GOALS
Carlton: Ison 2, Moir 2, Young 2, Cottrell, Fogarty, O’Keeffe, Riley, Tucker

BESTS
Carlton: Acres, Saad, Young, Lord, Hewett, Charleson

[1] Lucas C has a quiet one: 13 possessions, 6 tackles and 1 point.
On the other hand, Ben had 27 possessions, 5 tackles, 4 points and 3 clearances.
Lucas was playing a different role, with Chesser and Acres on the wings for most of the night.

[2] Adam Saad: 25 disposals, with 13 handballs - something I don't mind seeing.
Harry Charleson: 23 disposals
Billy Wilson: 21 disposals

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 6 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood
Last post by laj -
Start of the 3rd.   3 very shots at goal that should be converted.   Cerra, Kemp and McKay.    Think Kemp was 30 out slight angle.

Kick those and we are 30 odd points up.   Ball goes down the other end and Elliott goals.

Walsh did similar in the Melbourne game.   Missed a sitter and Langdon goals.

We haven't been able for over 2-3 years been able to stop of slow the momentum and concede 3-5 goals quickly.   
That happens so often, and often in the 3rd qtr that we attack, kick point after point, then the other goes forward once, kicks a goal and we seems to drop our heads, allowing a flow of goals.

Acres (31), Hewett (29+9 tackles), Lord (31+11 tackles), Young ( 21 +2 goals)  all did well.
Ison coming along nicely.
If only Ben C could kick ::) (0 goals 4 behinds) and his field kicking isn't any better.

Flynn Riley may be a better ruckman that both Reidy and HOK.

Given the current thinking around our midfield it's probably going to be one of Hewett or Lord...and the younger man may well get the nod.
.

Maybe Ben Campo might get a go soon as he knows how to get it. Never mind his kicking, we won't lose anything from it....haha.

Those four should all come in IMO and maybe Moir?
Outs: McKay Byrne Elijah Hollands Ollie Hollands Evans
Did I also hear Gov was injured late in the game?
Gov is one going well this year and filling a key role forward. Without McKay next week I hope Gov is ok.  Frankie missed a bit of pre season. I never thought he was quite right when he come in. Might be good for him to have a run in the twos for Flynn toung to get his fitness back up. One thing like like about Frankie is his footy IQ and ball use. Those later games last year were elite, so hopefully get him fit then back to that.
