Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 10 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney
We resurrected Fantasia's career when all and sundry reckoned he was kaputt. Time to pay the rent or feck off. It grinds my gears to watch blokes going at half rat power when there's always kids crying out for opportunity.Orazio spent the second half of last season in the SANFL and Port played Jed MCEntee ahead of him as a small pressure forward and he didnt exactly light it up imo so you have to ask why wasnt Fantasia played when he appeared fit and had some good games where he kicked goals and had decent stats.
Even if you can't get a kick, you can still lay tackles and put on blocks. Don't just stand there DO SOMETHING

Morrison, the guy who by his own admission never had an original idea but was a fervent backer of anything he felt advantageous…. 🙄He did have one original idea and that was to simplify Government by becoming the minister for everything...🤔

They need to stop Cripps, Walsh, Curnow and McKay.It will be a very tactical game in terms of both teams trying to subdue the other teams prime movers...

Could you run someone like Marchbank or Kemp as a defensive forward hard tagging Blakey?Need to stop Gulden.....best disposal in the comp and AA material again.
I think stop Blakey's run and you smash Sydney's ball movement, he's the trigger for a huge percentage of the Swans attacking plays.
Needs a stopper...

How surprising..not... seeing ScoMo selling his soul to the Devil and sticking fat with his equally dodgy mate and claiming a media pile on but even more interesting is that photo with Trump at a reported 6'3" appearing the same height as Scomo who is around the 5'11/6ft mark....🤔

If we get Fog back, the loss of Cotters won’t be critical. If Fog’s not right, the next man up would be Binns. He isn’t far off Cotters in running power but his lack of experience and defensive intensity could be exploited.Problem is finding a suitable opponent too where you can afford to risk him defensively hoping to gain an advantage with his rebound work.
Williams does his best work with the ball in hand and has produced moments of brilliance running off halfback. He is vulnerable when one out and closer to goal, particularly early in games when umpires are more likely to pluck frees. If our defence is well set up, Williams isn’t as vulnerable and can hurt the opposition with his run and creativity.
I guess that it boils down to whether we value rebounds from defence over stifling the opposition forwards.
I'm not seeing any suitable opponents from their forward group..

Where do you play him? Cant defend to save himself. The midfield experiment has already failed once. Maybe fwd?Tough question....trial as a small forward?

I wasn't saying that he needs to play down back, just that he might need to play. Running out of soldiers.
Who comes in for Cottrell?
The outs last week were Fantasia, Young, Cuningham and Williams.
Cunners is injured.
Young is a different type.
So pick 1 out of Fantasia and Williams......or someone else from the 2's. Binns?
Appreciate he might have to play but I wouldn't want him down back and maybe a sub role would suit..

Cottrell out.Not sure I want to see Williams play down back with no suitable opposition....
Cunners injured in the 2's.
Williams might be forced to come in.

Cottrell for the Lizard.....?Too outsized imo....Cottrell might have to play on Gulden, clearly the best and most damaging winger in the comp with his kicking being elite and if he plays well the the Swans forwards are going to be well supplied.

Being able to play Pittonet and TDK in a horses for courses fashion will be a key for us going forward and Grundy this week is another player who I think would be happy to see the more physical Pittonet out and would prefer to back his skills vs TDK's rather than have Pitto working him over and making it far from bruise free.

Heeney is the matchup that looks almost impossible. Sydney were ruthlessly efficient against the Dockers over here and he was their best again. It's a pretty powerful side when Luke Parker can't get a game.Id expect Parker to be back this week....

He reminds me of Skinny Lappin who became a legend for us.Reminds me a bit of David Glascott......if he can be half as good I would be happy.
I think he didn't have any touches in his first two games!
If this forum was around then he would've been a lightning rod for negative comments.
Lucky it wasn't.
Ollie just need to do his job and learn his limitations and play to that. Oh and build his core strength.

Acres will probably get McInerney given the size aspect leaving Gulden for Ollie or Binns and thats not a matchup Id want to see and if I was coaching Id be placing a stopper on Gulden like Boyd or even Cincotta.
