Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 11 2024 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Gold Coast
Watch the love come for williams this week - most wanted him in the bin the last few weeks.

I like him forward and while he wont kick 4 every week he is a decent user and is a smart footballer and dangerous when the ball is loose and bobbling around which happens a lot with our twin towers. Opposition coaches will be concerned having to deal with him as if you don't respect him he will make you pay. Also think we need to persist with kennedy as a medium forward. Cant rely on Martin or Cunningham and with Jack out for the year imo kennedy is a good option for us to fill that gap. He is strong overhead and i trust him as a set shot.

Thought Voss won in the coaches box today which was good cause i cant stand Hardwick.

Happy to bank the points - will be a tougher challenge next week. Hopefully Cerra is ready.  Off to enjoy my winners Scotch.
Think Cerra will need another week. Hammies are 3 weeks minimum.

Do look forward to Martin getting back though. Have he, Williams, Fogarty, Motlop around forward makes us dangerous. Martin's a gun when he's going. Wish we could actually see him but if is he going during the 2nd half of the year, like last year, then i'll be certainly happy.

Again, are you taking the p!55 or what? Tom got smashed by Witts today, if ever you needed two rucks with one parked in the fwd line it was today. I dont know why they didn't park TDK in the goal square for his rest instead of the bench (like the resting ruckman did in the good old days). Sometimes old is new.
TDK got 25 touches, 5 marks, 3 tackles, alot more than Witts. Witts certainly got more taps but we towelled them up at clearances. Beat him where it matters more, around then ground, quite comprehensively.

Liked to have gone on and won by 10 goals when we were 8 up but anyway, underdone blokes got a run under their belt, we found a forward in Williams, who's done alright 2 weeks in a row now, and always seemed in control against a side in decent form.

While we haven't gone bad with 2 rucks we certainly do look better balanced with the one ruck. There's more run. TDK played his best game for us and Harry revels in a run around the ground. Makes an extra target coming out of defence.

:-X Durdin gets the flick and Fantasia keeps his spot  :-X

No Motlop.

Marchbank managed after 2 games, 1 in the Magoos and 1 at senior level. Someone is ripping the p155 out of us. Perhaps the truth would have had the media all over our fitness dept., again, for all the wrong reasons.

Anyway, an improved side.

No way am I even going to speculate who the sub will be.
Take your pick....

Interchange:

Jordan Boyd

Jack Carroll

Alex Cincotta

Lachie Fogarty

George Hewett

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Carlton vs Williamstown at Willi
Willi won by 5 pts... we did hit the front in the final qtr but just couldn't hang on. Entertaining game with some positives for our AFL listed boys. Liam McMahon 4 gls. Binns, Cowan and Young very good. Mirkov dominated the rucks with 44 hit outs. Liked Billy Wilsons game also.

12.11
Very ordinary free kick to give Willi the game.

What's with umpire's this year deciding games, now in both comps.
