Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 20 2024 In Game Angst Carlton vs Port Adelaide
Too many key players out - our guns didnt have the guns around them to gun it.

Anyway - got beaten on every metric very convincingly in the end.

Jack Silvagni would have been very handy today so would Doc, and H and King and Blakeres, Even Zac in the forward half.

Very disappointing but too many VFL type players on the ground.

Quote from: Lods on
Kemp has stalled in his development. Try him forward.

He has?

His intercept game has improved. Made some blunders against the Dogs - needs to improve his disposal efficiency in the back half and contested posession wins. Marchy has him covered here but very harsh on Kempy... but needs to clean up that disposal in the back half 66% efficiency and having the ball 15-20 times per game is hurting us. Developing nicely imo.

We seem to have the draw from hell.
Recently played all top eight sides some undefeated with a long injury list and now past two games we have played teams that are fighting for survival. This time of year you prefer to play teams in top eight that are slightly complacent than teams fighting to get into the eight as their hunger will always be higher.

TDK is the best ruck I have seen playing for us since Justin Madden.

If anyone wants to build a spine then SOS is one hell of a spine builder when it comes to mids and smalls he is one hell of a dud.

But TDK must be solo ruck as it allows the lads to run out games and cover spaces on the spread better not to mention better efficiency in the coal face.

No slight on Pitto but he has always been VFL standard. He hasn't improved since 2018.. good bloke and blah blah but is a back up and thats it. Vossys game plan requires a crap load of physical intensity and despite Pitto being a strong bloke - thats about all where it stands for him. If we want hit outs then get an 8ft dope for $20k per year out of the USA that can tap the ball all day and do nothing else.

Pitto dominated the ruck against GWS but really Keefe is no where near it
I thought our best defender was Lewis Young - but Marchy is more a like for like but not sure that VFL game was one of his best in fact rewarding players for bad VFL form doesn't send a good message especially for the likes of Motlop that played pretty well and has for a couple of weeks now.
