Robert Heatley Stand / Re: VFL 2024 Rd 10 Carlton vs Preston at Preston
For a change, the line-up is available today. Mirabile visu!I would have liked to see Cooper Lord play, but it is probably a good idea to know his teammates first.
B: [38] Sam Durdin, [22] Caleb Marchbank, [33] Lewis Young
HB: [35] Billy Wilson, [41] Domanic Akuei, [55] Lachlan Young
C: [43] Ashton Moir, [25] Jaxon Binns, [50] Zavier Maher
HF: [19] Corey Durdin, [34] Rob Monahan, [3] Jesse Motlop
F: [52] Liam McMahon, [31] Harry Lemmey, [54] Ned Cahill
R: [45] Alex Mirkov, [16] Jack Carroll, [51] Heath Ramshaw
Int: [74] Logan Prout, [77] Will White, [57] Luke Nelson, [64] Archie Stevens, [73] Dane Harvey, [79] Jack Lefroy, [80] Bailey Lambert
Em: [56] Flynn Riley, [62] Hayden Gill, [75] Oliver Poole, [66] Luca Goonan, [58] Michael Lewis
Nice to see Carroll named, although he may not play. We wouldn't have named so many Emergencies is someone wasn't going to come out.
I guess Lemmey must be questionable as well.
Marchbank: an interesting question. I'd love him to play as he gives our defence some experience that we really lack. But, can he get onto the park?
I'm very happy to see Motlop and Corey Durdin named. That should improve our goalkicking. And both of them need a good game or three.
Our defence looks top-heavy, but I guess we have to play these guys. I'd be tempted to play Dom Akuei forward, especially if there isn't a decent matchup for him. He can take a mark, even if he couldn't out-body me.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Jim Park Voting 2024 AFL Rd 12 Carlton vs Port Adelaide
Rating: A
To beat Port at home, especially when we are still so far from full strength, was nothing short of excellent. For three quarters it was something of a slog, but the last … That quarter harked back to better times.
Votes:
I must admit I found giving votes much harder than normal. We were the better team in the first 3 quarters, but they always seemed to find something to hit back, and we weren’t always winning in the centre square. But we really found a way to win.
[2] Sam Walsh
[1.5] Patrick Cripps
[1.5] Tom de Konng
[1.5] Nic Newman
[1.5] Jacob Weitering
[1.5] Zac Williams
[1.5] Alex Cincotta
[1] Blake Acres
[1] Harry McKay
[0.5] Charlie Curnow
[0.5] Elijah Hollands
[0.5] Brodie Kemp
[0.5] George Hewett
Explanations:
[2] Sam Walsh: Probably our most consistent midfielder on the night, Sam had 34 possessions, 13 Tackles and 8 clearances.
[1.5] Patrick Cripps: Not his biggest night, but when the game was there to win, he had 9 possessions and kicked 2 goals. A leader.
[1.5] Tom de Konng: Tom was probably beaten in the ruck duels on the night, but his game around the ground was brilliant. Important marks, a great goal and 8 clearances indicated just how important he was.
[1.5] Nic Newman: Another extra-solid game from Newman.
[1.5] Jacob Weitering: Destroyed his opponents.
[1.5] Zac Williams: Did a good job as a negative forward and kicked 3 good goals, 2 from great snaps. Loved his game.
[1.5] Alex Cincotta: Continuing to be a great stopper.
[1] Blake Acres: Another more than solid effort from Blake.
[1] Harry McKay: Did a great job providing a target forward.
[0.5] Charlie Curnow: Patchy, as he has been for much of the year, but those good patched were match-winners.
[0.5] Elijah Hollands: Another solid game from the youngster.
[0.5] Brodie Kemp: A great job inn defence.
[0.5] George Hewett: Another excellent contributor in the middle.
Honourable Mentions:
Adam Saad: Not as much drive as he can produce, but kept his opponent on a starvation diet.
Ollie Hollands: Didn’t get big numbers, but did some nice things.
Lachie Fogarty: His work as a defensive forward makes a real difference to us.
Matthew Kennedy: Solid again as a mid and half-forward.
Jordan Boyd: Excellent job as a small defender.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Jim Park Analysis 2024
What a difference a week makes! We were the superior team all day. Pity we couldn't put them away as we could have.
Trends:
[1] There were 17 voters this round, which is excellent for this year. It is double the number who voted in this round last year.
[2] The rating was a 9.35, which is an B+. Consioderably better thanlast week!
[3] 16 players managed a mention this week, which is nothing short of excellent. We had a lot of players who won their position and pretty much everybody did something significant to contribute.
[4] The average vote this week was 32. Considering last week it was 19, you can easily see the improvement.
[5] 4 players managed 100 votes or more this week. A great contribution from all 4.
[6] Patrick Cripps managed 410 votes to be BOG this week, his 4th BOG for the year. Sam Walsh and Tom de Koning came in 2nd and 3rd.
[7] Only two players managed votes from everyone this week; Cripps and de Koning.
[8] Of our youngsters, Cincotta, Kemp and Ollie Hollands all made significant contributions. Cowan and Elijah Hollands also got votes.
[9] This was a game where all sectors of the team made significant contributions. The top 3 vote getters were mids, but the numbers were spread among the other places.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Jim Park Analysis 2024
Our worst game by some margin: the only time this year that we've been comprehensively beaten and broken.
Trends:
[1] There were 14 voters this round, which is reasonable consider that we lost so badly. Please, do take the time to vote. Everyone is appreciated.
[2] The rating was a 6.36, which is a E+. The first time all year the rating so significantly low.
[3] 14 players managed a mention this week, which shows that most players made some sort of contribution. However, not many of those contributions were winning ones.
[4] The average vote this week was 19. By far the worst for the year.
[5] 3 players managed 100 votes or more this week.
[6] Nic Newman was BOG with 328 votes. He was a long way in front ofBlake Acres (143 votes) and Mar Pittonet ( 138 votes).
[7] Only one player managed votes from everyone this week, Nic Newman.
[8] Our youngsters were not significant this week, although a couple were recognized for their efforts.
[9] Our defenders were the main area of vote getting, which tells you something of the game.
Votes:
Newman, Nicholas 328
Acres, Blake 143

Cripps quietly racking up brownlow votes....Probably won't get the 3: not as many possessions as Walsh, but he does attract attention.
