Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 16 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide
If we get a response and win this game I think it's a sugar hit type fake.

I guess need to start from somewhere...

Some are saying the club doesn't need to make irrational and big decisions in the offseason and will be measured and methodical.

They said that last time and hired an assistant coach that was sacked from his previous senior coaching gig.

four years under Voss to balance the list with small forward class.
There is only one trade that makes sense - TDK pick if he goes + McKay to North Melbourne for Paul Curtis + 2nd round pick.

Don't give up your day job mate.

You are essentially saying TDK + Harry for Curtis and a 2nd rounder.

I wouldn't do that deal if it was just one of them. No way in hell its both of them.

So what will you do? TDK's pick as it stands is Pick 8 and Melbourne want three first rounders for Pickett.

What will you do to make our forward line more unpredictable?... or just kick the can down the road as Voss has done.

A brownlow medalist
2 x coleman medalist
6 x All Australians

Its not the list.

That covers, what, 6 players. What about the other 40 on the list?
Forget that, what about the other 14 in the team?
Lets not go overboard, lets simply look at the other 4 forwards.
Out of them, how many get a game in another team?

Parts of the list are strong......very strong.....parts of the list are not.
We've pulled a few rabbits out of hats to somewhat potentially solve our CHB issue which was IMO our biggest need.
Our next biggest need IMO is elite ball users from HB to HF.
This is where we are getting let down.
How many from your list above fit that category?

Cerra, Silvagni, Haynes, Gov, Williams, TDK, Acres, Hewett, Cottrell

Then you have O + E Hollands, Lord, White, Fogarty, Cincotta, Boyd.

Its not the talent of the players - its the coach.

There is more than enough talent on the list. Kemp, Smith, Newman not included...

This team is at its peak and Voss hasnt managed to drill them after four years.

So when are they going to get drilled after 6-8 10 years?

Maybe they are drilled perfectly and the players are simply not good enough.

A genius coach cannot get a bunch of c-graders to perform at an a-grade level.

They all seem match fit to me - just lack the hunger and desire to win. or down on confidence in a big way.

Small forwards not finishing their work probably letting down the rest of the group as they do bust a gut and get it forward relentlessly.

Small forward set up needs an overhaul after the bye.

Just can't close out games - efficiency inside 50 was really poor again. It is now 43% efficiency which is bottom four. Inside 50s continue to be good....cant depend on Harry + Charlie kicking 5-6 goals between them .. need goals from smalls as well Ah Chee and Cameron kicked 7 goals between them. If we don't clean up that efficiency inside 50 then no finals for this year.
