AFL Rd 2 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn

Another Thursday night. :( :(
I don't know if I can handle another game like that. We've played some bad football in the last 20+ years, but that effort against Richmond must approach the worst. A performance like that and we'll get pounded.
Live Long and Prosper!

To win we have to innovate in a way that suits our list, it's hard to see as our recent history more resembles a Lego type build than sudden rise from the ashes.

Well I've seen some horrid losses in my time during some real bleak periods in the history of the CFC but last nights jumped straight to the top of the tree by a long way. Losing to the wooden spooner with a team full of kids after being 41 points up takes the cake. Only the CFC could do that, 16 other teams would have smashed Rich last night. Its very sad to say but as the losses mount, EB was right and Voss will go.

I like Voss and want him to succeed but last night as you say was about as low and as bad we have been for ages and thats saying something. We are either going to hit back hard, smash Hawthorn and reignite the hopes of the fanbase or lose and set ourselves on a path of misery and depression for the rest of the season.
Players and coaches need to respond like a good proud club should....

As bad as last night was, equally unacceptable is fans above the race screaming obscenities and vulgar taunts at the players and staff. I thought we were better than that, clearly not.

Nah!
I don't cry over football
I'd  be a wreck if I did.
The level of disappointment is related to the level of expectation.
If you look at the pre-match I suggested the result was a possibility.
Disappointed, but not surprised.
I don't have a lot of faith in this side but...is the likelihood of us beating Hawthorn much different to Richmond beating us.

I think I read somewhere someone said our performances can be exciting or deplorable. Last night was simply the latter.
I dont think there's a Carlton supporter who didn't think at least once "we could lose this week".

The outs for me are clear cut. Haynes, Motlop, Evans.
Guys like Cottrell (absolutely shocking), McGovern (ditto), Williams & Fogarty, get another week to improve their output and because of course we never really drop more than 3 in a week. Have to hope those 4 mentioned can improve from horrific to average games next week.
I'm going to suggest something a bit unlikely but I'd move Acres to HB to cover for Haynes exclusion. A bit of robbing Peter to pay Paul but I really think the backline is our worst line and we need a bit of stability and effort. Ollie can go to the wing to cover Acres.
As far as replacing the 2 small forwards. Who cares. Whoever does anything in the magoos practice match today. Can only be an improvement as they can't be any worse.
