I don't know how much Weitering's financial woes might be affecting him but, since the loss of Jones, he has been largely anchored on the last line and has devolved to mostly punching to spoil, which are often more effective than his kicks of late.

It would be an interesting swap for a quarter or to, Harry Mckay to CHB and Weitering to the forward line. The shake up might pull Weiters out of a form slump and certainly make the opposition think. Suspect that Harry could be sensational at CHB

Will be at game Syd. Fri night, so fingers crossed for gutsy performance our boys.

Aside from the West Coast game what we're doing just isn't working at the moment.
The forward line is dysfunctional and actually an asset to the opposition.
We need to do something different.
Maybe even something radical and unexpected
 e.g Swap Harry and Young,

Yes like the thought.  The one thing that seems to be missing from Voss's coaching (so far) is his willingness to take risk.  In game radical position changes can get the team back firing sometimes.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 8 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane
1. After sitting through the Adelaide Oval Crows debacle I mentioned the old football coaches cry "pick up your man!
When CFC kick out after point score, other teams man us up and put us straight under pressure.  We often allowed Brisbane to easily kick short to a player.  We did have the same number of players, didn't we?  

2. Witches hats when Brisbane had the ball and heading deep into their forward line. Yes our guys do the right and run down there, but then some (like Motlop) seem to be mesmerised, just stand there and don't man up.     

Plenty of effort at times , but not well directed.

Sounds like there could have been a  reason for TDK's performance.

"A difficult fortnight for axed big man Tom De Koning continued on Saturday when he suffered a concussion and finished with just seven touches, 13 hitouts and one goal in a narrow loss to the Bulldogs. The 23-year-old, who was dropped from the senior side two weeks ago, is out of contract at the end of this season."    from "Axed Blue Concussed". AFL

---------Will be fascinated to see what the coaches do with this. There are so many lessons, I can't imagine where they'll start. Lesson 1...... 118 🫣

Well L.N - while watching the game last night from top level Adelaide Oval I thought the Lesson 1 should be "Pick up your man" (And then beat him to the ball!)
