Preview So what if we do lose to a depleted Carltank?

Of course remembering that WCE got belted in the GF which puts us further away from success.

Yeah but I reckon we'd have done a better job than the WC.

We owed Hodge for earlier in the year. If we'd played the Hawks in that GF I wouldn't have been surprised to see Jack give up 6 weeks of 2016 to put Hodge out of the game. (Tho Hodge is a tough bugger so it mightn't have been easy.) Even without that they were still mentally rattled after that game in 2014.

That's why their tactics against us for years afterward involve trying to provoke a fight to take our minds off playing footy if we are playing well. Even happened last year with Burton and Mitchell vs Higgo and Goldy.
