VFL 2025 Rd 5 Carlton vs Geelong at Carlton

This one is on Sunday at 11:05 at Ikon, a home game for a change.
Geelong are 3rd, without a loss, while we are 18th, without a win. :(
That said, we've been competitive for all but the Southport game, and they're on top and deserve to be.

Maybe we'll see Duffy this week: he's been going through a 'mini-pre-season', apparently, to prepare him for the game.
Live Long and Prosper!

Well, we'll have Pitto playing for a 2nd week, which will help. Now, if we can finish a team off ...
Voss has conformed that Doc will be in the 2's this week. That means we might have a couple of experienced players for a change. H will be in the 1's.

I thought that Hayes was named as an emergency last week before playing what I thought was a BoG performance.  Perhaps his availability won’t be known until the last minute.

Our diminishing injury list is reflected in the number of AFL listed players who will run out for us.

At least one if Young or Cowan will be held over as an onsite emergency for the firsts. No doubt whoever pulls out will cause concern that Weitering is out of the main team, but it won't necessarily  be so, just normal practice .

Pretty even game (on the scoreboard) so far.
All locked up at 21 each at quarter time.
We're ahead in  most of the stats and O'Keefe and Pittonet are giving us good service.

Pittonet throwing his weight around a bit which led to a really good goal to McMahon on one occasion.

Binns going pretty well today.
The commentators are getting into Lemmey bout having no impact so far.
I'm not sure he's been on the ground that much.
He may have even been the sub replacing one of our guys who went off with a heavy knock.
With Pittonet, O'Keefe and McMahon all active there's probably enough talls down forward.

We're out to an 18 point lead.

Dominating atm.
Superb goal from the 50. Moir on his left.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Half-Time
Carlton 6-5-41
Geelong 5-6-36

Binns (15),  Ben Camporeale (14) leading the disposals.
O'Keefe and Pittonet doing well in the ruck. Hitouts our way (23-13)

Not a bad game.

Should have been further in front at half time after letting the Pussycats in for a couple of late goals. 5pts up. According to the commentators something of a swirly wind making for some field errors and pretty ordinary shots on goal.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Campo B, and Moir combine for a nice goal. :D

Ben's 'iffy' disposal might be all that keeps him from getting a senior game in the near future.

Docherty just quietly going about his business. Disposal is much better than we've seen at senior level this year.

...and just when you give him a rap,  a bad turnover in the middle.
