You can add the Pendlebury goal and the goose who didnt pick him up which didnt require much effort given he moves in slow motion these days.....I would have dragged his opponent and sprayed him even if it was Cripps.It was Acres

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 8 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood
We constantly look at who's missing as to the way to improve.Correct, we are kidding ourselves. The "experts" tipped we would be flag contenders, but they don't know for this to be even remotely possible we have to have our best 22 on the park and firing at the same time. We do not have those 4 to 6 bit players to come in and fill up gaps when the neeed arises. Like tonight. We have limitations. We have no depth
When martin is in and plays 2 average games we want him dropped. When his injured we want him back as another ‘dud’ is not performing. Rarely any team is injury free and apart from your high end top liners, injuries to players ranked below your top 10 are over rated imo.
If cripps weitering charlie harry are out its a big loss but when we start counting on a injury riddled blokes like martin marchbank mcgovern and even a young player like motlop to fix our problems we are kidding ourself.

Having said that "H"'s last kick basically sealed the game for the filth. Could not have had a worse kick if he had of dreamed it. Although and quite honestly they were a better side than us all night. A one goal loss flattered us. If we somehow managed to steal this one, well, we're in great train robbery territory right then and there. Anyway back to our small forwards. The fact that Owies was our most effective says enough. How I yearn for Martin and even Motlop or even better still Fogarty to be back because the likes of Fantasia, Durdin and my man Owies are really just filling up space and wasting air. How the hell Cunningham comes straight back in is baffling and gee I don't get paid a lot of money but I was pretty much right. Anyone else?
Young scares me every time he gets near the ball. Very much like Liam Jones, but worse. Can't believe I'm praying for McGovern and maybe even Marchbank to get back, but there it is. That's we're we are at. Pretenders
Carlton are nowhere near it. All we are is a strain on the heart. Too many softcorks.
I have absolutely no confidence playing any other side other than Norf and the Weagles

Carroll pretty much the same and Binns was always going to be the first to make way. The new Paddy Dow?
Kemp I thought would still be there purely because he can play on a tall, but he has been stuffing up all year so maybe it's a wake-up call.
Can't work out how Cunners goes straight in. Was not setting the world on fire and pretty sure he got dropped before getting injured?
Cerra back is one. We just need about 3 more.

If Saad was fit I'd give Williams a rest. His 1st half yesterday was putrid.
McGovern for Young is a no-brainer
Motlop in can replace either of Durdin or Owies who are just not giving us enough. Hell I'd even give Boyd a crack as a small forward ahead of those two.
Ollie Hollands is not doing a lot at the moment. Gee we need Jack Martin back ASAP
There's a lot of blokes who can improve our side and I hope at some stage this year we get them back.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 6 2024 Post Game Review Carlton vs GWS
Didn't think we were playing badly from the get go but just kept missing shots on goal and the Giants seemed to make every shot. Then the blitz in the 3rd. Just came out of nowhere and it is so exhilarating
Cripps was outstanding. Just inspiring.
Walsh magnificent. Like he's never been injured.
George is having a really, really good year. Thought he was past it early on but he just seems to be motoring.
Kennedy's best game for the year and couldn't have come at a better time
Surprised the soldiers that came in to cover in Cowan and Young did pretty well.
Just cameos all over the place. Cottrell, Durdin, Hollands x 2. Just brilliant.
The boys worked very well. Can we produce the same effort next week as we play the undefeated top team again? I hope so! Glad it's at the G

Obviously our best game for the year.
Need to watch the replay

Just watched the final qtr of the Croweaters game... coulda, shoulda won by about 4-5 goals but there was an element of cockiness/lairising which let the Croweaters in. Arrogantly, perhaps, I suspect this was a game we lost more than the opposition won.Absolutely. Just frustrating

The teams that GWS have beaten don't actually make up a Cox Plate field.... An underdone Collingwood, North, WCE, Suns, St Kilda.
They are not in scintillating for and neither are we.
We are most vulnerable against 6th - 12th ranked teams but seem to come to the party against the big dogs.
They are due to drop one, we are due to rebound!
Not if we keep fumbling, dropping marks, miss hitting up targets and refuse to man up.
