Re: AFL Rd 6 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS Reply #75 – April 19, 2024, 02:31:43 pm I wouldnt call GWS tough...got a few players who dont like it rough and disappear when it is, no doubting their skills but id be making it as contested as possible and picking players who excel in that area.

Could very well be the case. And HOK definitely has something/the goods as a ruckman. Raw as heck but his 2nd and 3rd efforts are there for all to see. Agree his is probably named as an emergency as encouragement.Just watched the final qtr of the Croweaters game... coulda, shoulda won by about 4-5 goals but there was an element of cockiness/lairising which let the Croweaters in. Arrogantly, perhaps, I suspect this was a game we lost more than the opposition won. Quote Selected 2 Likes
