Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 5 2026 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide

Wet night in Adelaide... so...
We replace a suspended quickish half forward with an out of form tall... leaving out a smart, in-form, half forward. How can anyone not see the logic in that  ::)
We replace a concussed Weiters with an aging, struggling for form intercept backman.
We replace Hewett with Williams, I guess, which makes some sense.

Perplexed: Perplexed is an adjective describing someone who is utterly confused, baffled, or puzzled, often combined with a sense of anxiety or uncertainty.

I've said similar so no issues there.

However i must point out I've issue.
Who do you want to bring in to cover weitering? Cupboard is not only bare, its pencilled in as backup FB.

Dean is out.
Weitering is out
Ofarrell is out.
Young is in
Derkson is in.

Kenp is in
Mcgovern is in
Mckay is in
Okeefe is in

Only tall not playing is reidy the ruck.

So not sure what you are hoping for.



Kemp for Weitering
Flynn Y for Hayward
Williams for Hewett.

Hewett was dropped for his last quarter efforts on LDU I believe.
Harsh call, hopefully it doesn’t backfire resulting in a poor performance from the group, can’t see a good result coming from tonight.

Voting is as usual: you have 15 votes to award pretty much as you will, with the following provisos:
[1] 15 votes in total, no more, no less.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Sam Walsh or Patrick Cripps)
[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.

Are we allergic to midfielders?

We lost lord....and didnt replace him.
We drop hewett....and dont replace him.

Both are negative....which we need.
Both are slow, i get it.

But surely we need to bring in other midfielders?

Also getting taller and slower with the other ins, which i cant think is a good thing.

Not really sure what the plan is or whether it will work.....but at least we appear to be trying 'something.'

Trust in Voss mate.  :-X

We have a kid who is in great form in the 2nds and has some leg speed and goal sense that deserved a spot in a underperforming team but no the geniuses at PP recall a slow lumbering tall in HOK that has not exactly set the world on fire at either level

We are so slow across the ground and again do SFA to address it except of course dropping our reigning B & F winner.

We are a shambles on all levels 

Crows by 10 plus.  


That's 10 goals? Isn't it?
I mean we are playing in Adelaide against the Cows
