Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2025 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong
Against WC, they were able to start moving the ball with a bit of confidence, but (by reports) still quite sloppy.  Against North, they were a lot more ruthless and used the confidence from the WC win.  Yesterday, they built again.

It was a great performance with so many doing well - and many team oriented acts for the entirety of the game.

The first few games we spent more petrol tickets early due to our inefficiency.  We seemed to be much better yesterday.

What I hated was the Foxtel commentators reminding us that we 'only' beat North & WC - with a very strong implication we were going to get run over.

Free kick count apparently was 12-2 to us in the 2nd half.  Cats kicked a lot OOF - apart from re-watching, is there a way to find out how many?
OOF stats aren't counted in the free kick count from what I gather.

He has gone up a level with Kennedy not taking up midfield minutes.

He might also be more reliable than others in kicking to the advantage of his teammates.

Also allows us to be more flexible with Cripps. Can let him go forward a bit more often where he can be dangerous. He'll likely go there more and more as he gets older.

@DJC, cripps is a better third forward than anyone else on our list amd that was before we lost Kemp.

I dont know what Kemp is, he's a good ordinary player, but he's a player i can't work out what he is, and utility is all I got.

I think we saw a little bit in the 2nd half that they will use Cripps forward.   With Hewitt, Cerra, Walsh and Lord that makes a little bit of sense.  Pitto isn't good enough to play first up.  

We are keen again to drop our small forwards.   I thought by committee the small forwards in Motlop, Durdin, White and Williams played well.    If Ellijah is match fit I would bring him in as he offers a different dynamic up forward.     
Like Dangerfield I reckon, as Cripps gets older, he will spend more time foward.
