Robert Heatley Stand / Re: How will we line up in 2025.
Blue Moon....that lineup is very close to what I'd have....but I'd have Fogarty before Smith though. Fogarty was very good last year until he got injured and plays a very important role.

If Cerra does a hammy I'll spew!! Even when he came back the last time his form was terrible so wouldn't have thought he deserved a game on the back of any great form. Would've rather gone with Carroll or Lord.

Who knows, we might all be made to look stupid in about two and a half hours......but highly unlikely IMHO.

Not sure I can work that out? If he's fit, he plays?

So, who's the tall forward option when Harry rucks for short periods?

It might've worked against WCE and Saints, but hard to see us manufacturing enough goals. And if Neale gets off the chain, we'll be scratching our heads and asking the question about why Cincotta wasn't in the team to try to tag him.

I'd rather have Moir in than Martin....it's make or break. If we managed to win, then maybe Martin for the next game but he's broken down twice this year after coming back from injuries. Moir to me looks like a freakish sort who might be low possession but high impact for now (a bit like Martin). Motlop is probably saved by the fact that Owies is out.

As for Doc, hard to know but the team lifting impact could be huge....a handy sub option.

And as much as Young has copped flak, I think we need him down back against one of Hipwood or Daniher.

Magnificent team win with some individual highlights too. Pittonet was huge. I genuinely thought both Williams' would work him over around the big ground but he stuck to his guns, broke even in the hitouts but was huge around the ground as well.

Weitering's effort on completely shutting Oscar Allen out of the game was big too. Allen was coming off 5 match winning goals last week against North and was hardly sighted.

Hewett's non-selection for a few weeks was hard to fathom and he showed why he's such an important player. He looks to have a low centre of gravity and hardly ever goes to ground and breaks tackles or gets his arms up and gets rid of the ball when he is tackled.

And Cripps....might be the 3 votes that clinches him another Brownlow. He is a beast and any thoughts that some had about trading him out should be put to bed now. He is Carlton through and through and is there to lead the club to a flag.

While finals are still mathematically possible, a team like the Hawks deserves that spot way more than we do...simple as that. With 6 players likely to be missing from last weekend, there's not much left to choose from so lets have a look at Moir, Lemmey, Binns, Wilson, Carroll.....even Mirkov. He couldn't be any worse than Pittonet's been in the last month.
