Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 6 2024 Post Game Review Carlton vs GWS
Last post by DJC -According to coach Kingsley" its hard being Toby"...sometimes I agree he doesnt get calls go his way due to his previous reputation but he was undisciplined tonight and the incident with Boyd showed he had little duty of care imho and there was another I'm sure I saw with Kemp I think it was where he took a swing at him while contesting the ball falling to the ground.
Good to see both Cowan and Newman looking after Boyd too and letting Toby know he wasnt going to get away with his BS....
Hogan struck Young in the jaw as well and that should be looked at too.....credit to Young when Weitering got his corkie and couldnt run it was Young who got the job on Hogan and shut him down and showed some physicality which has been lacking in his game...
Young showed a nice line of niggle that I haven’t seen before.
I think that he was below his best today and, like all of our defenders, was unsettled when Williams was subbed out. Like his teammates, he did step up when Weiters and Newey were hampered by injury.
Boyd is always the defender I choose to omit but I think I’m going to have to re-think that. His defensive work today was excellent, particularly when he was switched to Greene, and his ball use was typically good.
Greene reminds me of a pit bull - no matter how much the owner says “he’s friendly”, you’re still wary of getting bitten. He’s lucky Boydy got straight up and should only cop a week.
The MRO won’t consider Hogan’s past offences but he should go back to the punch to the jaw that concussed Sam Rowe. Young’s reaction suggested heavier impact than it probably was. I’d give him a week but he’ll probably get a fine.
