Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 1 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond
I still like the Owies/Motlop set up. Owies is already on his 1.5 goals/game average from last year and that's hard to complain about. Martin plays a slightly different role with his marking ability....so for mine, they're the 3 first choice options.
If both Martin and Motlop come back in for the game against North, it might be Fantasia and Cunningham that go out.

It would be strange seeing as many as 4 changes to the team after two wins...
IN: Weitering, Martin, Motlop, Hollands.
OUT: Young, Fantasia, Durdin, Cunningham
Working on the assumption that Walsh is still a couple of weeks away.

Fingers crossed that Weitering, Motlop and Martin are right to go against North.
We looked very shaky down back at times. It's heart in the mouth stuff whenever Young is near it or is trying a short pass in the back half. Kemp was good but a couple of brain fades directly cost us goals.
TDK's second half was huge, especially his stuff around the ground. And another really good game from Harry...again, his stuff around the ground was very good.

Then I think it's Freo in SA for Gather Round?
A 4-0 start would be a huge launching pad before some really tough games.

If Moir comes in for Owies we still have small forward options with Fantasia, Cunningham, Fogarty and Cottrell all able to play that role while doubling up with some midfield minutes.

Richmond will be better with Martyn and possibly Nankervis back this week.

Carroll did more than enough on Friday night to hold his spot and probably come into the 22. I'm not sure Cincotta comes in as we have Newman, Saad, Williams and Boyd as the smaller/running defenders.
Fantasia didn't get a lot of the ball the other night, but when he did, some of his disposal was superb and he could be a bit of a surprise packet this year.
I doubt we'll be experimenting too much. Acres has been one of the standout wingmen in the competition and his running ability makes it a great position for him. He covers the ground as good as anyone.
Ollie Hollands was pretty quiet but his form in the pre-season games suggests he'll hold his spot.
So maybe it's just Carroll into the 22 and Binns in as the sub.
Richmond were terrible yesterday in the first half and if we get plenty of ball, Curnow and Harry should have a night out.
