Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 11 2024 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Gold Coast
I know it may open a can of worms, but we just look better with TDK as the solo ruck, it also allows H to get into the game more in the ruck and around the ground. Not so top heavy. An extra running small is oh so handy.

Our only lapse was the last 7 or 8 minutes. Huge step re persistence.

I saw why Fantasia was chosen over Durdin, narrowly.

McGovern so supreme in defense.

Walshy great but gotta clean up on disposal, handed them possession too many times.

I think we have to live with the fact that Charles is spasmodic, laconic and inconsistent... but when he's on, he's an amazing weapon and turns games.

Martin showed what a small forward can doing hanging around H and Charles. Too much talent to be used as a lock down defender. Great opportunistic goal sense.

Cincotta sacrificed his game to play his lock down role really well.

Got a beaut with E Hollands. Just used the aggot so well.

Crippa shone.

To be honest, I wouldn't make any changes for next week. Saady and Fog will be better for the run. Motlop needs another game in the Magoos. Maybe Billy for Jack as the sub.

But we don't learn it's the same old issues over and over

Don't worry, Professory, I agree it's a massive hurdle. Especially when the opposition counters our set-up. I hope, mmm... pray, we took a leaf out of the Dishlickers book in their game against the Fluffy Ducks, when the ducks dialled up the pressure, the Dishlickers responded with their own dialled up pressure and the ducks struggled. If not for the injuries to key personnel in that game I reckon the Dishlickers would have gotten up.

Saw something in that qtr you never want to see... Dom A is out marked at FF, his opponent turns and runs into goal and Dom A immediately gave up the chase - just turned and walked away. Yes, it was pretty inevitable (the goal) but to turn and walk away before his opponent had kicked the ball... not on.

Can anyone see us winning today based on what we've been doing for 4 quarters most weeks?

We don't look fit, and we were soundly obliterated after half time last week.

If young is fit he should be playing.  Weiters going down cooked us, you could argue we looked better with young than without him so far this season.

Absolutely I can see us winning. And winning well, based on our potential and learning from the errors of the season thus far.
