I know we are all probably sick to death of talking about it but...Daniel Hoyne from Champion Data was on SEN last night talking about the decision to play Pitto. Rattled off the amount of times we have won "turnover game" playing only TDK. Was 60% from memory compared to I think it was 25% when we played both. Also TDK played forward for 30 mins on Saturday and was targeted only once. Further to this, H doesn't get to ruck which affects his game and the team because he impacts when he plays ruck.
Hopefully the MC listen to SEN...
Yep its a much talked about topic but its hard to argue against that in the modern game its hard to carry two genuine rucks who are of little value elsewhere and the allrounder ruck who can play either KP or somewhere else on the ground has to be the priority and that it was odd vs a pacy team who have troubled us previously who only carry one genuine ruck themselves why Pittonet was selected. It was a MC blunder that didnt help but hindered our efforts...
I'll also add that TDK is nothing special when played forward either and I dont consider him a qualified forward and id rather rest him for 5 mins each quarter on the bench than send him forward to congest our forward line.

Hate to say it, but can't see how we can win this.  We struggle with fast-running sides, and GWS have that in buckets. 

The one glint of optimism is Harry and Charlie with no Sam Taylor.   But then again, I thought they would kick big bags against Freo and Adelaide for similar reasons......
I too cant see how we can beat GWS but guess what, our recent history shows we dont give and we find a way.
Blues in a nail biter
Go Blues!

AFL 2024 Rd 4:   Carlton vs Fremantle
We were lucky to win, but the way we kept scrapping was very good. Pity we can't kick straight.

Trends:
[1]   There were 14 voters this round, a solid number of start the year. I'd like more, but...

[2]   The rating was a 8.98, which is an B. Fair enough considering that we won, and that we dominated significant periods of play.

[3]   16 players managed a mention this week, which is one up on last week. Everybody contributes when we win.

[4]   The average vote this week was 31.

[5]   5 players managed 100 votes or more again this week. This is becoming the norm when we win these days, and I am not disappointed in the least. May it continue!

[6]   Jacob Weitering managed 333 votes to be BOG this week. Tom de Koning was second while Cripps and Saad were tied for third.

[7]   No player managed votes from everyone this week. This is a rarity.  Weitering, Saad and de Koning missed from one voter.

[8]   None of our youngsters stood out this week, which is disappointing.

[9]   Our defenders generally dominated the votes this week.

Votes:
Weitering, Jacob 333
de Koning, Tom  212
Cripps, Patrick  176
Saad, Adam  176
Curnow, Charles  131

Owies, Matthew  6
William, Zac  6
Boyd, Jordan  6
McGovern, Mitchell  3
Acres, Blake  3
Newman, Nicholas 3
Carroll, Jack  3

Progressive Voting:
Patrick Cripps  971
Harry McKay 854
Tom de Koning 563
George Hewett 527
Mitch McGovern 434
Jacob Weitering 414
Charlie Curnow 380

14 players out, playing the top team which hasn't lost all season, no worries. Carlton by five goals.


Cannot believe we have players who RE-INJURE hamstrings whilst trying to recover from a Hamstring..... WTF is going on with our Re-Hab.

We have our 3 frequent Flyers in the redhab group, Martin, Marcy and Cunners. Motlolp must be enjoying their company as he is trying to force his way in.

We will not win a flag with soft players who are more out than in.  Its time to stick a fork in and show them the door....

The only good thing about our 14 on the  injured list is that we have banked 4 wins and there is a long way to go. If we win 2 out of our next 4 it will be a miricle.
