Re: AFL Rd 3 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn
Reply #12 –
Hawks won't be the easybeats we imagined. They're embarrassing Port Adelaide on their own dungheap.
Talking about ruckmen, Ned Reeves stands at 211 cm and 104 kg. He's young, 23, but the height advantage gives him a head start. McEvoy is now trying to play forward while Reeves takes the ruck.
Their midfield includes O'Meara, Mitchell & Worpel. They have a 197 cm tall midfielder from Ireland, Connor Nash, who has the speed and agility you'd expect from a Gaelic footballer. And they've added a high draft pick, Josh Ward, to their midfield.
Up forward, they have Gunston, Breust, Mitch Lewis & Chad Wingard. Down back, they have Sicily and CJ. CJ is ridiculously athletic and has dominated so far this season after an injury last year.
Just when we thought we could take it easy after the Tigers & Dogs ...
Well said.
Any thoughts that the Dawks would be easy beats has vanished. As I was watching the game I was fully expecting Port to wake up and run over their opposition... but the longer the game went the more authoritative the Dawks became, an emphatic and impressive win. And it was a 4 qtr effort.
Yep, we'll have to be at our best.
