Yep over Cerra, too much jogging behind the play but not in it, zero impact

Time to try George or Ben C or Coops.

Really worried for Smith...don't see why we gave up two firsts for a very small accumulating midfielder .

Agree with Cerra and giving campo boys a decent block of games but think young Jagga is already being thrown out to the wolves and expected to be the man. He has played 5 games.

Did anyone see the vision of Cerra last week when he had no idea where to be at a ball up - it happened several times - if he an experienced player is confused God help young Smith to know what to do in the heat of battle. 

He needs time and hopefully with the new coach he is developed properly as he will be a star i think
Lucas got a lacerated, so he's earned himself a few days in hospital. Ben is in concussion protocols.

Looking at the replay, trying to get a better sense of what happened.
1st Quarter:
Carlton 1 - 6 - 12
Collingwood 0 - 4 - 4

Not an impressive quarter from either team. Lots of turnovers, lots of simple errors, lots of less than perfect decisions. Remind you of anything?
[1] Lucas C may not have had a great night, especially with how it turned out, but he does have a very nice pair of hands. He took a couple of nice marks. Still needs to work on his pace and his disposal.
[2] We should have got more goals. Our lack of key forwards and our inability to find forwards was still obvious. But we did seem to lead more than we do in the seniors.
[3] Harry Charleson had a great term: 10 disposals and 3 intercept marks. I still think he might make it, if he is given the chance.
[4] Jack Ison's disposal: it really stood out in a rather messy quarter. I want to see more.
[5] Duffy did a pretty good job in defence. Collingwood had a tall forward line, but we controlled their forwards quite well. Duffy was the most obvious tall defender, ad he only turned it over once.
[6] Monahan appears to be growing into the game. He had maybe 7 or 8 possessions and really ran hard to attack and defend. His disposal was ordinary early, which was disappointing. In the pre-season it was pretty good.
[7] Bryn Teakel was emergency for the VFL in the state game last week and Flynn Riley beat both him and Smit pretty well. Using his leap as well as his height, which impressed me.
[8] Ben C knows how to get it, but he needs to work on his pace and his kicking. He got run down again in the 1st quarter.

He did lods.  I spotted him 4th quarter.  There wasn't much in it.

He vomited before he came off.
Then he left the field bent at around 45 degrees sideways holding his side.
Now we learn he had a lacerated kidney.

Now without being on the sidelines we're not really in a position to judge the medical assessment and the approval for him to return to the field.
But I suspect it's going to be portrayed as a second 'faliure' of the club in 24 hours to deal with a medical incident.

Club Statement regarding Hollands

https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/1997473/club-statement-elijah-hollands
I take what CFC says these days with a grain of salt,  they aren't much better at telling the truth than politicians.    I hope the AFL and AFLPA ensure this is investigated thoroughly and honestly,   Hollands and CFC members/supporters deserve that as a minimum.

I really dont know what you expect them to say. Do people want to hear a story that just mightn't be there?
