Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL 2023 Preliminary Final Carlton vs Brisbane Post Game Prognostications
It crapS me to tears when a bloke like McKenna - who has cut us up previously - does so again. It reeks of poor planning.
We have issues across half forward that need addressing.  When he was 'on' Martin was that man, but yesterday our half fowards just didn't get it done and Coleman and McKenna ripped us a new one. We've got a group of these blokes eg Martin Fisher Cunners Owies so I can see why we'd be chasing Eli Hollands, its part of the ground that we need to find a player for.  Pace, class and ability to take a mark.  They're always a bit up and down but a bloke like (gag) Rohan who could kick six on a good day, and stops the half backs running wild might be what we need.

Only saw the first quarter and was frustrated by the delivery into F50: too many long bombs onto blokes' heads, smalls flying against talls and not on the deck doing their job.  Motlop is evasive but too slow and dropping Owies was a mistake IMO as he creates space. Should have been eight up at quarter time.  Then the dam broke.  If we'd pinched it next week could have potentially been embarassing.

The kick from the reverse angle is perfect, it drew the receiver (Doc) to the perfect position and forced the Dee's player out of position.  If the kick was the typical flat pass out in front of doc the defender would have had an easy intercept and run off.
Old football maxim...kick the ball to where the receiver needs to be, not where he was.

A few years back, maybe for the AFL centenary, they published every club's best side, and i noted the comment "Carlton could field a number of these, but their best is as good as anybody's".

After a quality hiatus a few of the current crop are making solid auditions for future legendary status.

Be a good player, but become a legend at Carlton.
