VFL Rd 21 2025 Carlton vs Footscray at Footscray

We finish our season against the Dogs, who are 2nd, on Sunday at 12:05 at Footscray.
We are not favoured to win (have I ever written such an understatement? Somehow, I doubt it).

CARLTON
B: M. McGovern (11), E. Phillips (55), M. Duffy (41)
HB: H. Charleson (28), J. Boyd (37), R. Monahan (34)
C: C. Vickery (59), J. Binns (25), L. Camporeale (21)
HF: D. Hogg (70), L. Nelson (57), W. White (38)
F: O. Fantasia (14), E. Hollands (20), H. Lemmey (31)
R: M. Pittonet (27), A. Cincotta (39), H. Ramshaw (51)
INT: N. King (63), O. Badr (72), S. Phipps-Parsons (69), K. Ferronato (50), D. Harvey (73)
23rd Player: N. King (63)
EMG: O. Warburton (78), O. Poole (75), A. Stevens (77), D. Ayres (71), F. Riley (56), Z. Harding (60), C. Hamilton (80), P. Dozzi (53)

IN: N. King, H. Lemmey, W. White
OUT: Z. Harding, W. Hayes, S. Paea (unavailable)

Marking targets? A good question. Lemmey is back, but he is the only big fellow out there on our forward line.
Our defence is also lacking height. Isn't that a change! (Sarcasm doesn't work well with plain text)

FOOTSCRAY BULLDOGS
B: Z. Walker (41), L. Jones (19), T. Duryea (15)
HB: L. Jaques (11), N. Coffield (17), M. Sellwood (37)
C: L. Kennedy (35), A. Treloar (1), A. Scott (28)
HF: A. Jones (32), B. Khamis (24), C. Craig-Peters (61)
F: L. Smith (40), W. Lewis (64), J. Kellett (57)
R: R. Gardner (43), C. Hynes (6), C. Poulter (25)
INT: B. Crofts (54), D. Orgill (50), P. Spicer (63), E. Macpherson (59), H. Hayes (74)
23rd Player: H. Hayes (74)
EMG: E. Hunt (56), D. Cuningham (51), L. Muratore (68), B. Young (67), T. Maple (65)

IN: H. Hayes, C. Poulter, P. Spicer, A. Treloar
OUT: J. Croft (AFL), J. Dolan (concussion), L. Muratore, L. Ramshaw (omitted)
NEW: Henry Hayes, 19, 190cm, Dandenong Stingrays/Rye

They have 15 AFL listed players.
Live Long and Prosper!

Agree....Good size and has a bit of style and forward craft.
I like Warburton too, that kid is a competitor and he should be in the team not an emergency. Every time I see him play he is a contributor, doesnt lose a contest and gets better.
Badr is another I want to see more of as well, can find the footy and make things happen.

I did see all 3 of them do a training session after yesterday's match so given we play again Thursday potentially it was just about keeping them fresh.

Dogs are sitting 2nd in the vfl, haven't lost since round 8.

We are being smashed by their afl listed players, our vfl listed players are amongst our best performers and therein lies why we arent going to get close to beating them.  Liam Jones, khamis and treloar doing the damage for them.  Our best contain Ethan Phillips, ferronato, Hogg. 

Cincotta doing some hard work defensively, and hollands busy but not impactful.

Too much left to too few.  Guys have continued plugging away, binns and campo have positioned themselves well defensively at times but when its one way traffic its one way traffic.

Lemmey has done the odd good thing.  Hollands and Fantasia probably our besr afl listed players.  Cincotta involved a lot in play but not getting near the footy.

Jordan boyds possessions mainly cheapies out of thr kick outs.  He's kicked it long and well enough when he's used it but im not impressed by his game at all.

Sheesh. The less said about that game the better. Dogs kicked 21.20, so it could've been much worse.

Oh dear. An inauspicious way to end 2025. Nuff said.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Boyd is missing too many passes.  If he's not going to nail a pinpoint kick, he should go for a safer option.
It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

Out of contract and most likely been told they will never play AFL for carlton again.
Understandable.
