Also remiss not to give a huge shout out to Hayward! Seems like hes a mouthy little
Mongrel and i love it! We have been wanting some players with a bit of energy about them - hes our guy!

Absolutely, MO. The players also speak highly of his energy. He's a ripper inclusion to our group... Plus, he works his clacker off every week.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I thought all of our kids are showing good signs in either firsts or reserves. Made me wonder why Austin and Agresta got the flick?

Unfortunately, not all the kids in the Magoos and some recruits actually aren't coming along as well as we might have hoped... nor delivering consistent strong efforts - Moir, Ben Campo, Reidy, Chesser, Irish boys...

Wright was working with Austin during last year's draft and trade period so I doubt he was judged on that.

I think it was more about how he handled the salary cap where we never had room to recruit anyone.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

I posted this in another thread, but probably should be here.

Just as an aside, i don't know if anyone saw it but deep in the last quarter there was a stoppage on the far side forward flank/wing.
May even have been in the last few minutes.
Cripps was in there directing traffic like a captain should.
His main focus was telling Harry to go back, essentially clog up space.
He starts waddling back with very little urgency. Cripps yells at him again to clear out and go back. He hears him but barely makes it out of a walk.

Ball is brought back into play and someone gets the clearance, camera goes to a wide shot where you can see Harry still slowly wandering back, now about 30m off the contest, back to the ball in no mans land.
Thankfully the ball went our way and he was not required but this REALLY bothered me because.....

1. The game was on the line, show some bloody urgency
2. The captain had to tell you, at least twice, and you still couldn't do it.
3. You had your back to the ball and it could've been kicked to you and the moment you realised was when it hits you in the back of the head.
4. Had we have lost the game, i guarantee you that would've been highlighted as to how we lost it.

Now i appreciate Harry had worked hard and is playing more ruck than he is used to over the past month, but from a senior player, that was very poor and i expect better and the rest of the playing group should demand better.

I just rewatched the last few minutes and the stoppage in question started with 19 seconds left on the clock.
The stoppage started from Harry working hard pushing forward along the boundary line. So he was definitely tired.

However, you can clearly see he could not find it within himself to run out the final 19 seconds.
It very much could've been the difference between winning and losing.

Watch here....

Wanted the replay:
- Fraser is ridiculously calm and composed.
- We defended very well all night (def50, mid of ground, fwd50)
- We are very crafty with some set play work particularly I50 stoppages.
- I am seeing a little bit of nastiness about the way we play, especially Walsh, Dean and Cowan (me like).
- Ison's quick hands result in two goals (Young and Hayward). The kid is all Class (with a capital C).
- We turned it around by beating Geel at there game (forcing TO's and scoring from them).
- I heard Whately say a couple of time "making it up as they go". I disagree, we were scanning for better options instead of blazing away long or looking for changes of angle.
- Our ground ball work is elite, has been for a while. We have to tidy up the finishing.
- Is Cerra to the wing a master stroke?


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

Maybe I little of topic, but did was anyone listening to Crunh time on SEN on Sat morning??
If not go and have a listen. Gerald Whatley basicly apologies to Cripps without saying sorry.
I am sure he was one of te media who wanted Cripps traded.
Anyone whta a game and Go Blues

Like to see Ben C get a run later on if it is possible. He's consistently doing a good job in the twos. Disposal is ok as long as he handballs...lol. His only issue, with the type of player he is, is that is has so many ahead of him. So might not be possible. The boys are polar opposite types from their old man in playing style.

Agree Scott is what we need and Ben is what we have plenty of, Lucas looked good in his first game but since hasnt fired a shot or has been injured and wingman are a dime a dozen in any draft or trade week.
I have a soft spot for father/sons so I dont want them delisted but if their surname wasnt Camporeale you would be moving them on more than likely...
