Did he play wing or HF
I
Interesting comment given the senior team is pretty unbalanced atm.

The decision was a rushed 2nd option, the kick was not rubbish under that paradigm. O'Brien was still one of our best mids across the day.
I haven't read someone say that about Carlton in over 20 years, and I don't believe it to be true, either. * I'm getting old
His right foot is passable, but not at the end of a game under pressure. It's a rare move for him to make, as he usually shakes the pressure off with his run.
Dump Fisher, lead-up general forward rotating midfield, swapping with Silvagni, Cripps, maybe Kennedy if he makes it back in. It's the role I wanted to see for Kemp but we keep training him as a defender.
TDK, Dow, O'Brien... also has some options on the Dogs list he could pick away at. There's other options too if their medical and physio staff believe they can correct certain issues.
Look at SPS tonight.

It’s funny because Binns is a fair bit closer to Reid’s age then he is Hollands for example.
He is an interesting player, I think he will end up a little bit like a Polec.

Out of curiosity, in the game he played against Adelaide, how many goals did Plow have kicked on him?

Gee that's a downer.
The play half way through the last where Cotts smothered a ball in our D50, we transitioned quickly….and yet Cotts bobbed up to be on the end of it and goaled from 50 was just absolutley sensational stuff.
I think his lack of accumulation may prevent him from getting a game this week but gee he did some great stuff.
I’m not as big on Binns getting a game yet. His kicking efficiency under no pressure is not quite there for mine. It has improved but I wouldn’t want to bring him in to a game like this yet.

There were recruiters from a large chunk of clubs, why is this a story?

And kicking was the blot on his game at drafting. Hopefully we have the right folk in there working on this.
See Ed Langdon but there’s the coaching of M.Williams benefiting MFC players. We need to find someone similar for our skills & goal kicking.
His kicking has imrovoed a lot. Both since last year and during this year so far. Don’t get me wrong - I think he’s going to play 200 games and his kicking will be just fine.
Just wouldn’t play him in this block of 5 as it would be a baptism of fire. A lot of pressure. Cotts has completely cleaned up his ball use. I’d just play him. You know exactly what you’re going to get if he plays.

The only player that I can think of pulling the trigger on that sought of kick is Charlie, I can't see Fish or Ed ever doing this, and I mean never. Cottrel is the closest we have to mimic what Collingwood do with McCreery with his discipline/low possession big impact style.

Dodoro was there as well.

Anyone have footage of the TDK incident where he got concussed?

The club tried to offload him last year but no one wanted him because of his contract.

Wonder if he's a DFA to saints and we look for Gresham as an RFA

Only way Dow plays is if 4 of Cripps, Cerra, Walsh, Kennedy and Hewett are unavailable. He held the club to his contract when the club wanted him gone. As is his right, but he won't get a game in the AFL.

Ruck contest in the 2nd Q IIRC. Looked liked he’d slipped and was slow getting up.
See Jimmae’s post above for replay & mini (not sure if in the mini).
It’s on the afl website. Game replay. Vfl. It’s about 20 -22 min mark of second quarter if I recall.

VFL R6 | Cottrell's incredible goal on return
Matthew Cottrell turned defence into attack and then got on the end of his own work in his first game back for 2023.
Cottrell's smother and then run forward is insane. The kind of running power that can cover for our slower midfield.
From the highlights LOB looked like he had a damaging game with 2 goals (one with a clearance then a broken tackle) and 4 or 5 kicks inside 50 hitting targets. I think LOB has been harshly judged this year. Was getting more of the ball last year than Hollands this year. Only played 1 full game this year and while the fans were in full whipping boy mode, the criticism was over the top. Kicking the ball OOTF while under pressure on the wing is not a major issue. Leads to a slow turnover. Same with getting caught holding the ball in traffic. Much better than a hack kick that is turned over and leads to quick rebound. His mistakes did not hurt as opposed to the JSOS missed kicks in that game.
Harley Reid looked dynamic with 3 great highlights (though doesn't look like he has a left foot)
