Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 3 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne
Will Zac Fisher line up against us?From the Hun.
Was reasonable against GWS, gained nearly 500m running off the D50 side of centre.
Who would he stand, Owies, Cunningham, Fogarty?
The former Blue had 17 kicks against the Giants, but five of them resulted in a direct turnover.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2024 Practice Match Carlton vs Melbourne
https://www.theroar.com.au/afl/video/absolute-shocker-harry-mckay-outdoes-himself-as-set-shot-from-directly-in-front-goes-25-metres-off-target-1335272/From the Age, at least they are trying to fix it.
Farken how? Explain to me how? How many shots has he had from the position at the ground? How?
This step is a reason why McKay has hated watching vision of himself kicking, and may also explain why Blues fans are filled with trepidation when he lines up for goal. McKay believes this is the primary cause of his yips.
“I’ve got a little step just before I kick, which I’d always known I had, and I really hated watching myself kick because I knew I had a little step.
“With the data, you could see your momentum would build up, and then I’d take a little step and all your momentum would drop, and you’d try and chase it again.
“I’ve been doing that since I was basically a kid. Over the summer, I’ve been trying to undo that because it was killing my momentum.
“The consistency of your kick would be up and down depending on that step.”
The fault in his action was evident against Melbourne when he almost missed his boot with his ball drop and sprayed his shot out on the full from about 40 metres out directly in front.
“You try and get all that momentum you lost in the last step, your body twists, your leg comes across and you do all these things in order to get the momentum back you just lost,” McKay said.
McKay has also flushed several shots in the practice games, a sign the training he has put in over summer to eliminate the short step is working.
But he warned it would take time to drop a habit he has had since childhood. He will not turn into former sharpshooter Matthew Lloyd overnight, but he and the Blues forwards coach Ash Hansen are confident the changes he has made will hold him in good stead for the rest of his career.

If all of Cerra, Walsh and McGovern are fit, get them in this week. Kennedy might be the unlucky one to miss out. Otherwise it's another 2 weeks without a game before the final.Depending on how sore Cripps is, I'd be tempted to give him two weeks off and give Kennedy a run

Make sure you do watch it - really interesting and great soundtrack.
Watched it this arvo, definitely worth a look.
His songs 'I Wonder' and 'Sugarman' always seemed to be playing around parties in the
early 80's, hard to work out how the Yanks had never heard of him.
