Very nice work Vando. Do the Blues have a worthy stopper for Daysy or does he have the potential to run amok?There are a few alarm bells for our midfield after the Essendon game. Dons played an extra man at the stoppage in the first half which let us play a spare back and inflated their stats. But the second half they beat us man on man too. Bryan/Draper worked over Meek and TDK is a very good player. Very real chance their midfield gets on top with the extra days rest and a week of introspection. They’re still a reasonable side with a strong top end.
But…Carlton is much, much slower than Essendon. Crippa, Hewett, Cerra, Walsh all one-paced. After their mids win stoppage, there is very little defensive spread and intent to stop transition. And we obliterated Essendon through quick rebound. They also lack a lot of pressure up forward to put our skills under pressure. Motlop, Williams, Fogarty, Cottrell etc. don’t do it consistently.
Their defence is too tall. Weitering is a gun, and we will need to avoid him. Then they run McGovern/Silvagni/Haynes. Get Watson or CMac isolated on Haynes and they’re kicking 3 mininum. Their running defenders look great offensively but easily turn it over when the heat is on. They will struggle to stop our smalls from being transition options.
They’re going to be crying out for an underdone Charlie to be their saviour, who Weddle or Battle will run off at every chance. They also tend to bomb it long – a style which allowed us to take 25 intercepts against Sydney. Essendon avoided this at all costs, so do the Blues midfield have the skills to pull it off consistently?
I just don’t believe they have the tools to stop us due to their chosen style of play. However, we really cannot afford to have as poor a midfield performance as we did against Essendon. A fired-up Carlton can exploit it and it’s their best avenue to victory.

Don't mind this.Frost to start to replace Scrim, Morrison to sub. MacCabe to debut to help Chol
With you on this one, the coaches role has expanded and is now a lot more inclusive. Not being woke here,Sam has the respect of the players and they genuinely like him, he often credits his line coaches, the whole of Hawthorn from social media to list management to the players being a happy team. A coach is now more aligned with being a CEO, and Sam is nailing it. Wherever he takes us in the next 10-15 years will be an amazing ride, never felt so confident and keen on our future.Does anyone else feel like the impact of the head coach is becoming more and more important?
These days the difference in the quality of teams lists is pretty small (with all the equalisation policies) so that extra 10% you need to win comes from your man management, game plan and match day coaching.
Why would you put Serong in ahead of Frost?Maybe unpopular (maybe not), but I'd consider Serong AND Jiath for Scrim and Frost.
CJ replaces Scrim and Serong replaces Frost as the sub.
Unless Curnow is ready to return???
Why would you put Serong in ahead of Frost?
Yes.Cj for Scrim, Frost starting 22 with maybe Morrison to sub. They’ll want to play Gunston but not sure who he comes in for?? Possibly Frost?
Yeh I think the days of getting a "super list" like our 3 peat years are gone. Very difficult to get that much talent on a list with the amount of player movement and draft concessions.With you on this one, the coaches role has expanded and is now a lot more inclusive.

Agree with everything you've said but he also has a hard edge and demands high standards. The bottom line is that players absolutely love playing for him. Even West Coast players past and present continue to sing his praises for what he did as an assistant during their flag run.With you on this one, the coaches role has expanded and is now a lot more inclusive.
