Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Pre Game Permutations: AFL 2020 R1 Carlton vs Richmond
Firstly thank you to those CSC members who regularly attend Northern Blues matches, practice games etc and then take the trouble to provide us with well considered reports/analysis of the various Carlton players. Always great to hear a "non club" view of how some of these guys are progressing.

Back to the Richmond game and our lack of key forwards. If I remember correctly, Tom DeKonning kicked something like 11 goals in a U18 match, presumably playing at full forward. It would be interesting to see how he would go there against Richmond. Perhaps given the instruction to stay close to the goal square and if he can't mark to knock it down to Eddies & Co.               Some years ago (before most of your time  ;)  ) John Nichols played a simmilar role against the Tigers and we went on to win the premiership. Would have been about 1972 or 1973, I was in NZ at the time. Anyway so much for nostalgia, but we haven't much to lose playing the reigning premiers, so why not try the unconventional.

cheers for now

A joy to be at the game !!  :)
Great team effort of playing for one another and tackling pressure.
Casboults marking made big impact and supporters gave generous applause when he walked over to boundary after the game.

Sorry guys, that minus score was tongue in cheek. Just trying to make the point that Charlie's game  was very poor! Happy for my scoring to be scrubbed,

About a year ago I thought Charlie's work rate was'nt good enough and suggested on another site that he could be played at CHB to learn the effort required and how backs play forwards etc. However our coaches know a lot more than I do and hopefully a bag of Charlie goals this week.

Cheers for now
