Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 18 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn
Last post by Shakin77 -
Sort of thought that while the Hawks were the better side, we played ok up until 6 minutes to go in the 3rd.

The Ginnivan goal, the free to Gunstan for high contact after he fell and finally the Ison error with 6 minutes to go with his kick missing Walsh took all the air out of the game.   2 or 3 inside 50 entries resulted in a Hawthorn uncontested marks, which given the conditions was a poor outcome.

Credit to Hawthorn.   They own us in recent times

Does anyone think we can beat Collingwood?
North nearly did as did the GC. 6 and 4pts. GC  couldn't beat time with a stick right now.

We should have beat them last time. We play with essentially 17 on the  ground given Elijah Hollands issues, lead all game, usual last qtr crash back then, then found a bit only to lose with a kick after the siren. Don't overrate Collingwood.

IF we display the form prior to the Richmond game, we win.

Kemp isnt a reliable set shot kick for goal and will never make a good full forward on that basis imho.


Is he any worse than Harry?
I'm not saying Kemp is a star but it s not the situation that if you're not elite you're on the cracked sacked list.
About on par with Harry and that's the problem, McGoverns a better set shot than both of them and he is a bandaid.
Good teams have the forwards who kick straight, Kemp is going at 46% accuracy this season. We need Gunston and Morris types who you can rely on to convert. I always hear we could have won that game if we kicked straight.
