Game Chat – Carlton v Hawthorn

Written by Motts on July 31 2020

Where and when: Optus Stadium, Friday 31st July at 5:40pm (AEST)

Last time they met: Rd 6, 2019: Hawthorn 13.15 (93) DEF Carlton 13.10 (88) in Launceston.

What it means for Carlton: For Carlton to be considered a premiership threat, they need to put struggling opponents like Hawthorn away and by margin.

What it means for Hawthorn: The Hawks are under siege at the moment, a win would go some of the way to releasing the pressure value.

Motts Watch: Carlton got out to a huge lead in this game last year only to get pegged back and eventually overrun. I’ll be looking for the Bluebaggers to build another early lead and then keep the foot on the throat for the rest of the match.

Mottsy’s Tip: Carlton by 20.

  1. Hope we (Hawks) get up.

    Some major ins, Breust does so much structural wise for us up forward.

    Win or lose can’t wait to see Jars running around again.

  2. Resigning myself to Titch getting shackled by Curnow. Lowering expectations, should make the game more enjoyable to watch. Also got Sicily, Cripps and Doch.

    SC aside, a must win for the Blues if they want to play finals. Will be interesting

    1. mitchell is struggling to cope with his recovering leg on the harder ground i recon ,
      had little impact on the actual games @ center bounces & around the ground since he left melbourne
      still good enough to rack up fair SC scores though

  3. Just want Cripps to be given the chance to play and finish a game injury free. He is brutalised every week it’s not fair

  4. Field Williamson or Starcevich, unable to loophole with rivers having already played.

    TU – Williamson
    TD – Starcevich

  5. Every time they pan to Clarkson in the box he just looks like a disappointment dad lol. Hawks playing like it’s amateur hour rn.

    1. honestly don’t think that hawthorn would loose too much sleep @ the end of the year
      their poor form , playing for the corona cup , will be just a glitch in their dynasty
      as the fixture is so heavily stacked towards WA & QLD teams that it brings lesser teams into rare flag calculations like suns & freo etc
      makes a nice change from the usual status quo
      be good to see freo win their 1st flag this year

      1. Freo are more likely a bottom 4 side this year. Got some good young talent though for the future.

  6. Commentators believe Shiels is playing a soft tag on Cripps
    Saying that it hasn’t had any effect on Cripps with 7 disposals halfway through the 1st quarter

  7. Stephen Hill is expected to return in Round 11 on the lastest herald sun supercoach article

    TU: trade him out for rookie
    TD: Hold bench him

  8. Carn hawks need to see more of this speedy ball movement. Maybe am biased today but some questionable decisions going against hawks. 9-2 free kick at qtr time…

  10. only just getting to watch now … is D0cherty being scored harshly or actually butchering his disposals? he has second highest disposals for the blues but showing 4 clangers?

      1. thanks for replies gents … must be because they have recorded him as 4 clangers … one was the free kick but was just wondering if the other three were genuine bad kicks etc … he’s been going badly last few weeks …

  12. Sicily and Doc both on 29 points at half.
    Sicily only with 5 disposals and Doc with 10 but 40% efficiency.
    Need them to pick it up in this 2nd half

  13. This is one of Siss’ worst games. I hate him so much but I guess I should learn not pick him. Hopefully they put him forward

  17. Yeww, big win by the boys to relieve some pressure. Great to see impey back and having a real go. Great stuff to make up for my poor start to this fantasy round with cripps titch rewarding my loyalty alongside with wingard and sicdog and doc. Just hoping Neale and Lyons can keep it up
