It’ll be great to watch his work for a whole game - I’ve seen training snippets of Elijah - still can’t picture what kind of player he is.

What previous player would you say he’s most like?

Justin Murphy 1999 version...fast, powerful, penetrating,burst of acceleration and skilful

In characteristics JDG, better endurance without the burst

If he’s that clean by foot he’s just what we need. A great addition for us by all accounts.

Does he have a tank that’s wing-worthy like his bro?

JDG with the burst is what we need.

Do you see him as an inside mid ultimately?

Split his time mostly forward rotating mid

 

[ESKIE]

Who does Elijah replace ?

 

[carlton_99]

Who does Elijah replace ?

Would probably depend on who else is available (Martin/Motlop especially)

 

[ESKIE]

Yes some interesting selections this week
I’m going out Kennedy & young
In weiters & e hollands

But Martin. & Motlop so depends

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Be interesting to see how the selection panel view this week.

How much do we mess with a winning side? Aside from Walsh and weiters, imo we need to be careful not to bring in to many players whom haven’t played a lot of footy.
Do u bring in hollands? Or give him a run in the twos?
Same as mots and Martin, if both available, do we play both in the senior side? Or maybe one plays senior and one twos?

 

[BlueLocke]

Was there a VFL practice match this weekend?

 

[Benaly28]

Anyone nervous about this game…

Don’t be.

No.

How many times between now and game time will the statement:

“This is their grand final”

be used.

To be honest, I find it all a bit disrespectful - the same as we did when Titch Edwards from Richmond said the same thing about us.

 

[Accidental genius]

It’s understandable that some of our supporters still feel a bit of anxiety against teams we’re expected to win….i was one of them most of last year and even start of this season although we’ve been winning our fair share.

We’ve come a long way…we’ve got lots of talent and more importantly the hard working types that imo make a world of difference.

I’m a lot more confident now.

 

[Gez1969]

Not nervous but this is the sort of game that we need to win by plenty.
Last year we made heavy work of it but came away with a scrappy 24 point win.
Banking percentage gives us flexibility in the 2nd half of the season.
I'd like Weitering and E Hollands back in for Young and Kennedy.

 

[JustaBattler]

I'll be confident about winning when we have two more forwards who can create their own goals from anywhere in the fifty- graft is good - class is better in the forward line. Need some magic up front - we haven't seen since Garlett/Betts/Walker were destroying teams with skill.

E Hollands has never played an AFL game for Carlton.

For real? I think that’s why JDG will only play cameos, he doesn’t have the tank to go all game, and in fact I reckon he is only good every other game or so.

If Elijah has a tank I’m pretty sure as he matures he can increase his power!!

Oh great, we have traded in a meathead

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

No…
VFL round 1 season kicked off, we had a bye…
Play North next Friday 12.30 pm start at Arden Street…

 

[Bongo Drum]

Attributed that to Kemp and Gov or as a team?

Attributed to both our system and those 2 players.

Hoyne said our system improved to the point where we were the worst turnover team in 2023, averaging 6 goals/game, to now 10 goals/game from turnover.

That's a massive improvement of approx 70%. Big props to the work our coaches and players did over the offseason to improve what was probably our biggest area of concern from 2023. Know it's only 2 games but early signs are looking good and it's got me super excited for what lies ahead!

Hoyne mentioned the two biggest contributors to our improvement in scores from turnover are Gov and Kempy. Gov's the obvious one from watching our games but Kempy less so and came as a pleasant surprise to me. He also noted Williams and Saad, but also called out Boyd as an up-and-comer and one to watch in that aspect.

 

[Maverick000]

Wasn’t impressed with Elijah’s kicking in the praccy match against Cats, hopefully he was just a bit rusty but don’t envisage he’ll be elite by foot.

If the bye was treated as a reset, then they will simply choose the best available team vs our oppo.

Young, O Hollands , Kennedy out

Wieters, E Hollands, Martin in.
