Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 12 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide
Against a top 8 side, unpires against us, tight for 3 quarters. Still got some guns out too.
Cripps, Walsh, TDK, Newman, Acres, Williams, Saad all great.
Good to see ZW find a new lease on life.
Also thought Concetta did a fantastic job and had been a brilliant addition since returning.
Next week - out, Orasio in, Motlop

Yep.
What Williams did as a small forward is probably what we were expecting/hoping from Fantasia, and Durdin. Opposition sides will put time into Williams now, so that's a hurdle to tackle. But what I really liked was his instinctual goal sense, and when it was time to hold the aggot in our forward line, his defensive work was front and centre. Ripper.
Should we find a fit and in form small forwards trio of Martin, Motlop & Williams... drool. As an opposition defense how would you like to have to quell Charles, H, Martin, Motlop & Williams? And add to that the hardness and tackling pressure of Fog... more drooling.
I’d rather Owies than Martin. At least owies plays a full season

If we went with two rucks we would have taken a runner out of the game on interchange - we had more run because players had more minutes to rest. Two rucks has been a disaster.As Lods said, we’ll never know

TDK got 25 touches, 5 marks, 3 tackles, alot more than Witts. Witts certainly got more taps but we towelled them up at clearances. Beat him where it matters more, around then ground, quite comprehensively.
Also, he’s 24yo. Still learning a hard craft. He’s already b+ player on the league and can easily be elite IMO

Again, are you taking the p!55 or what? Tom got smashed by Witts today, if ever you needed two rucks with one parked in the fwd line it was today. I dont know why they didn't park TDK in the goal square for his rest instead of the bench (like the resting ruckman did in the good old days). Sometimes old is new.We got smashed in HO by we smashed them on clearances (all of them) and TDK had 25 possessions he was instrumental around the ground. The 3rd rover thing is a huge advantage. Aside from a gimme goal, Witt’s had minimal impact around the ground

- Charlie, frustrating. Awful game to HT but some how kicks 4. Thought Harry played a better role in the fwd line for less reward.
- Williams - shows our other forwards how it’s done.
- TDK, brilliant. Shows the versatility of our side
- Cripps was great as was Walsh again
We really need to be rotating our key players on the final month of the year to freshen them up. We have had as hard a 2 months as I can recall, with 2 weeks to come. McG, Weiters, Hewitt, Harry, Newman, Cripps, Walsh, TDK all need spells.
Would be interested to know how we go with TDK an Pittonet today, with one resting on Mac Andrew in the fwd half. Same result?
Next week - out, Orasio, in Motlop
