Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 12 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide
Last post by Thryleon -
You know, I'm not against anyone getting a game anywhere at any time, but in the VFL the bullants vs the blues was the equivalent of West Coast or the current Richmond seniors vs North Melbourne.  Both teams have 1 win for the year.

The AFL listed players (all of them) were borderline competitive at this level and guys like Cahill, Ramshaw, Jean-Luc Vellissaris, McMahon were the ones who were the better of the lot playing. 

Carroll the only one truly knocking on the door and even he wasnt above the standard.

"Essendon coach Brad Scott will seek clarification from the umpiring department after two crucial decisions went against the Bombers late in their 11-point defeat to Gold Coast on Sunday night."

Scott obviously starting to panic and wants to highlight 'umpire injustice' against his team so that they get 'a fair deal' on Sunday night!   That's an old trick Scotty!!

He has a point with the two issues he highlighted.

Give some of the kids a chance to play in afl conditions and their output will magically improve.

Give our kids a game in the AFL before they’re ready and we’ll probably throw the game and set their careers back.  We didn’t see much magical improvement from Samo, LOB, Polson, and Dow!

Of course, the MC doesn’t just go on key match day indicators but takes into account what happens at training … and while we don’t know how Fantasia is going versus Durdin, etc, team selection gives us a fair idea.
