Robert Heatley Stand / VFL Rd 6 2024 Carlton vs Werribee at Werribee
Last post by crashlander -
We play Werribee, who are presently 9th, at Weribee this Saturday at 14:05.
We should have a few more listed players for thus game, especially as the emergencies will be able to play. Last week we lost Binns, Sam Durdin and Cincotta, which was almost all of the experience we had.

Some of our guys need to respond after last week.

Mirkov is really struggling at the moment: not getting his hand on the ball, not getting to contests, etc. You can tell he missed a year of football. A real disappointment, and I'm not sure we'll give him another year.

It's great to lock Mimi away but it's also part of a trend towards longer deals for the AFLW girls.  Good to see us taking advantage of the move to multi-year contracts.

Its been a long time coming. Up til the last 12 months or so, you could only give 1 and 2 year contracts.

Which is why we've had the eyes picked out of our list and mass exodus of talent playing elsewhere......well, its not the only reason, but it could've been avoided with longer contracts.

Hill, Skepper, Moody, Sherar....all locked in until 2027. Thats a midfield you can build around.
Now to work out the rest.

Mitchell has been a liability this season.  Losing him would probably help their chances.

I wonder if they’ll bite the bullet and drop Sidebottom 🤔 We’ll probably play him back into form.

Vossy’s response to our profligate play on Saturday suggests that our players will have a hard week.  It won’t be “bring your mouthguards” but there will be some honest feedback and clarification of roles and expectations.
They will miss Mitchell, being doing the grunt work alone with Adams gone and he compliments their other mids imho.
If Sidebottom gets to run around on his own like he usually does when we play him he will get back into form...
Lachie OSullivan from Werribee will replace Mitchell, tough honest old fashioned VFA/VFL footballer but wont know what hit him with Cripps, Walsh and crew waiting for him....
Blues by plenty providing we man up correctly and dont try silly matchups like Cowan on Hill or Elliott or Similar...
