VFL Rd 8 2026 Carlton vs Footscray at Carlton

May 14, 2026, 10:19:49 pm

We play on Saturday at 12:05 at home.

Team isn't available yet.
We're actually above this mob on the ladder at the moment. They've killed us recently.
One, maybe two Emergencies will probably not play, as the seniors are on in the evening.

Our line-up:

B:   41 Matt Duffy   33 Lewis Young   47 Wade Derksen
HB:   28 Harry Charleson   37 Jordan Boyd   74 Logan Prout
C:   36 Cooper Lord   46 Matthew Cottrell   13 Blake Acres
HF:   8 Lachie Fogarty   39 Talor Byrne   70 Darcy Hogg
F:   43 Ashton Moir   40 Hudson O'Keeffe   45 Flynn Young
R:   25 Liam Reidy   31 Campbell Chesser   16 Ben Camporeale
Int:   59 Cooper Vickery   62 Oliver Warburton   58 Jack Sammartino   76 Cody Walker 60 Will Reinhold   64 Archie Stevens   61 Dane Harvey   53 Ollie Badr   51 Jaiden Magor   67 Tom Evans   65 Jed Rule   56 Flynn Riley
Em:   77 Will Cookson

[1] 16 AFL Blues named, maybe 14 will play. I doubt all the Emergencies will, or we wouldn't have named such a long bench.

[2] I expect Derksen to line up forward. Assuming Harvey plays, we look somewhat better balanced.

[3] Nice to see Cody Walker named again. he has shown plenty in his 2 showing so far.

[4] Prout and Sammartino have shown plenty this season.

Byrne, Derksen, Moir, and Reidy are all prominent early in this game.
We're in front early 2-2-14 v 2-0-12
It's pretty free flowing aat the moment.
Not a lot of pressure.
Derksen playing defence and intercepting well at the moment

Crazy for a kid, but Walker looks a class above everyone else...he's AFL ready.

Fogarty showing why he is playing VFL.

Yet another miss 30m our directly in front.

Not good enough for a small forward. Should be delisted at the end of the year.

Ollie Warburton may be worth a watch.
Took a really nice grab in that first quarter and kicked a goal.

He comes from a Carlton family (grandfather and great grandfather playes seniors for Carlton and dad played reserves)

10 shots to 5. Should be well in front. Bet our defensive game tightens up in the 2nd qtr.

They're getting some easy goals, some end to end stuff.
They seem to have plenty of space in their forward line

Reidy doing well in the ruck.
Derksen doing well with the intercept marks (7 marks so far)
Moir has a double, scores are level.

Burner does everything really well except kick straight. If he can become reliable in front of goal, we will have a beauty there.

72 to 59 our way at the 18min mark of the 3rd

HOK has kicked probably the goal of the year off lying on his back in the goal square
