VFL Carlton Reserves 2023

[Burgers45]

Practice match tonight.
First break at IKON Park. Honey, Martin, McGovern and Pittonet all involved, with the No.36 opening the scoring. Jed Brereton with the other. It's a 2.1 (13) to 1.3 (9) scoreline at quarter time.

 

[Coona Blues]

Legend, thanks mate. Keep it coming as you can.

HALF TIME Slow second quarter for the boys, but still in the game. CAR 2.6 (18) PM 2.10 (22)

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Half time, 2.6 to us, 2.10 to them.
Gov been good down back, pencil him in for next week. Martin been busy, looks fit.
Of the VFL boys, big Tyreece been fantastic in defence, and I think it's McMahon wearing #14 also been prominent down back.
Apart from Gov, Martin and Pitto, no other AFL listed players out there.

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Edit: Honey also out there, hasn't really been prominent

 

[Burgers45]

Honey snags a quick one from 50m to start the second half CAR 24 PM 22

I've been following the twitter feed. 2 goals each to half time. Is it a battle of the defences? Honey seems to have snagged a couple.

THIRD QUARTER TIME Beautiful goal from Gill right before the buzzer! CAR 31 4.7 (31) PM 3.11 (29

Very scrappy game, delivery to the forwards hasn't been great but both teams playing good defence.
Gov has been terrific, get him off now and put him in mothballs. I've liked Martin's game, working hard on ball and across half forward. Pitto also had a good 3rd quarter, looks like a player fighting tooth and nail for his spot.

Are you there, Bamboo?

How is my boy doing? Anything other than hitting the scoreboard?

 

[Burgers45]

Holding the man, free kick for Martin. GOAL right in front the goal square .
Car 38 vs PM 29.

Yep, I'm here sitting almost right behind James Hird!! His lad must be playing for Port.
Honey gone into the midfield, been good the final quarter. Martin also having a good quarter, threatened to rip the game apart there for a while.
Looks like they've seen enough of Gov, been great and sitting on the pine

FULL TIME Blues fought hard, with Honey and Martin both hitting the board but not the result we wanted. CAR 5.8 (38) PM 5.13 (43

 

[branedotorg]

two late goals and we're down

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Think I spoke too soon, Gov with an ice pack around his calf/achillies after the game... hopefully just precautionary but had a noticeable limp walking off the field.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Gov?

Ice and limping is expected after games - go into the rooms post-game and you’ll see 80% of players with ice or limps. Nothing to be concerned about.

 

[HaydossJ]

Anyone know why Owies didn’t play? Sure hope one of Owies or Durdin is available next Thursday

I hope your right....thought he was easily our best tonight for the first 3 quarters - should be a walk up start next week if he's right to go.

We played very few of our 'name' VFL players last week and almost conquered Port Melbourne. Interesting to see how the side will go when it is something closer to what will be available in the real season.

Nice to see a good selection of 'talls' this year. Kemp is a genuine utility, not a KPP Gorilla, expecting a breakout season.

 

[Jimmae]

Interested to see how they use Akuei, Kemp, and McMahon, as there seems to be more space up forward than down back. I think McMahon is the only one likely to see time in defence if the team sheet is any guide.
