Rd 19: Post Game Intensive Analysis: Carlton vs Hawthorn

1700 on a Saturday afternoon and the game is over. Pity it is not in any way that I can see it.
The result is .......
Live Long and Prosper!

Apparently we are on top of the "ladder of gallantry" this season, another good showing against finalists.

Not too bad really.

We've come a fair way since this time last year.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

Casboult and weitering on one leg (did Weits even come back on?) last qtr didn't help.

Bit of luck would've been nice: if only SOS kicked that goal... or Cripps & Levi didn't spoil each other... or Levi's soccer didn't hit the post... if the umps had been a little bit fairer.

Gibbs 9 tackles
SOS a decent 7 disposal game
Cripps 11 clearances!! (Hawks had 22 in total)

If we can get a half-decent forward line we'd be hard to beat.

And yes honourable losses suck arse, but not as much as losing to GWS by 80+ points and posting your lowest score in 50 years! GWS got Ratten sacked, now they'll be getting Dimma sacked. Ironically his replacement may well be Ratten!

Not disgraced and some of the lesser lights like Buckley, Boekhorst, and White did OK.  Tuohy had a day out but a goal or two would have been nice.

We may have injury concerns with Weitering and Casboult.

Hawthorn just made fewer mistakes than us but we fought it out again, you can't doubt our commitment to the contest and each other but by gee we can butcher the ball as well as anyone.
Some winnable games coming up, 8 or 9 wins and I'd be happy enough with the year.

10 minutes of sloppy play to start the 3rd qtr is what really cost us the game.

A bit of silk and a forward line and wha's not to like? Not really taken a pot at the previous coach but his defences look a bit threadbare. The difference between a hungry one and others is plain as.

Gold Coast stamped Ratts' papers matey, not GWS.

And as for him ending up at Richmond, perish the thought. There's talk about him and the Lions, which is arguably worse.

 :( Buckley is no good for our future. Thinks he's a star, when he's not. He inevitably gets caught, makes rash decisions, turnover, goal. Yes he provides carry coming out, at speed, but gee my heart is in my throat every time he gets near it. That and the fact he can't tackle anyone of decent size because his parents had him on bread and milk while he was a teenager. Pass. Let's see if he gets a new contract.

Anyhoo, we are offensively impotent, and the greatest defense in the world won't help that.

Going inside forward 50 was our biggest let down. So many times guys pulled up on a kick inside and had passed instead and turned over. Graham going into F50 was probably the worst.
Everett started to try hard when the game was over.
Cas spent a lot of time running the boundary.

Hodge did pretty much nothing all day but ice th cake. Should have only been a 2 goal loss and a winnable game.

Not at all too disappointed.

Go blues!!

He might as well have said that if they had another half dozen serious footballers they'd be OK, he was just pissing in our pocket.
Burgoyne killed us and we were lucky Gunston didn't have his kicking boots on for once, there's still a wide gulf between us and the best and we can't bridge it by busting our guts.
We need some genuine skill ASAP.
