Early odds show us and hawks at 1.90 each.

Not sure what we have to do to be the underdogs, but appears non-carlton people have more faith in carlton than actual carlton supporters.

for us to win this game we need to hit up our forwards and fwds need to apply pressure TACKLE this is were the game is won. If we go the usual blind long F......k.n bomb they will just spoil and counter attack with quick ball movement open hawks forward line easy goals. Do u think our coaches learned after dogs/port games how to prevent this from happening?

I think they will be too daring and quick for us. They are still a sniff to play finals and teams at the minute seem to relish playing, and heaping misery on, us. Season well and truly on the line, lets see what happens but I have zero confidence in our mob at the minute. We seem to fail at every challenge.

Aaron Hamill? We want answers.

Another coach we have who has never tasted success.
Should only choose coaches who know what it is like to win a flag.

Well, this Sunday is our first final.

Will we gel and find form like we did mid last year? Or will we fade away like we did at the end of 2022? Didn't it take a strong honesty session, players only, that brought about a dramatic shift in mindset and cohesion last year?

Concerned that Vossy declared minimal changes, wanting to consolidate a team for the remainder of the year. But what if that side has only delivered 1 win in many weeks? And doesn't that tell the players that their place in the side is safe? If you keep doing what you've always done, why wouldn't you get what you've always gotten?

Although it was only a minute or so of the Rottingwood post match address, this little black duck wasn't impressed with what he heard. Far from it. Seemed all sunshine and rainbows; seemed to be an effort to buoy and motivate a deflated group. As I mentioned it was only a soundbite... but it was very unconvincing, though very nice.

Game will be won/lost in the midfield and having a back up ruckman in Pit going against Meek is a major advantage for them. Pit got thrashed against Cameron last week and i think Meek will prove to be even harder. Their mid's bat deep and run hard and those sorts of mixes really trouble our midfield group. Not having Cottrell further compounds the issue of lack of outside run. On top of this their small dangerous forwards will trouble us as most smalls do.

Unless it buckets down on Sunday we are going to be up against it and likely finals hopes over come Sunday night.

HTF does it look like this bottom 4 team at the start of 2024 overtaken us.

Unbelievable!
