Em: [17] Brodie Kemp, [4] Oliver Hollands, [16] Jack Carroll
Considering our injury problems, this isn't bad line-up. It is a pity that a number of our players are not in great touch.
[1] I was a bit surprised by Kemp's demotion, but he didn't have a good one last week. He has been very up and down this year.
[2] Orazio is very lucky. I hope he can produce this week, as he's only kicked 1 goal for us as yet.
[3] I can understand why Ollie Hollands and Jack Carroll come out. Cerra is a better option. Ollie's form hasn't been great for all the work he has been doing. With a little luck, he might pick up some form. Jack Carroll I'm yet to be convinced about. But a good 20 - 30 possessions game in the 2's will help him no end.
[4] Mattie Owies is a little lucky to remain. He has made some terrible errors in the last few weeks. Corey Durdin is probably ever luckier. I was surprised to see us give him an extra 2 years. Both guys need to produce this week.
[5] Young I hope he can have a good one. Cox isn't the best forward if you body him. Give him the run at the ball, and he can be a real pain in the posterior.

Robert Heatley Stand / VFL Rd 6 2024 Carlton vs Werribee at Werribee
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.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong
Cincotta can play tight, he can even play midfield, which I didn't expect to see. he has real depth on his kicks as well.

Geelong 23 - 18 - 156
4 of the lowest 6 possession getters were our AFL listed kids: Lemmey had 6, O'Keefe had 6, Mirkov had 7 and Monahan had 7. Not much to enthuse about.

Sorry forgot the umpiring. Some Mind boggling decisions.We won't be seeing these three Umps again anytime soon. They were appalling.

Whoever decided to name this award after Jim Park, back in the day, did an inspired job.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Jim Park Voting 2024 AFL Rd 6 Carlton vs GWS
Rating: A
An injury depleted team takes on an undefeated one and, but for a ten-minute period in the 2nd quarter, crushes them. We certainly picked up after last week’s failures.
Votes:
I know we have 15 votes to play with, but there simply aren’t enough to reward everybody adequately.
[3] Patrick Cripps
[3] Sam Walsh
[1.5] Marc Pittonet
[1.5] Tom de Koning
[1] George Hewett
[1] Matthew Kennedy
[1] Jordan Boyd
[0.5] Brodie Kemp
[0.5] Matthew Cottrell
[0.5] Harry McKay
[0.5] Ollie Hollands
[0.5] Charlie Curnow
[0.5] Nic Newman
Explanations:
[3] Patrick Cripps: One of the great games: 39 possessions, 13 clearances, 7 tackles. Crippa did it all.
[3] Sam Walsh: Almost as good as Cripps, which says something. 35 possessions, 6 clearances and 4 tackles.
[1.5] Marc Pittonet: One of Marc’s best ever games. He not only dominated the taps, he got the ball around the ground.
[1.5] Tom de Koning: 3 goals in itself would be a great return, but his ruckwork really shows how much he has improved.
[1] George Hewett: Most other week, George’s numbers would be worthy of 3 votes. An excellent game!
[1] Matthew Kennedy: Celebrated his 100th game in style, bot on the ball and in defence after injuries to Williams and Weitering.
[1] Jordan Boyd: Played a lot of the game on Toby Greene and minimized his effectiveness.
[0.5] Brodie Kemp: Superb job in defence.
[0.5] Matthew Cottrell: Not huge possessions, but almost every time he got the ball we scored.
[0.5] Harry McKay: Started slowly, but showed how dominant he can be in the air.
[0.5] Ollie Hollands: Started slowly, but came into the game and did some really clutch things.
[0.5] Charlie Curnow: 3 goals 4 points: should have been 7 goals.
[0.5] Nic Newman: Another Nic Newman game. You know what you get each week with Nic.
Honourable Mentions:
Elijah Hollands: Possession were down a bit, but 2 great goals and a solid performance.
Lewis Young: Stepped up when it was needed. Very good.
Jacob Weitering: Struggled with injury, but still did a job.
Lachie Cowans: I wanted to give Cowan votes. He did an excellent job and showed a lot of poise and determination.
Zac Williams: Apart from one bad mistake, Zac was pretty good until he was injured.

Akuei and Billy Wilson available. Wilson is an immediate 'in'. Not so sure about Akuei. He has had a pretty ordinary start to the year.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong at the MCG
No change to the 23 but Sam Durdin is named as an emergency.Interesting considering he hasn't played a real VFL game yet.
Injury cover for Weiters?
