Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 9 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne
On the umpiring....surely they go in at half time and look at the count and look to square up? The difference between the two halves was ridiculous?
Weitering, Walsh and Cripps were just next level last night and Weitering just seemed to have a spring in his step last night with McGovern back? Kemp was good but needs to stop trying to take Mark of the Year when he should be defending.
Cincotta was brilliant on Pickett and not sure who was on Fritsch but he didn't do much either.
Agree on Hollands...caught a couple of times but was brilliant, especially early. Disappointing to lose Cerra but Hewett will come straight back in for him next week and maybe Carroll or Binns as the sub.
One of Boyd's quieter games this year but still very effective with ball in hand.
And Charlie might not have kicked a bag but some of his defensive efforts were really good and he worked May right up the ground at times to nullify his influence.
And Pitto...definitely broke even on the night IMO with Gawn. Gawn was one of their better players but not as dominant as he could've been.
Disappointing to only win by a point after kicking the first 6 goals, but Melbourne are a top 4 side, beat Geelong last week....so take it and move one.

On paper, both teams look very evenly matched. We've probably got the two better key forwards, but they've got arguably the best key defender combo in the game. Midfields are probably pretty even although Gawn probably gives them a slight edge...but we have two ruckmen compared to Gawn and Van Rooyen as backup.

If McGovern and Martin pass fitness tests, play them. We might need one of the ruckmen pushing back when Gawn goes forward so Martin offers some marking ability forward. Martin isn't and has never been a high possession player......but surely offers more than Fantasia at the moment. But one more soft tissue injury this season for him and that's just about it.
IN: McGovern, Martin, Kemp
OUT: Young, Williams, Fantasia
I think Cincotta stays in.
Young just looks completely lost out there at the moment and is a panic merchant when he gets the ball. Williams was good early in the season with his kicking and run, but last week I lost count of how many panic dump kicks he did out of defence.
And one of Carroll or Binns as the sub.

On paper we look to have the edge even without Saad, McGovern, Martin, Motlop.....but history shows ladder positions don't usually mean much. If we can bring the pressure that we showed for the majority of that GWS game (apart from 20 minutes of the second quarter), we can win.

Gives us a bit of an edge in the midfield for sure. Great if we get Cerra back but I'd like to have McGovern down back this week too just to settle things down a bit.
If Cerra comes in, probably won't be too many other changes.

Maybe Binns comes in for Fantasia and starts as the sub.....Carroll into the 22? Or maybe Cincotta in for Fantasia and starts as the sub....in case we need some more in the backline.
Voss seemed adamant that Weitering and Williams were right to go.

Fingers crossed on Weitering though.....I think Durdin will be exposed for lack of games at this level.
Geelong backline looks a bit bare too though without Stewart and our height could be a worry. If we get it on our terms like we did last week just before half time I think we can win it.
