VFL Rd 9 2026 Carlton vs Coburg at Coburg

Set for this Sunday at 13:05 at Coburg.
We'll probably have our Emergencies available, considering that the seniors play on Saturday night.

Flynn Riley will probably not be playing, as he has a high chance of being selected by someone else in the MSD. At this point we have no selections in the MSD, as it looks like we expect Harry O'Farrell to play later in the season.

What we do about Elijah Hollands hangs over that as well.

We are presently 2nd on the ladder, playing 13th. However, Coburg defeated us last year at Coburg.
Live Long and Prosper!

HOF playing later this season is great for us and the kid.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Players need the carrot to work toward, no goal, no drive.

NEW: Tom Howard, 22, 182cm, St Pauls McKinnon


Potential new player: Tom Howard
Howard played a few games for Sandringham Dragons back in 2023 and wasn't one of those who made the headlines. Seems to be a mainstay for his local club.

[1] Only 13 listed players named this week, the lowest we've had all season. Still, looks a reasonable team on paper.

[2] It seems reasonable that our senior Emergencies will play on Sunday, but we have clearly prepared for that not to happen. We have named Flynn Riley, for example, as an Emergency.

[3] Adam Saad clearly did not come up. A pity, as his leadership would be more than useful for the VFL guys.

[4] Heath Ramshaw and Joel Trudgeon playing for Coburg. Both have been in good form. Wish them well on any other day, but not Sunday.

[5] Interesting to see how we use Walker for the rest of the year. Supposed a 23rd player can only play 4 games.
Live Long and Prosper!
