AFL Rd 18 2026 Pre Game Predictions Carlton vs Hawthorn at MCG

We haven't played well against Hawthorn for some time. I'd like to give them a reality check.

Next Saturday night at 19:35 at the MCG.
Live Long and Prosper!

We were a bit off the boil last night.
But hopefully we are a bit more focussed on this game.
They'll be looking for a big win after such a poor first half yesterday.

The reality is though that the current winning streak is probably unsustainable and the opposition jumps up a notch over the next few weeks.
I expect a loss here, but I'd like to see us have a good crack anyway.

It's reality.  Good enough to beat the sides below us, but not the sides above us.  Middle of the road.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

That is my feeling at the moment and we’ll get fewer opportunities against the good teams which we can’t afford to keep burning. This game will give us a much better idea of where we’re at, no Dean or Weitering and Young out due to concussion protocols will be a major issue, hopefully Dean comes back. Our ruck/midfield lowers their colours last night, they’ll need a much better game next week.
The Ox is slow but I'm running out of patience.
