Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 13 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Essendon
Article in The West over here today by Paul Haselby imploring the Eagles to go after blokes like Dow, Zurhaar etc....and basically do what we did with Jack Martin....offer up nothing as a trade and walk them through to the Pre-Season Draft and get them for nothing. He was suggesting someone like Dow offers them an inside mid with some leg speed....something they're lacking at the moment. But, if he did sign a one-year extension as was reported, then they'll have to come up with something. Their second rounder will be an early one and I think they also have Port's second rounder too....both probably a bit higher than what they'd offer.

GTC....fair chance that Diesel will be giving them a rev up? He f#cking hated Essendon with a passion....as did Sticks.

Agreed, this is one that is just a must win game....not just for the finals chances. But to put a stamp on it and kick a team when they're down as has been done to us many times over the years.

The midfield, contested ball, clearance stuff is our strength....and Essendon's weakness at the moment. Reckon they'll have Stringer in the middle quite a bit to try and match us in that area. Win that area well and we'll give our forwards plenty of chances to score. Perkins might be a hard match up but reckon we can cover them in most areas. As EB pointed out, their defence isn't a strong point. This is one we should win.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 11 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Collingwood
At the G on Saturday and I'd say Longmuir got one up on Goodwin on the day. He shifted players around and it seemed to catch Melbourne off guard after half time. Fremantle's pace looked like it troubled Melbourne a bit. Lobb will likely never play a game like that again so that was a major factor on the day.

But put May, Langon and Salem back in that side and it's probably a loss they needed to have to just reset and go again. Hopefully they can pound Collingwood in a couple of weeks time and bring them back to earth.
