Can't you let me feel like a football genius for a minute?

Nah, youre not a mod anymore. Back with us plebs now.

 

[Mercurial89]

People reckon hodge will go?

 

[monty1104]

People reckon hodge will go?

Hope not. Looked ok to me. Both were clearly going the ball.

 

[eth-dog]

Really want both sides to lose here

 

[djrossie16]

Really enjoyed that half of footy. Had a bit of everything.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

I'm really enjoying this contest. I don't have any interest in who wins though, so maybe that's enhancing my enjoyment of the match.

 

[sneakyjetta]

Is it me or does hawthorn play like we do at etihad? our short kicking game dosnt work as well at etihad compared to the g and we get troubled my fast sides

game is also showing that carlton are a decent side

can't resist those opium dens can you yaco

 

[Mercurial89]

Really looking forward to our game against hawks, would like to see how we measure up

 

[mad_monkey_j]

So Murphy is dead?

 

[Mercurial89]

As bad as the Murphy injury is, i really thought Hodge was going the ball.. Id like him to not get punished for that.

 

[monty1104]

If Hodge goes for this it is yet another case of punishing based on the result, not the action.

 

[eth-dog]

Kruezer is a poor ruckman. He's good below his knees, yes, but a ruckman's first job is to win hitouts. He does that once every 6 games

 

[Kong]

Carlton are getting F'd in the A by the umpires tonight.

 

[raro]

umpires are actually being ridiculous towards carlton

 

[eth-dog]

I don't care- every Carlton loss makes the world a better place

 

[Mercurial89]

I think everyone watching can see it, no matter what your feelings on carlton are. Between the free kicks and carltons own errors they were never going to win

 

[BrunoV]

He had to change the way they were playing they were figured out, he had get the team to evolve, there is a reason even mick malthouse has changed his "signature" game style at Carlton (1 doesn't have the cattle and 2 its not effective in today's footy)

Id argue that what he is doing is better than sitting around and doing nothing hoping it would get better. Then again you could argue that LT is meant to be player driven, not forced upon a group.
Just playing devils advocate, im not necessarily for or against leading teams but i am very much of the belief that the biggest thing in footy is mindset/attitude.


If LT helps create a premiership winning mindset then go for it. Best thing bucks is doing atm is being proactive, of course if he is forcing it on the players then that could cause more harm

With respect so much of what you've said, which mirrors a lot of what has been said, is circular and/or self-fulfilling and assumes that Malthouse would not have evolved (which is unlikely given that the experience at Carlton already confirms that he has).

To look at it a different way, is there really a need to do any of this or are they doing this because they have screwed up what they had which makes it all "necessary"?

 

[mad_monkey_j]

Yeah I don't want Carlton to win, but these free kicks are shocking.

 

[djrossie16]

Carlton are getting F'd in the A by the umpires tonight.

They are! Like stkilda west coast it is noticeably bad. But with their suspect finishing and Murphy going down the stars just didn't align for them tonight.

 

[BrunoV]

So do the football scribes blame Hawthorn's total lack of run in the first half on the presence of Bailey or did Hawthorn win because they players on the ground pulled their fingers out. I can see all the talk being about Hawthorn being too tall. Funnily enough their talls were the difference.

Yeah true, i guess there wouldn't be the need to do it if they hadn't have stuffed it up to begin with.
