The Blues looked tired in their game against the Kangaroos today. It may be a hangover from the Wizard cup final..and they never had to travel.

I hope we don't suffer a hangover tomorrow.

Yeah, its not a good sign. But its not the end of the world if we lose. I think you'll find most home teams win in rd 1.

if you have a hangover 2 weeks later then there are problems. If they were tired it was probably more due to training too hard in the last 2 weeks than it being from the wizard cup IMO.

the distinct difference is that they won and we didnt.

they could have been over confident and believing their own hype.

that is why a lose in the GF wasnt all that bad. it would have woken the boys up and given them a shock.

I very much suspect that Carlton put a lot more into their wiz cup campaign than us.

Guys like Kerr, Sampi and Stenglein got pretty limited minutes in the final. I guess we wait and see which WCE side show up tm, but i think/hope that this round will give a good indication of the fact we were cruising a bit a fortnight ago.

Fevola is a sook - can't keep his head up when he's not getting the footy.

Well I thought I was wrong after we got blasted early on, and our players just seemed to have no run, not getting back to help the defence.

But they dug deep and proved me wrong in the end (although it was helpful when B Burton had to come off)
