Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 4 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne


We allowed him to continue his contract.
Took away his top liners.
Now want to sack him after 4 games?
What the hell did you expect to happen??


We didn't take away his topliners
His topliners left of their own accord.
They wanted to go.
...and there may have been some disaffection with the coaching direction that  contributed to those decisions.

Poor choice of words..
We didnt replace his top liners.
Result is the same though.

People were talking about the quality of the list and the outgoings not hurting us because the incomings will spread the load.
Problem with that theory is 3-fold.

1. The players going out were top liners (whether a-grade or not, but #1 forward, #1 ruck, #2 key back). So 'replacing them' with players of less talent means those players now have a tougher matchup. That is Harry doesn't play on #2 key back, he plays on #1. Kemp doesn't play on #3 key back, he plays on #2 etc.

2. The 'kids' we had who were ready to step up have next to no exposed form. HOK was the great white hope because he played a good couple quarters last year. Good quarters in dead rubbers is not an accurate predictor.
Wilson was pumped up by all, i never saw it, but so far hasn't fired a shot
Kemp, not really a kid, but still expected to step up into a new role, been underwhelming so far.
I could continue, but you get the point.

3. We severly overrated the players we recruited. As usual, we look at their best and expect that to be the norm. Some people pointed out that Florent couldn't get a game last year and instead of looking at his ability as the reason, we blamed their coach as the reason.


All of this is what i was trying to prepare supporters for, but people didn't want to listen. Now, the sky is falling and they are ready to burn the place down. I knew it would happen, but even i didn't expect it after 4 games.

No I am not happy about our performances thus far.
No i don't think we should sack the coach.

Wasn't too long ago that we wanted to sack the coach mid-season and we ended up making a prelim that year.
Now i'm not suggesting we will this year, but i'm just pointing out that making knee-jerk reactions, with little to no immediate benefit is a stupid thing to do. Surely we've done this enough to know this by now.

I think you missed the point mate. There are many different types of fuels in the world and the one they are using is the most abundant - hydrogen.

In fact, I'm sure that the technology used in such missions is exactly the type of research and development we need more of to solve our energy crisis here on earth.

If we have an issue with resources, the best way around that is to use the most abundant in the universe.... which is exactly what they are using and what we are trying to get up and running.

So ironically, you answered your own question.
so fuel aside, which im happy to say i got incorrect the spaceship is built on hopes and dreams?

I'm not sure what your issue is. Yes, the whole thing costs a lot of money, but you're assumption is that money would be spent on good causes if not spent on that is leading you astray.
The US of A would rather put that money into their military and blow things up than feed the poor.

Your own morals are clouding your judgement on theirs.

Are you worried about the amount of 91 ron required to achieve the mission ?
what part of is it indulgent did you not understand?
