I see the old seduced by the highlights package syndrome is well & truly alive.
Imagine Jason Davonports lol. Just 5 minutes of games vs. Eagles.

That's why you never see a lowlights package of U/18 kids or players traded to get a true balanced picture.

#19 isn't very bright!!

That was my lasting takeaway from Rd 23 2022 when Carlton had to win to make the finals, which then became Carlton only has to draw to make the finals and Collingwood ended up winning by 1pt in their typical 2022 come from behind and pinch a win style. Carlton in the end missed making finals by 0.48% or about 8pts.

Cripps took a pack mark 20m out from goal mid way thru the last quarter with Carlton about 20 pts up. The umpire paid Collingwood a free, for a Carlton player pushing a Collingwood player, but the chain reaction started with a Collinwood player shoving that Carlton player and the umpires missed it. I said after that dodgy free, that Collingwood will probably win, but Carlton can play for a draw and still qualify for the finals.

Collingwood kept kicking goals and not missing and when the difference was 17, then 11 pts the difference, I thought Carlton just has to score a single point and its probably a draw.

Durdin had 3 chances to score a point or to help his team scored a point in the last 6 or 7 minutes of the quarter.

1 shot he had for goal he sprayed the ball wide and either it went out on the full or was punched out near the point post. Another shot didn't make the distance and the last one, after Elliot put the pies in front, he marked the ball with a minute to go 55m out and went for the perfect pass wide in the pocket, it went straight to a pies player, when if he had of just banged in long, there was a big chance if would have come off hands and been rushed for a behind and scores tied up with 50-60 seconds to go.

The upside was that he got his hands on the ball and had 3 chances to score or affect the score late in the game when the heat was on. As much as I came away from the game thinking #19 isn't very bright, it actually was the experienced Carlton players who weren't very bright and let a 24pt 3/4 time margin slip away.
From what I watched in the highlights he can use his left foot under pressure, so that’s another upside.
