Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 10 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney
Last post by Professer E -Even if you can't get a kick, you can still lay tackles and put on blocks. Don't just stand there DO SOMETHING
I love your enthusiasm, but if Fantasia comes in and has another 25pt rating game it's over for him the moment other players get fit.
If we are going to carry a player getting single digit disposals and having little game influence, it may as well be a longer term project. That's just how I see it.
Generally, you have some senior types around the club on the fringes, it is so they can come in and do a job having an immediate impact without the need to learn the ropes. As horrible as this sounds, we got more out of Tutt, Lang, Smedts maybe even Clem Smith than we have out of Fantasia for a similar number of games.
I'd be happy either way regarding binns but truth be told he isn't vying with fantasia for the same role and binns doesn't bring afl experience to the table.I love your enthusiasm, but if Fantasia comes in and has another 25pt rating game it's over for him the moment other players get fit.
Player management doesn't allow that to happen anymore, the player managers want the talent given opportunities at senior level the moment they show potential.
I reckon Binns will be a ripper, perhaps the next Berkeley Cox … if he sharpens his elbows 🙂
I think that the cautious approach to his development is more likely to bear fruit.
No of course not, Robbie Flower was a champion. Only time will tell how good a footballer Binnsie becomes.
Merely making the point that lighter footballers can make the grade, if they are good enough. Someone has mentioned David Glascott (71kg). Mathew Lappin (77kg) known as "Skinny" also comes to mind. Young versions of these guys would be handy to day! :
