I watched a very good game of football last night between Hawthorn and Carlton.
A fast quality game, and for a wet night, a pretty highly skilled game.
The Hawks took all that Carlton threw at them,but then slowly wore the Blues down.
Gee though no fan of Cripps, what would Carlton be without him!!He shoulders most of the hard work. He plays the game like he is the only one that can get them over the line. And in most cases he is right.Where are all those that are on good money.Where is his support.Weitering is a very good player and does his share of the lifting. TDK is an exceptional player and also does his share.Adam Saad, though quiet last night, I thought so any way, also gives his all.
But.... where are the others?I know for Curnow, it was a first up. But he looked very much under done.
The Hawks have a very young vibrant team. A team of skilled little fellas.They have matured from their childish arrogant group, to a very highly cohesive group.
Watsn is very impressive. Small by skilful and courageous.Their skipper. Sicily is a much better than avergae player. He certainly leads the team from the front. I have been a fan of Jai Newcombe since I first saw him play with his long locks.He is skilled, tough, aggressive and footy smart.
And how, just how did Essendon allow Massimo D'Ambrosio escape?
They area team.They work for each other and they bseem to have locked their egoes away this year.
They will shake the competition again this eason.
