Haynes and Young take eachother out in the contest.

We going to have Derkson going solo next week unless we get some players back.

Hopefully Haynes and Young are ok.
Hopefully Dean comes back.
Hopefully Weitering doesn't reinjure himself.
Hopefully HOF isn't far away

Otherwise forget about finals.

So does the tigers bloke get rubbed out for leading with his head in that contest?

Does Cowan get done because the tigers bloke got knocked out (or close enough too)

By the AFL rules, an accidental headclash, the one who caused the head injury gets in trouble, ie Cowan.


Now clearly, Cowan did nothing wrong. But i say this to highlight how stupid the rule is when it takes into account outcome as a priority.

Pittonet got a free kick against

David King, its almost like he is too strong for Balta.

So he got penalised for being too strong??
Thats a new one.

you cant physically throw the opposition ruck out of the contest like he did. Thats  why he didnt remonstrate he knew he did a dumb thing.

Balta is a concern - bad match up for our man too mobile and agile. 

walsh as well dumb place to do what he did.

hoping the melee will switch us on

You can push and shove. He was penalised because the other bloke fell over.....because he was too good at the push and shove.
If you can't push and shove in the ruck, then we are playing basketball.

Acres didn't play today. He is probably the Emergency. That said, assuming he doesn't play at all, then he will ne 'managed', which isn't the worst thing for a guy his age and injury status.

Williams wasn't on the ground much after half time, so he may well be an Emergency as well.

Acres was promoted to emergency when young came in.

Williams is not on the emergency list so cant come in. If he went missing, id be checking his calf.

Why are the girls wearing the white clash guernseys (and navy shorts)?  There's plenty of contrast between navy blue and black and white prison bars  ::)

Girls do not wear white shorts.
It was a request of theirs for 'female' reasons which makes a lot of sense.

Dean is a huge out for us.
No offence to Lewis Young, but his opponent kicked 4 last week and was the difference between defeat and victory. He might have less than 10 possessions, but the result ...
Young is getting a lot of ball in recent times, which is a two-edged sword.

We can't be too far off getting HOF back in action. We chose not to use his spot in the MSD, so surely expect to get him a game or 2 this year at some point.

I've got no issues with Ollie Hollands

....but i think we have been much better with Acres in the side.
Hard to pick up on TV, but the amount of times he is the last one on the line in defence yet also managing to be the deepest one on the line in the forwardline is remarkable.

I joked years ago about how he always managed to kick one out on the full a game.....i'm not surprised with the amount of repeat sprints he does to get deep, his legs must be like jelly half the time.

He is also a bigger body (height+weight) compared to Ollie Hollands.

I would've given Ison a rest over Acres, even if its not like for like.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 16 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast


No.

1. Reid would cost more than the picks we have.
2. Throw Cripps in there instead, and the answer is yes. Swap of #9s

It was the Cripps/ Reid contest last week that triggered the question.
They went hard at each other but seemed to be enjoying the struggle when one got a win over the other.
Imagine them together for a couple of years. ;)  :D

Imagine Walker and Reid together for a decade! ;)

Whats the old term from yesteryear......*unzips fly*  :D
