VFL Rd 11 2026 Carlton vs Drug Cheats away

This game is set for Sunday afternoon at Windy Hill :( at 14:05.
We've lost our way the last couple of weeks, while the Drug Cheats won last week.

No idea yet as to what our lineup will be like. But one of our Emergencies will definitely not play, maybe 2.
Live Long and Prosper!

Our lineup for tomorrow:

B:   41 Matt Duffy   33 Lewis Young   47 Wade Dersksen  (This will change, as Derksen is already been placed into the seniors.)
HB:   28 Harry Charleson   37 Jordan Boyd   42 Adam Saad
C:   36 Cooper Lord   46 Matt Cottrell   59 Cooper Vickery
HF:   8 Lachie Fogarty   70 Darcy Hogg   6 Zac Williams
F:   43 Ashton Moir   40 Hudson O'Keefe   58 Jack Sammartino
R:   38 Flynn Riley   31 Campbell Chesser   16 Ben Camporeale
Int:   66 Sam Paea   68 Taj Logan   74 Logan Prout   62 Ollie Warburton   75 Liam Farrar  
Em:   64 Archie Stevens   69 Cooper Hamilton   61 Dane Harvey   57 Alwyn Davey (jnr)   67 Tom Evans   77 Will Cookson   78 Tyson Gresham   65 Jed Rule

[1] 15 AFL listed Blues named, but only 12 or 13 will probably play. Derksen is already in seniors, replacing Weitering. One of the other subs will probably not play.
Dane Harvey will probably come in: he has been quite reasonable as a key defender this year.

[2] Interesting to see how Riley goes now that he is a listed player. It will take a while getting used to him in 38 after having him in 57.

[3] A pity that Magor and Reinhold are unavailable. They looked good earlier. Hopefully, they won't be out for long.

[4] Structurally, I still think our side is a work in progress. I think Paea will help: he was as impressive as Derksen was in the pre-season and might have got the spot if he hadn't been injured. That said, I don't expect him to start like a house on fire: knee injuries take a while to recover from. But having more marking targets won't hurt us in the least.

[5] I am worried about Hudson O'Keefe. He isn't getting time in the ruck and he isn't hitting the scoreboard. If any of our rucks is under the most pressure, it would be him.

[6] We are probably expected to win, but Essendon won last week. I hope we turn up this week.
Live Long and Prosper!

Quarter time in the VFL

Essendon leading 6-0 -36 to Carlton 3-3-21

Fogarty (11 disposals) and Ben C (10) getting plenty of the ball.
Fogarty playinhg more as midfielder, Moir also playing well away for goal
Riley winning most of the ruck contests but we don't seem to be getting a big advantage.

Cooper Lord...a  shocker trying to beat the man on the mark in defence.
Luckily no damage done
Lord's a mile off it at the moment after an interrupted  season.

Harry Charleson showing a bit.
Like to see him given an opportunity soon.

Moir looks to be playing around half-back.

We're behind by 22 at the moment and they look a much better side.
Cottrell gets a'much needed' back to 16.

Back out to 22.
Three times the Bombers have kicked long range goals over the top, into open goals with no Blues anywhere near the goal line.

28 now
9-4 to 4-6

Who is coaching the 2s now that Fraser is busy......?

They look very disorganised.   And as for their kicking at goal......

Interestingly, Moir is playing off half-back
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Damian Truslove
He's been the coach all year.
Fraser's been working with the seniors.
He's actually had them going pretty well

Lord getting more involved now.
A couple of goals and we're back to 14.

Matt Duffy - lining up forward - largely unsighted
Lewis Young - typically solid but unremarkable
Harry Charleson - steady at best but seems to handle the ball more surely than most of his teammates
Jordan Boyd - so so
Adam Saad - doesn't look like an AFL player
Cooper Lord - looks like he is playing in cement boots
Matt Cottrell - meh
Lachie Fogarty - tries hard but still plays slow
Zac Williams - meh
Ashton Moir - playing at HB but not doing much - apart from some crappy turnovers
Hudson O'Keefe - seems to have regressed
Flynn Riley - at least he can contest centre ball ups but hasn't done much else
Campbell Chesser - not sure what we recruited him for - rubbish
Ben Camporeale - best of an ordinary lot - lining up on the wing

Binns playing for the Bummers but not doing enough to wish we had kept him around

....and just orchestrated a shocking turnover.  TBH, he looks lost.

Some of our blokes look they are done at the club and know their fate, Fogarty is probably the exception and has tried hard.
Young has been poor on Gerryn who has kicked three on him and Moir who is a great kick just turns the ball over with poor execution and lazy thought process on a regular basis.
Not sure who is playing on Edwards but he needs a spell on the bench, Derksen missing has left a gaping hole down back.
Ben Campo has been ok on the wing but not well enough to be playing seniors.

Darcy Hogg seems to do a good job every week.

Moir is one of the great wastes of obvious talent. Reminds me of Troy Menzel going back a few years. All talent but not the output to match.
