Robert Heatley Stand / VFL Rd 2 2026 Carlton vs Williamstown
Last post by crashlander -According to the CFC website, we haven't beaten Williamstown yet in our present iteration of the 2nds, so I hope we can make history.
We should have most of our senior list players available, which will be interesting.

Last post by crashlander -We won, but we kicking 1 goal after half time was problematic.
Trends:
[1] There were 15 voters this round, after a similar showing in the previous round. This is much better than we managed last year.
Please do voteplease do vote, win, lose or draw: it is something we appreciate and it makes our statistics a lot more reliable. And our statistics hold up pretty well when it comes to John Nicholls Medal night!
[2] The rating was a 7.69, which represents a C-, is a considerable improvement after last week, but still something that needs improving.
[3] 13 players managed a mention this week, two less than last week. These days, we often get 16+ for a decent win, but this wasn't a decent win.
[4] The average vote this week was 25, which again shows significant dissatisfaction with the result and the effort after half time.
[5] 3 players managed 100 votes or more this week. This is the same as last week, but the totals suggest our better players were more effective.
[6] Jagga Smith was BOG this round with 254 votes; congratulations, youngster! He was followed by Sam Walsh with 233 and Patrick Cripps with 187.
[7] One player managed votes from everyone this week, Jagga Smith. Walsh missed from 1 voter, while Cripps missed from 2.
[8] The distribution of votes this week suggested that we had a more rounded performance across the board, rather than only getting something from the youngsters. Our mids were particularly strong, with 3 of them being the best 3 players on the ground.
[9] Looking at the youngsters, Jagga Smith stood out. Matt Carroll was also significant.

Sam Walsh is the early leader, ahead of Jagga Smith. Pitto in 3rd says something.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Carltons list changes needed to chase flag 17
Last post by laj -Voss showed he hadn't and get left behind with an outdated game plan. Unlike others, I think our list isn't too bad but not the right person to to drive it. For years our attitude hasn't been consistently good, generally poor. We can tend to give up pretty easily. When all that happens people everywhere tend to revert to "poor list" when it's not always the case. We've generally been a bad club inside and out for 25 years, bar some odd years, especially under Ratten. Doesn't matter how good your list is, that situation means you do no good.Skill level has always been an issue and the brand we play is terrible to watch.
We started with a rebuild then they gave us Bolton, Teague and Voss to take charge of it. A Hardwick-type may have been different. He got 2 sides with ordinary attitudes too fire brilliantly.
The gap is getting wider between the best and worst teams imo in terms of quality of football being played.
Right now our brand of footy is horrible. The Richmond game made my eyes bleed watching it.
