FMD that's depressing reading, are you trying to boost the suicide rate?

That might be the only bad is better MC in AFL/VFL history!

Two farken cardboard cut outs would have been more useful than Gov and Haynes. As for Motlop, I would play one short to save the embarrassment.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Play both Jack and Kemp in the backline or play Kemp as a high half forward in Elijah Hollands role because he was a good conduit last year and dont have one this year.
Moir looked good at VFL praccy today but his determination to defend and win contests goes amiss. But looks extremely classy with ball in hand.

With Fantasia in you will be!

I doubt that.

I doubt that.
What level of Dawks type heat, which from what I can see is a step up on Nthmond heat, do you expect Fantasia to endure?



I'm hoping like hell he proves me wrong, but I'll play it safe and expect a pulled follicle in the race.

Doc to HB
Ollie to a wing
Persist with SOS down back and Kemp up fwd
Lord or Campo the sub
Id bring in White for Evans and start him...cant be any worse than Evans, Motlop or Fantasia, Id also play Lemmey instead of Young.
If we are moving deckchairs then id prefer some shiny new ones...
Id leave L. Campo on a wing and persist with him, I was a bit disappointed in his leg speed, the tiger cub Campbell I think it was burnt him off with the ball and he also made a few errors later in the game but I thought he showed promise and enough to suggest he will be a player.

McGovern is b0rked, that missed set shot post final siren did his head in, not sure who has been taking charge of pre-season finishing / goal kicking.

Harry looked lost, McGovern seemed so scared of having a shot he stayed 80m away from the arc.

I'll give the 1st gamer the benefit of the doubt, most burn all their tickets early.

When everybody was fresh and up and about early in the game he looked OK, it doesn't get faster than the 1st Qtr of Rnd 1 on a warm night.

I think he just ran out of legs from being hyper.

I would have rucked Harry and got him into the game and saved Cripps from having to ruck and work his ar$e off.
Cripps might have been handy resting at FF and maybe sneaking a goal or two and maybe both him and TDK down there with Harry rucking might have made the Tigers think a bit more and change what they were doing.
Harry wasnt terrible down forward but he wasnt great either playing on Blight and Miller and the delivery was the usual bomb it on his head and hope for the best rubbish.
Newman being out is a bigger loss than most think, he is efficient with the ball and adds a bit of calm. Haynes is the opposite imo, average by foot to the point he cant hit targets or kicks the ball too wide forcing teammates to have to find the ball and then getting trapped and the fumbling of Haynes both with his groundwork and marking is something you dont associate with Newman.

I reckon if Fantasia is fit, he will be in. Voss mentioned him in the presser.
He said we'll probably get Curnow back and "Fantasia might be back. We'll have to see how they trained"

What Haynes playing for us highlights is the way a bit of surrounding leg speed can cover all sorts of ills with dodgy disposals, and now he doesn't have that cover.

this is going to be horrific.

Dont believe me?  you don't watch football. Hawthorn have played 1 bad game since I want to say May of last year.  They play with a foundation of effort, and a system.  Their players arent amazing, but they make them look good. 

We have played about 3 good one since then and have probably turned up for a half in most of the others.

This is going to be terrible.

Ranking the teams from most wanting to play to do not want to play at all.....Hawks are #1 on the do not want to play list.

We don't match up well against them. Their strengths are our weaknesses.

We will not put in a good effort this week and unless Charlie kicked 8 and singlehandedly wins us the game.
