Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 10 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney
Last post by dodge -What did our top 6 do to respond? They're the leaders.
Need to be at your best to beat the Swans, we were miles away.
Voss explained that Kennedy and Hewett being the sub is part of our strategy to manage player workload.So the strategy is wrong, that's still an MC issue isn't it?
Perhaps umpires wish to set the ground rules early in the game, possibly subconsciously, then relax their interpretation as the game progresses.It's mostly about the crowd and the pre-game focus, umpires are human, regulars and stars get treated differently to walk ups.
we somehow manage to have frees paid against us directly in front of goals but hardly ever get one ourselves.
Did our MC overreact to some misfortunes? We had some close losses but they were really misfortunes or bad officiating that cost us more than once while stats continued to look pretty good in most areas. Now in the space of just a couple of weeks, a few tweaks and all the numbers have slide to the point last Friday we had almost no winnings areas.
The tweaks haven't helped they may have actually hurt.
We had a few discussions here a couple of weeks back, when Kennedy was made sub, that we seemed to be making some odd decisions relating to the MC and match day tactics. In effect we seemed to have willingly disrupted a winning formula to try and patch underperforming areas of the team, and in doing so it feels like we ended up pulling down the whole house. The part that was good is now waning under the strain of trying to bridge gaps, and we are left with almost no winning areas at all.
Sorry, I see democratic, non territorial expansionist nations as having major concerns with out friend Mr Putin and expect them to put their shoulder to the grindstone to help defend nations such as Ukraine from neighborhood bullies.Why is Mr putin my friend?
You claim to be a student of history but seem to think Putin will stop at Ukraine ? Let’s not forget Crimea, but where will he next turn his sights ?
The only way to stop your friend Mr Putin is a sword at his throat, nothing less.
History is your friend.
Like it or not Pitto is the no 2 ranked ruckman in the comp. Filter for Rucks and watch the magic happen.Yes because he gets most minutes in there doesn't make him the better ruck imo.

Saad, Motlop and hopefully Fogarty coming into the team will help.Like it or not Pitto is the no 2 ranked ruckman in the comp. Filter for Rucks and watch the magic happen.
Dropping this game is not an option - either is two rucks.
