Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 0 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney
Last post by Lods -
i read a few quotes from Chad Warner saying that Sydney went in with a specific plan of exploiting "our lack of outside run." I'd be curious to know why it took nearly 2.5 quarters to put this plan into effect.

There's a theory going around that they paced themselves in the first half and held a bit in reserve  absorbing the best we could throw at them. It was curious how they held Papley back. The commentators seem to know the minute he would be injected into the game.
We tired noticeably in  the third term and they ran over us. It seemed to align pretty much with Docherty's comments about how we play.

Nah
You've got a set on him for some reason. ;)  :D
We've had our differences over the summer.
I mentioned at one stage I thought Lord and Wilson would be players that improved this year.
You seem to have taken an opposite view for both of them..
Have a look at our B& F voting for this game.
Lord features.
You'll give these guys a a serve when they do do something poorly and ignore them when they do something well.
Prove me wrong. ;)

Answer me this. Has he improved in his last 2 seasons?

He's still the tough nut.
He's still going to give you his all.
His minutes has improved due to personnel and circumstances, but has he?

You say i have something against him (and Wilson).
I say you have navy blue glasses on when viewing them.

I had similar conversations about Jaxon Binns last year and was told the same thing.
Remind me how he is going this year?  :-[

The kids are 20 kruds.
You would have had Kade Simpson and Bruce Doull off to the knackery at similar stages of their careers.
To answer  your question...yep, both are improving.
I'd have Wilson before Saad, and Lord before Acres and Cerra too. They are too unreliable in terms of lasting a game at the moment.

I use stats to back my argumwnt, not form my argument.

Get the ball in the hands of both and Jagga and Lord and out your life on the line of them finding a teammate.
99% will pick jagga.
The 1% who pick lord will not know who Jagga is or be related to Lord.  ;)

Im not on a witch hunt. Elijah was by far the worst user of the ball, lord may have been next

I don't get all the hate for boyd.
Clearly not rated by the mc.
Not well liked by our own supporters.

I don't know if it's got to do with him painting his nails or something equally nonsensical, but a his user of the ball who likes getting physical and flying the flag is something we could use at afl level right now.

To me he looks to play better at afl level. Maybe it's the pristine surfaces of afl over vfl that helps his kicking, but given newman, saad, cowan, carroll (williams?) All out and/or struggling....give him a go
Id have Boyd in for the injured Saad..
