Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 23 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood
Quote from: Baggers on
Williams? Just too big a risk. The heat there will be in next Sunday's game would be a bridge too far for a bloke lacking match fitness.  

Quite agree Mr B,  will be well short of a run and given history just as likely to limp off.
On the other hand Stocker should be better for the run last week. Like many, I think Liam is part of our future.

The player who worried me last week was our ruckman. Good work horse at throw wins, but seemed well behind the speed of the game if the ball was in dispute or in his hands. Hope we play big Tom as 2nd ruck.

The only sour note was the poor game from Motlop. Ran around and did SFA... no impact.

Yes Baggers, young Motlop didn't look very "engaged" in the quarter & half that I watched.  Certainly no second efforts.  Also looks to be still carrying plenty of puppy fat!   Perhaps time to start the real apprenticeship!         
Such as a run with roll (in VFL games) on an opposition's midfielder, or some time in the back pocket guarding their sharp moving small forwards.
He has to become more than the so called "deadly" sharp shooter if he is to play AFL.

Retain David Teague.

It is probable human nature to want to be on the side of the winners. Even if such a win is merely enjoying joining the mob to pitchfork yet another Carlton coach out the door. 
In our rush to accept the "lets change coach again" scenario that appears to be emanating from some Board members and being gleefully cultivated by the media, are we being fair to and are we giving full value to David Teague as a coach.

I congratulate those CSC members on this site who in showing support for DT continuing  as Carlton coach in 2022 have outlined not only his coaching positives, but importantly the impossible task he has faced this season putting a competitive team on the park due to such an enormous injury list.

I for for one would be happy to sign a petition asking the board to retain David Teague as coach for season 2022.

Pat Kerr
Have always thought we should have hung on to Pat Kerr. From reports he played some v. good reserves games & probably would have played more AFL other than injury. More potential than Finbar and others perhaps,  but those who watched his games would know.
Anyway his chance to show Carlton recruiters his worth.
Cheers Ab

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 11: Carlton vs Sydney

Seems unlikely we will make the finals now and if we did would we be competitive anyway?
PLAY THE KIDS     Give them games and find out if they have a future at Carlton.
That way we will have a future.

While we are doing so rest the injured/out of form older players - no need to even name them
Cheers AB
