Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Jim Park Voting AFL Rd 23 2026 Carlton vs Western Bulldogs
Last post by crashlander -Team: B
Rather a high rating for a game we didn’t win, but we played a team in the finals at their best. And, for much of the game, we looked better. We usually struggled against the Dogs, so the result was worthwhile.

[2] Sam Walsh: Robin wasn’t far behind Batman: 33 possessions and some elite running.
[2] Will Hayward: Three great goals, a mark of the year contender, we really missed him when he couldn’t continue.

[0.5] Harry McKay: Not a huge game, but he took some great marks and kicked some great goals.
