Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 1 2026 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond

I don't get all the hate for boyd.
Clearly not rated by the mc.
Not well liked by our own supporters.

I don't know if it's got to do with him painting his nails or something equally nonsensical, but a his user of the ball who likes getting physical and flying the flag is something we could use at afl level right now.

To me he looks to play better at afl level. Maybe it's the pristine surfaces of afl over vfl that helps his kicking, but given newman, saad, cowan, carroll (williams?) All out and/or struggling....give him a go

I use stats to back my argumwnt, not form my argument.

Get the ball in the hands of both and Jagga and Lord and out your life on the line of them finding a teammate.
99% will pick jagga.
The 1% who pick lord will not know who Jagga is or be related to Lord.  ;)

Im not on a witch hunt. Elijah was by far the worst user of the ball, lord may have been next

Machettes were involved again. Word is the 22 YO deceased man was not part of the initial fight between the teenagers but stepped in to try to deescalate things. Terrible and reality is 3 out 4 are under 18 so very likely will be out on bail walking the streets in coming days.

Police station is literally 300m from where this occurred but due to cuts is no longer manned 24hr.

I was coming home from the f1 on that very train line an hour after that happened and got off a couple stops before then.
Had my 10yo with me.

Word i had was the 22yo was a security guard, but not sure.

They have arrested 4 people 16-18yos for the murder.

Reports from other places from the VFL practice (just opinions and pretty lukewarm in most cases)

Good (fair)
Derksen
Camporeales
Byrne
Charleson (early)

OKs
Boyd
The Irish boys
F Young

Not so good
O'Keefe
Cowan (may be reported)

Bit of a mixture -Carroll and Acres. (probably need another run)

No-one really staking a big claim, which was disappointing but Derksen, Boyd and Byrne suggested as possibles.
O'keefe not coming on at the moment is a bit disappointing.
