I wonder if hamstring injuries have increased in the AFL in general in 2024?

Not an opponent you want to encounter unless you are close to a full list. Our recent injuries could be what ends up being a poor loss against the Giants. Probably the most improved side in the last couple of seasons. I will be happy if we get away with a loss of under 4 goals.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

Surely we need to give Binns a game?
Only if he earns one by forcing his way into the team.  Having said that, I thought he was better in attacking the contested ball in today's match than I have seen previously - even if he did go missing for a significant part of the second half.

Binns is a funny one.
In the VFL games I've watched...
He racks up possessions, but he does so in a manner that is often barely noticeable.
I'm often surprised when I look up the stats and seen he's had the ball so often.
Do those possessions equate to influence and impact on games?

Part of that could be the nature of the commentary of VFL matches where players aren't always identified, and cameras don't pan in or follow the play to the same extent that they do with multi camera angles in AFL games.

Binns running power is outstanding he is perfect runner for transition play like Cottrell.
He finds plenty of the ball through pure work rate. But what impresses me more is that work rate he also adds tackles and clearances to his game. 25 touches, 4 tackles 3 clearances from the young fella is fantastic for a wingman.

I've watched plenty of Binns in the past 12 months. Great runner and ball user. He didn't make VFL team of the year for nothing......
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

It wasn't long ago we had running machine in the 2s who's form their never translated or transferred to the 1s. All he ended up being was a whipping  boy. From what I have seen of Binns, albeit limited, he is miles off and will end up another whipping boy when he goes missing. In my view, he doesnt replace Cottrell on present form IMO. He doesnt replace Acres on wing. Does he warrant a game ahead of Ollie H on a wing maybe? I dont think so but interested to hear thoughts.

GWS copped as many injuries as we did. Haven't heard the latest update, but there was a concussion, Coniglio had a knee scare and someone else was hurt.

First of all, VFL form doesn't mean AFL form.
Plenty of great VFL players haven't made it at AFL level.

Secondly, where do you want us to play Binns?
Acres, Hollands (x2), Cottrell all play similar position and all are doing well enough in those positions so far.
So we drop a regular AFL player for a rookie because......why?

I've got nothing against Binns. Honestly, i couldn't pick him out of a crowd, i just don't understand why we are pushing for a bloke when he doesn't fill a position we need filling.
Its like if a ruck was the most in form player in the VFL and dominating all comers. Do we introduce him to the 1's when we have TDK (and now Pittonet) playing decent enough footy? No, there isn't a spot, no matter how well he might be playing.

Hollands has had a couple of poor games in a row and his no name opponents have been good players for their respective clubs.
Doesnt mean Ollie should be banished never to return but I think Binns deserves a chance to see if he can do better and let ollie work on his game in the twos. Id rather Ollie stop his opponent than try and rack up possessions if he finds himself struggling.....starting Binns as the sub might ease him into senior footy.

Ollie Hollands needs a spell imo.
