Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Jim Park Analysis 2024
Cripps was also #1 in our voting system, and no surprise. Congratulations on another Award champ. The Tribe has spoken.
However, the top ten vote placers here, appear to be the same names who placed in the top ten last night as well! 8) We here at carltonsc.com know our football team very well.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2024 Brownlow Medal Thread
While on predictions, I predicted that Sam Walsh would one day win the Brownlow. If his back holds up. I did suggest Ashton Moir's name last year. Good call, Mick Agresta.
Here is another one. Cripps will win the Norm Smith medal, and hold the Premiership Cup as captain of the team.
Kouta was a true all-round player, everywhere. The only other player I could remember who could play in all positions was Matthew Pavlich.
Wayne Carey also spent some time at CHB and in the midfield during his final years at North Melbourne. He also went very well there too.
It seemed our own Jesaulenko played FF, centre, the pockets at both ends of the ground, you name it. Perhaps Charlie Curnow might move around a bit in time too.

Others can't handle the fact that this unique footballer is ours. For the rest of his career too.
As for the Hosking twins and the Daicos brothers, there is obviously a noticeable difference between them. The Hosking sisters are identical. There is a 2 inch difference in height between the Daicos pair. And three umpires as well. Maybe one umpire gets overruled by two blind umpires sometimes?

That really was an outstanding effort.
Congratulations to Crippa.

We probably shouldn't get too carried away though.
You're only as good as your last Brownlow :D

If there is one thing we could do better in future it is to get a few blokes rising to the challenge and standard he's set, and  taking a few votes off him. ;)
Walsh's back hurts. A fair effort from him. A what if case...
The team would be lost without the big man in the centre square. This sport, let alone our club, has never seen anyone like him. He is unbelievable. And he will still be here for many more years to come...

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Pick your best 22 of 2024 - PART 7 - End of season
This is probably a best 22 based on who seems to be the 22 who produced the most for the year. Not one for next year, not a preferred best 22 for this year. So the New Kids on The Block aren't considered, but hopefully at least one, or more, will be there next season, or at least very close to being there.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Football Cliches
This old one, similar to the dog ate my homework excuse. I didn't see it. The perfect cop-out answer to a question.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: VFL 2024 Rd 14: Carlton vs Richmond at Richmond
One of the real problem with Akuei's growth and development has been the fact that he's played back, forward, ruck, even the wing, and not been able to settle into a position. He's a slow burn type of player. He's gone to the back line and ruck for this year, what's his position? Perhaps keep playing him as a second ruck for the rest of the year? Arguably with O'Keeffe out of the side, it may have came out of necessity. But this means he doesn't play permanently as a defender. Still, it looks like he's really showing something there. If he keeps going the way he is in that role, then he's a real chance of becoming a category a rookie next year. Clearly he was going to take time to develop, but the signs are there that as a second ruck, he's showing some promise.
