People fall for this every year, it's April - you do not want your club playing at their best.

Agree. Carlton won’t get any better and eventually a couple of wheels will fall off

I remember hearing this every week last year from my friends about us!

It’s not just about how well Carlton are playing, it’s the sheer amount of talent they have now.

Always helps when your talent is fit.
Curnow's been injured for 3-4yrs and Cripps the last 2.
Hope the seasons too long and they break down again.
I know too many Carlton supporting floggs.
Prefer it when they're quiet.

Backline is still suspect. No ruckman. 
Midfield and Forwards are elite. 

This has turned into a really good game. Hawks look to have bottomed out and are now on the rise whilst the Blues are still a work in progress, particularly at the back. 

Carlton have 1 good half of my footy per game. Keep them to within 4 goals and you can over run them in the 2nd half.

 

Here they come.

Same.
You don't win flags in April/May/June/July etc, etc till we won one in September.
Ha, ha ... Suck it fools.

As per Collingwood, this 1000% manic intensity of footy is totally unsustainable especially when you don’t have a defensive structure to hold onto a lead and shut a game down. 
Good lists are one thing. Good systems are another. Both Carlton and Pies need to adjust their system if they want to go deep in September

Melbourne 2018.

I still rate Carlton.

Big big missed holding the ball, lucky it was touched off the boot

I also rate Carlton. They have a list they can build something really good with and their draw is a complete joke so they should make the 8 comfortably. 
But until they sort out their defensive two way running work, and can sustain their attacking game style for 4 quarters, I will not be backing them in for a flag. 
As you said Melbourne 2018. Up, down, glitz and glamour attacking dazzle, and then a complete blow up against top sides and when the heat comes. 

Gee a good crowd 66,000

The old "Free Kick Hawthorn " is a thing of the past.

Two big clubs at 2-0 with a lot of bandwagoners. 

I hate both teams. But Williams HTB in the Hawks F50 was as blatant as they come with the new rule.

Hawks robbed. Glad it wasn’t us would have blown a gasket.

Proven again today.

What on earth are the blues happy about.? 4 h goals after 1/4 time.

Wtf.

 

To be going life and death with Doggies and Hawks so early in the season is not good news for the baggers, will slow down big time at the half way point of the season

I’ve spent the entire game in a chat, me and seven diehard Blues fans. I’m not sure but I think at least three hearts stopped. 😂

Edit: mine wasn’t one of them. ❤️💙

Cracking round of football so far with only North stinking it up. 

Shoot out under the dome it would seem

Blues gamed the medi sub rule as explicitly described by Curnow in post match.

AFL investigation needed here. Curnow out 1 week to 'recover '
