Backs: Lachie Cowan Jacob Weitering Brodie Kemp
Half-backs: Zac Williams Lewis Young Nic Newman
Centreline: Ollie Hollands Patrick Cripps Blake Acres
Half-forwards: Matthew Cottrell Tom De Koning Elijah Hollands
Forwards: Charlie Curnow Harry McKay Matthew Owies
Followers: Marc Pittonet Sam Walsh George Hewett
Interchange: Jordan Boyd Jack Carroll Corey Durdin Orazio Fantasia Matthew Kennedy
Emergencies: Jaxon Binns Alex Cincotta Hudson O'Keeffe
In: Lachie Cowan, Lewis Young
Out: Adam Saad (hamstring), Mitch McGovern (hamstring)
[1] I can live with 2 rucks. Tom struggled against Briggs last year. Pitto shouldn't.
[2] How did Cincotta miss out? He has to add more than Fantasia and Corey Durdin. And he has shown he can play in the middle: I'd be trying something different there.
[3] Our midfield has been smashed this year. Can we change it somehow?
[4] Ollie Hollands?
I looks at this side and I am uninspired. I guess Cowan is playing well enough, but Cincotta was excellent in his only showing.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Jim Park Analysis 2024
We were lucky to win, but the way we kept scrapping was very good. Pity we can't kick straight.
Trends:
[1] There were 14 voters this round, a solid number of start the year. I'd like more, but...
[2] The rating was a 8.98, which is an B. Fair enough considering that we won, and that we dominated significant periods of play.
[3] 16 players managed a mention this week, which is one up on last week. Everybody contributes when we win.
[4] The average vote this week was 31.
[5] 5 players managed 100 votes or more again this week. This is becoming the norm when we win these days, and I am not disappointed in the least. May it continue!
[6] Jacob Weitering managed 333 votes to be BOG this week. Tom de Koning was second while Cripps and Saad were tied for third.
[7] No player managed votes from everyone this week. This is a rarity. Weitering, Saad and de Koning missed from one voter.
[8] None of our youngsters stood out this week, which is disappointing.
[9] Our defenders generally dominated the votes this week.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: VFL 2024 Rd 3: Carlton vs Collingwood at Ikon Park
Sowans and Binns had 22 possessions, Binns only 7 after half time. Second game in a row he has run out of juice in the second half.
Lewis Young has probably played himself into a senior spot: his best game in a while.
O'Keefe has a long way to go, but he tried hard in the ruck. He needs to put on about ten kg of muscles and work on his tank. Other parts of his game show promise.
Lemmey is still very much a work in progress. He wasn't bad as a defender, but he doesn't have the attack on the ball that I want to see.
Monahan didn't have much impact: I'd be trying him in a slightly different role, where he can run around a bit and use his athleticism.
Dom Akuei is cooked.
Moir is some way off and may be injured.
Billy Wilson going off cost us about 20 extra possessions; the guy has pace and can kick with depth. We really missed him.
Not enough talent on the park, and there will be less next week. Not many senior list Blues at all and we're on TV again.

Calls for Binns to come in astound me. I have been watching the VFL since the 15min of the 3rd and he hasn't laid a glove on the footy.His first half was excellent. Only had 2 disposals in the 3rd quarter. 15 up to half time and one of our best.

Sorry to see Billy Wilson off injured: probably concussed. (
7 possessions to Moir, but he has been in it. A long way to go, alas.
Monahan hasn't done a lot: he's very much learning the caper.

The image didn't come out. Try this: a link to today's line-up. You will note that there is no Marchbank and now Pitto isn't there. Cupboard looking quite bare.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 5 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide
Walker seems to have Weitering beaten between the ears.
Pitto was our best ruck. Tom was useless on the ball and delivered little as a forward. he had to have a down game, but I really hate it to be against Adelaide, whom I despise!
Our midfield work was terrible; Adelaide just walked it out. We probably got as many centre clearances in the end, but ours were ordinary and under pressure. No such thing the other way.
Fantasia has to go back to the VFL: he was very ordinary today and provided us with nothing. We were killed on the ground in our forward line. Corey Durdin wasn't a lot better, but he was down as well. Three tackles this week, which wasn't enough.
Matt Owies: robbed of a goal in the 3rd quarter and then has the worst brain fade in history in the last few minutes. Either of those, and it is game over. But he had only 9 possessions, double Fantasia's number.
Ollie H didn't have a great game. He needs to discover his run again. Elijah was also off the pace today, but he did do some very nice things. He'll probably survive. Carroll may not: almost invisible.

Honestly, GWS should pound us: they're playing well and we're not.

No Cincotta, no Big Durds.
From the VFL lads, Ned Cahill is a big in. Kristian Ferranato named for his first game for us as well at 206 cm Flynn Riley.
Darcy Hogg is an emergency.
10 AFL blues named, but that includes Akuei, Monahan and Harry Lemmey.
