VFL Rd 3 2026 Carlton vs North Melbourne at Arden St.

April 02, 2026, 08:57:55 pm

Our line-up for this week;

B:   74 Logan Prout   26 Nick Haynes   42 Adam Saad
HB:   28 Harry Charleson   15 Billy Wilson   34 Rob Monahan
C:   31 Campbell Chesser 50 Darcy Tucker   13 Blake Acres
HF:   8 Lachie Fogarty   21 Lucas Camporeale   30 Jack Ison
F:   45 Flynn Young   40 Hudson O'Keeffe   43 Ashton Moir
R:   25 Liam Reidy   16 Ben Camporeale   46 Matthew Cottrell
Int:   58 Jack Sammartino   77 Will Cookson   67 Tom Evans   61 Dane Harvey   70 Darcy Hogg

No idea who the Emergencies are, as at least one will be required.

[1] 16 listed players, although only 14 or 15 will play. At least one of the Emergencies won't be playing. Which one? Good question.

[2] We look very short in defence. Haynes at FB says it all. Phillips looks off to the 'Aints

so he's not there. Paea is injured amd we don't have many tall defenders (or forwards) anyway.

[3] I'm hoping that Reidy and O'Keefe make a serious contribution tomorrow, especially as they are the only talls we really have. Reidy was disappointing last week, especially in the 1st half. After half time he didn't get many taps, but he did get it a fair bit around the ground. He has some strengths, so it is about time he showed us them.
O'Keefe won't have a great key defender on him either, so he hopefully can get some form back. We need him taking grabs.

[4] I'm not surprised to see Saad and Acres still here this week. They were clearly short of a gallop last week and on limited minutes. Both will probably play most of the game this week.
Wilson and Cottrell will also be considerably better for the run. Hopefully, they can step up.

[5] Tucker was pretty ordinary last week, especially considering that he did most of the pre-season. I hope he can show something against his old club. One thing in his favour is that HOK and Reidy probably will be more effective this week.

[6] Who is going to kick our goals?

All three emergencies are playing in the Magoos.

Lost it in the end, probably from inaccuracy as much as anything given the scores. but I only saw half the last quarter.
Final scores
Nth Melb 17-8-110 def Carlton 14-15-99

Young and Ison 3 goals each-commentators were quite impressed with Young’s game -18 disposals to go with his three goals
Wilson, Ben C and Lucas C were the top possession winners with 21 each.
Reidy looks to have dominated the rucks but also picked up 20 disposals around the ground.
Didn’t notice Saad in the time I was watching but he had 18. Injured or taken off early-not sure.
Haynes seemed to injure his arm right at the end of the game so that’s a bit of a watch.

Someone who saw the whole game will be better placed to comment on the individual performances.

Dunno if my mate is there but he texted me saying we were rubbish. Then again, he is known to exaggerate.

Are there any late change whispers floating around?
