Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2026 Pre Game Predictions Carlton vs Fremantle in Perth

Thirty-One when next year starts.
I think he's worth more to us than we'd get for him in a trade.
Having said that, another club may pick him up and he'll win their B+F. ::)  ::)

I think he would fit well into another midfield that need a contested bull type but have the other pieces ie The Crows.
Jack Steele has become that player at Melbourne...

Hewett for Thilthorpe ;)

Win/Win :D  :D

A sad reality. And then we ask about Crippa?

Rumours Hewett will be on the trade table at seasons end given he only has one year left on his contract...

I can understand moving on from Acres, his shoulders are shot and his disposal is diabolical. He has a huge engine and will work his ass off but I'm afraid in an age where kicking is king, it rules him out.
George I cant understand, he is a better option than Cerra in my view, the coaching staff see it different.

Can I just add this on disposal, running around in front of 2-3K people is a different kettle of fish to the pressure of needing to perform in front of 70-80K blood thirsty fans.

I wish I could understand the logic behind not selecting Hewitt & Acres after so many losses!!!

He had two shocking disposal attempts last weekend, I'm mean they were so bad I'm surprised he even made contact with the footy!

What is the golfing term, shanked, chunked?

In both cases I think he was 5m clear of anybody else, they are coach killing moments, so I could understand the hesitance. As I mentioned in the VFL thread, we should have won that game by 15 goals, but instead we limped over the line looking very average.

Hewett won our B+F last year.
We want to get Cody Walker as cheaply as possible.

Take out your B+F winner and results will suffer and you'll get Walker cheaper.

or to be put simply....
Tanking.



Now i don't actually believe that, but i'm a bit surprised to see Lord back instead of Hewett as they are similar style players with Hewett (clearly) being better at this stage.


They do play Lord on the wing.    While he is a inside mid, in the MC's mind he is more versatile than George.
