Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 1 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond
Where to begin on this one. Was at the game and there seemed to be a flukey breeze which seemed to also change direction throughout the night so that could explain the many missed attempts at goal?
I thought we were the better team all night but just couldn't put them away. Mainly because of what we did or didn't do, but to Richmond's credit they never chucked it in. Got some significant help from the umpires but to get within a kick with 3 players down would have been encouraging for them. Havin said that it's happened to us plenty of times in the past so stuff em.
Ugly win but I'll take that ahead of an honourable loss. Let's recharge now and get ready for another "should win" game

Happening this afternoon, at Richmond.
I usually attend, but can't today: work.
Hopefully some of you can see the game and comment. All snippets from the game are welcome, as there is very little coming from the club about our VFL boys as yet.
Crash I just read an article on the Carlton website and it had lots on the game and who was playing. Starts at 4 and is being live streamed from the Richmond website.

Surprised Owies survives but I've never been a fan and after the first game that is unlikely to change anytime soon. Looks like we're counting on out-pacing them which kind of makes sense to me and I guess with no Walsh, Motlop, Martin, the other Hollands our options are limited. Still would love to see Binns get a go one day.

Cincotta is a defender.  Doc hasn’t played in defence for the best part of two seasons and I don’t think we’ll go with 8 defenders.
Yeah, but Cincotta can cover a half-back and free Williams to play a wing. Then Acres or maybe even Hollands goes on-ball. Personally I'd give Acres a go. He was really important in that 3rd quarter on Friday. I'd like to see him set with the challenge.
