Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 5 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide
Just got the impression that we went in just that bit too light talent wise to win another tight one. We did get Sammy back and he  played well but others like Cerra were missing. And as others have already said, perhaps it was not the game for Pitto to come in. Weiters was certainly somewhat down on form to add to the woes.

Anyway,  we were just not quite good enough on the day to win another tight one. We definitely will need to smarten up for GWS. Hopefully we will but I'm a bit apprehensive at this stage.

From what Crippa was saying about definitely playing but flying to Adelaide a day after the rest of the team, baby Koda’s arrival was carefully planned. 

Mum and bub are fine and that’s great!

I wonder if Koda Cripps will be running around with our AFLW team in the 2040s 🙂

Hopefully but I won't be there to witness it. I'll have to be happy with just watching her father raising the cup in the 20s. 😎

We had a few lapses but the outcome never looked in any doubt imo. Cuts to the NM coaching box showed Clarko with a look of absolute resignation on his face.  NM are a long term project and its hard to judge how good we actually are against them but I was pleased enough with our efforts. Zurhaar looked pretty matey with Cripps after the game.

But Weiters enables rebounding from defence by his individual defensive efforts, his defensive generalship, his ability to be a target when we get possession and his creative use of the ball.  Weiters may not run and carry himself but he enables his teammates to run and carry.

There's no point having an attacking defender if he can't beat his opponent and Kemp will struggle against Larkey or Coleman-Jones and Treacy or Amiss the following round.  
In short,  the whole is the sum of its parts. The best overall balance is what is most important over journey.
