Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 17 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond
Last post by DJC -The best I can come up with is that we knew that Richmond would try to exploit their advantage in foot speed and Ollie was meant to help counter that.
Acres is a plodder but he makes up for that with his endurance and anticipation. That enables him to get to contests and, unlike Ollie, he usually has an impact when he gets there.
Ollie wasn’t our worst player by a long shot, but we wouldn’t have missed him if he wasn’t in the team. Hopefully, he’ll be better for the run but I suspect that the Hawks will be happier to match up against Ollie than the Sheriff.
Not playing at the weekend most likely means that Acres will be in the Magoos.
