Re: Round 17 Carlton vs Hawthorn Pre Game Pontifications

Like the prospect of Yarran forward, but he could go missing quite badly. Our desperate need for good ball use across half back has meant some have played there when they perhaps seem more naturally a forward.
Difficulty with playing hawthorn is that they dont play a conventional forward set up. Their only true KP is roughhead and he often roams about. Henderson might have a hard time keeping up with him. Given our team balance henderson will probably stay forward, as how can we play rowe, jamison and henderson back?
Really lacking run at the moment, so we are going to have to work very hard to match it with a team that combines standout skills with an ability to maintain structure better than any. Hopefully we can shut them down, and keeping them to a low score is probably a major aim, even more so than actually scoring ourselves. Its not like we can hope to match them in a shoot out in any case
Congratulations to the club for a good promotion this week. Taking us back to 1995 with old food prices is smart marketing ( hate to imagine the cost though!). Well done.
Yep, credit given where it is due.
