Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 10 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney
He’s being defended on potential, same as Binns is being promoted…Again, who goes in is largely irrelevant, arguing about the "others" is deflection.
We must not keep rewarding blokes who are in and doing nothing, not a scratch from Fantasia, nought, zero, zilch, niente!

Cognitive ability is escaping you slightly. We've had about 10 passengers tonight, two of our best McKay and walsh have cost us dearly, TDK's not getting near the footy, our defense is under siege, our key forwards aren't kicking goals and binns for fantasia is what you're focussing on?If only the disappointment was just this one game, but Fantasia is properly cooked, I can't understand why he is being defended.
Did you see his one effort at afl level? He's not ready yet.
Talking about the others is just deflection, this bloke Fantasia has underperformed to the point of having zero impact in every game he has played in 2024. So the point of developing someone is quite valid, they won't be worse.

Time to play guys who earn their spot.That won't be Fantasia then.
Fantasia has become so lightweight if BT swallowed him whole BT would probably lose weight!

binns isn't a tackle machine eitherFantasia been in the AFL system at 3 clubs for 10 years, Binns has 1 game 1 year under his belt!
Fantasia is embarrassing himself.

Fantasia Fantasia Bla bla broken record. He has been better than Durdin.One is a ten year 3 club player, the other is 22 in his 4th season, they have similarly poor output tonight, one should be hanging his head in shame.

InsaneBoyd gets penalised, 30s later a Swan does the very same to Walsh and it's play on.

It's a marathon not a sprint. Binns ain't the second coming of Eddie betts. Come finals time if orazio gets up and running he'll be a difference maker. Binns is on L plates. He isn't Sam Walsh, he's in his second year and I'd rather we get orazio up to pace and see if it works. We aren't flushed for outside run either way so they should both be in the mix.We cannot have Fantasia, Durdin, Ollie Hollands all in the one side, we are carrying too many non-physical types which leaves us too easy to play against.

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.
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.

Marchbank not a bad option given they have McDonald, Amartey and McLean up forward. But based on history, he'll likely go down with an injury first game back too.Could you run someone like Marchbank or Kemp as a defensive forward hard tagging Blakey?
I think stop Blakey's run and you smash Sydney's ball movement, he's the trigger for a huge percentage of the Swans attacking plays.

Hewett will take Cerra's spot. Marchbank for Cowan. Fantasia for Martin.Hewett was already in last game so he's not really a sub, he is just part of the rotation.
Carroll or Williams for Cottrell. One will be sub.
Fantasia isn't anywhere near as capable overhead as Martin, and Martin crashes contests with gusto. Marchbank or Kemp could easily take a wing, but so could Fantasia get him into some open space as a receiver, get him involved in the game.
Could be some rain and if there is I suspect a late change.

If they four coming in a fit, and if Pitto is right to go, then the side looks better than I had feared.
Time for Orazio to stand up in Cottrell's absence.
Elijah might get a bit more midfield time in Cerra's absence, I think it will be a closer game than sceptics imagine.

Mitch McGovern played 22 games last season.McGovern was tunnelled twice in his return game, landing heavily on his lower back / gluteus on one occasion and getting a mild corky in the other. If he was a Handbagger I wonder what Scott would have to say?
I'd like to remind fans that our return to form late last season basically aligned with the return of Martin, was that cause or coincidence?
