Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 11 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

A seven-goal haul from Carlton youngster Harry Lemmey proved to be the difference as the Blues won by 30 points.

Veteran Sam Docherty continued to stake his claims for a senior recall after gathering 39 touches and six marks.

Mid-Season Draft fancy Liam McMahon slotted another four majors, while Alex Cincotta returned from a hip injury.

Docherty will come straight in now even though most Blues watchers agree his best days are behind him.

Lemmey has a blinder but that is all you will see on his resume, would the selectors be gutsy enough to give him a senior game ??

Cincotta needs more than one VFL game to show he has fully recovered from his injury plus his fitness level is up where it needs to be. Chances are, they will rush him back in desperation though.

Insipid s0ftcocks, a complete & utter embarassment.

Totally disrespectful to the passing of Wallsy, a disgraceful effort really.

As I said weeks ago, season over, we are 9th or 10th at absolute best.

And can someone ring the Match Committee and ask them why Evans keeps getting a game ??

Motlop, Durdin, White & Evans are inept and passengers, get rid of them, not only out of the team, but out of the club.

And take McGovern with them too !!

Curnow plays in small patches, it's all about him now, he should be known as Mr. Brainfade after that pathetic "play-on' from a setshot close to goal.

Just in case you weren't aware, I've had a gutful of this mob !!

St.Kilda play the worst brand of football and drag the opposition teams down to their crap level making the game rather unwatchable.

So many errors especially 'out on the full', really bad.

No player was a standout for the four quarters apart from McKay, others had some cameos but it was a complete sh1tshow IMO.

With all the injuries, was expecting to get pipped just at the end but thankfully the Saints rubbish gameplan played into ours and we were able to grind out the win.

Weitering had an uncharacteristic first half, made some shocking blues but picked it up in the second whilst Silvagni was nearly our best player all night.

Curnow looked like he was going to put on a clinic (the one hand mark and goal were particularly impressive) but put on Harry Potter's invisibility cloak after 1/4 time. Watching him closely, he just doesn't run hard back to our forwardline to create a target, just trots along like he doesn't have a care in the world.

The four small forwards (Evans, Durdin, Motlop & White) were non-events IMO kicking just one goal between them, we can't keep persisting with them.   

Can't see us being any better than mid-table (9th or 10th), we are just not good enough which is a sad reality.

We made a ton of dumb errors in the first half which left the door ajar for the Cats.

They have come out after halftime with a renewed sense of attack and have trimmed the lead down a fair bit.

We have to be better this time around, you can make those errors against the cellar dwellers and get away with it but not this week.

Cats are an example of this.

Jack Martin isn't best 22 for them, but he is a good depth player to have when required.

I'm more than happy that he cannot be picked this week. When fit, he worries any opponent. Thankfully, he is not often fit, including this week.

He hasn't played a game for them yet so how can you say he is a good pick-up for them ??

Always injured !!

The best thing Jack Martin ever did was walk out the front door and said goodbye ............ bone-fide dud.

A top up player can be good value at the right price and right availability. Doesn't have to be best 22.

How many more top up players do you want ??

Fantasia
Haynes
Lord
Boyd
White
Cincotta
Evans
Cottrell
O'Keeffe
Duffy
Monahan

11 players out of 45, that's 25% of our playing list that are top up options (i.e. undrafted & untraded for).

I don't know why this pre-match thread has been turned into a List Management but anyways ............

For the record, I have never read so many offbeat theories in my life.

On top of that, we are not in the "depth" business !!

If you want depth, then you create it by bringing in better credentialled players into the top half/third of the list thereby forcing players on the fringe (who may be getting a game) further down the pecking order.

And lastly .......... "best 22" means absolute jacksh1t, look at Norths best 22, they can't even blow out a candle.

If you want to be a genine contender, then you need to create a "competitive 22" that is the equivalent of (or better than) the top 6-8 clubs.

Being in the best 22 players on a craphole list means nothing and never will, it's a bottom of the barrel mentality.

The last two weeks we have been at a holiday camp, I don't count them as anything more than training drills even though I did have a genuine sense of concern for the NM match)

This week we are back in the saltmine playing the Cats, another loss (even a hard fought loss) will not be considered acceptable nor tolerated.

They have to do a hell of a lot to rekindle my faith & belief, I can't buy into any short-term sugar-fix, I want long-term results & consistency  

Dropping this game will just show once again that we are in fact, frauds !!
