Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 20 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane at Marvel
Last post by Lods -It was 8 kicks to 21 handballs though...still.
Ollie Florent 26 (19 kicks) at 92.3%
Cooper Lord 24 (18 kicks) at 95.8%
We have Kemp Harry McGovern as key forwards with haywood as a mid marking forward so imo we are probably a tad tall with that line up - reckon we could get by with 2 talls and using another mid marking forward then either kemp or mcgovern would be the depth key forward.
Its not easy to have quality key positions depth capable of performing impacting just sitting idle playing 2nds footy waiting for their chance.
No list is perfect and sure ours is not but imo its not anywhere near as bad as some make it out to be.
The reason the list needs work is because we have holes.
Sure, everyone has holes.
But, some holes we have no cover for.
Imagine we had a good run with injuries, and were like Freo, sitting pretty on top of the ladder. Then we lose a couple players in key areas, which leads to poor results, which leads to more injuries, etc Season gone.
Won't/Can't happen?
Remember when we were 2 games clear in 2nd place a few years ago? Its already happened.....and we are more susceptable to that kind of fall now.
If we lost Harry and lost Kemp......how could we cover them?
you said the same about weitering yet 2 kids with under 20 games are covering.
You looking at everything with a negative lens mate. prior to last year you were the complete opposite and you has excuse after excuse lied up for every poor performance - so its hard to take your posts seriously at the moment as you seem to be more concerned with having your opinion being correct above anything else.

he is doing well in the new role but equally makes you appreciate the holding down of key posts the 2 kids in dean and dersken are doing ad that is not easy and they have held up extremely well considering neither have played 20 games!
