VFL RND 6 - Carlton v Werribee Saturday 4th May 2.05PM @ Avalon Airport Oval

[Mondyboy]

I’d have no issue playing him. He will have a go and I reckon he’s one of those players that will enjoy the better standard

Not convinced he’s ready. He’s a fraction slow on decision making.

Playing against plumbers will make you look like that

First off, these plumbers made the granny last year. Second off, I’ve been saying this for several weeks. Offers more than our current crop.

Durdin needs to come in, Weitering needs his help

 

[Korn]

Mirkov is a very good tap ruckman,

The level is miles below the level required to make an AFL list, let alone play an AFL game. Felt like a pretty cheap jab at Durdin and Fantasia

He’s so much more assured than Young.

That was a nice goal from Binns. Again, would he offer more than Fantasia as a small forward?

Not a chance in hell. Doesn't have the speed or craft. High scope as a wing/half forward

It’s not a jab. It’s recognition of how little they’ve offered..

And while the level is lower, you’re aware that it’s the VFL teams we will be looking at to pluck someone for MSD.

So still More than Fantasia

So still More than Fantasia

If he had've played last night as a small forward, you would've had him delisted by midnight

 

[Mondyboy]

Werribee slaughtering us around the ball and the ground balls. Making us look fourth rate. Could be another belting.

You pick players that have scope for improvement, not necessarily the player with the best number or impact. They aren't in full time programs, so it's much more of a gamble

You don’t know. Hasn’t been tried. Evidence re Fantasia is available

White is young and seems to have talent. Has kicked goals in a team that has a dysfunctional forward line. He probably won’t get chosen, but I like what I see.

We are too tall in defence so they’re killing us when the ball hits the ground. Ridiculous coaching.

Ah, they’ve put Lemmey forward. Should have started that way.

And what if we spend half a season playing him out of position, it doesn't work, and his development's stunted? I thought we were past this

 

[Pablito]

Getting beat up by a bunch of rejects and part timers.

 

[Mondyboy]

Akuei has been our best defender…

Kemps been terrible.

Durdin has been good, kept his man quiet.

Lemmey thankfully moved to the forward line.

Wilson has had the ball but also turned it over.

Carroll has been scrappy, but by far our best mid (though not a big a bar)

Moir and Monahan have been mostly unsighted.

Mirkov and O’Keefe have tapped to Werribee’s mids all day and they can’t mark a ball.

Binns has been fine. He’s hit a level which he may not pass this year.

You’re right. But it doesn’t need to be half a season. It could be as much as three or four games.

I just posed it as an idea. Not wedded to it. And I doubt it will happen.

McGovern, Marchbank and Martin back next week.

Getting beat up by a bunch of rejects and part timers.

So it started as an even contest, then?

 

[SolGoodman]

Binns can kick em.

 

[Mondyboy]

Nice goal Bot from great work by my man Will White.
