Carlton Supporters Club

sadly he would likely be going better in another clubs system.

I dont know how the pies do it.  Every player they bring in seems to be even at worst a vanilla flavoured contributor that makes good decisions and is a good athlete/competitor.  We haven't turned a prospect into a player since zach tuohy.

That was a very undermanned, inexperienced Richmond outfit and for all the AFL experience and high numbers of some individuals, we still couldn't put them away. Don't read too much into the form line from this one..... I could have got a kick out there. More positives for Tigers.

Watched the reserves and actually found it to be slightly depressing given we struggled to beat a no-name Richmond side at home.

Sam Durdin was probably our best and is a solid backup if one of Young or Weitering were to get injured.

Other than that it’s Dow, Obrien, Kemp, Carroll and Cincotta, however the last three of that list continue to make a lot of mistakes that would directly result in goals at AFL level, so unfortunately there’s not a lot to turn to this week.

Whilst not like for like, it will be interesting to see if they finally give Dow a go ahead of Honey, Curnow or Fisher.

Lemmey, Binns, Akuei, Mirkov seem to be a way off, but all could develop into very good players.

I watched the last few mins of the second qtr and all of the second half, I didn't get any of your doom and gloom.
Senior Listed Players were:
D.Akeui    S.Durdin   B.Kemp   A.Cincotta J.Binns   L.Fogarty   L.O'Brien J.Carroll   H.Lemmey  Alex Mirkov   P.Dow  H.O'Keeffe
I thought all did fairly well in a tight contest. Standouts where Mirkov Durdin Cincotta Kemp Fog.  Dow and Binns were next in line, LOB Started off well then dropped off disposal quality wise for mine.

Id like to see Cincotta and Fogarty as ins this week....

Didn't Cunners play last week??

I watched the entire game and we really should have won by a lot more.

Durdin, Kemp and Cincotta were great in defence and I think that we would have done better on Thursday night with Kemp in for McGovern and Cincotta for Docherty.  Both deserve promotion, as does Durdin, but Weitering and Young aren't going anywhere.

Dow was good and played more accountable footy.  The problem is that already have too many midfielders playing similar footy.

Binns was good too and I wouldn't mind seeing him have a run in the ones.  Perhaps Hollands could do with a freshen up.  Fogarty was very good.  He is a smart footballer who creates opportunities and makes the most of them.  He would have to be pushing hard to displace one of Fisher, Durdin and Motlop. O'Brien's best was good but he's still making too many skill errors and/or poor decisions.  Another week in the magoos for him.

Mirkov didn't have much opposition but you can only play against the blokes the other mob puts on the park.  I reckon he'd be worth a run if Pitto doesn't get up.

Lemmey and O'Keeffe both did some good things and I think they've both got potential.  Akeui is a conundrum; he looks a million dollars then fumbles a simple mark.  His teammates certainly aren't reluctant to kick to him suggesting that he is a lot surer at training.  Perhaps it's confidence ... or playing at night.

Carroll did some nice things but he needs to do a lot more of them!

Been saying for weeks to play Fogarty, he isn't stylish but tackles well and is a honest blue collar player who would be handy vs the Stkilda Dockers ....
