  Jim Park Voting 2024 AFL Rd 17 Carlton vs GWS in Sydney
Posted by: crashlander - 07-06-2024, 04:21 AM - Forum: Robert Heatley Stand - Replies (12)

Voting is as usual: you have 15 votes to award pretty much as you will, with the following provisos:
[1] 15 votes in total, no more, no less.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Sam Walsh or Patrick Cripps)
[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.

  VFL 2024 Rd 15 Carlton vs GWS at Blacktown

Game on Saturday afternoon at 13:05 at Blacktown.

Chances are we might a little leadership on the park for a change. Expectations are still low: this mob were good last year and killed us.

  How & Where Do You Play XYZ ...... ??
Posted by: LordLucifer - 07-01-2024, 07:00 AM - Forum: Robert Heatley Stand - Replies (3)

The team is now cemented in 2nd place and failing a complete disaster, should remain there for the season. Thing is, the onfield squad is pretty solid right now and its hard to imagine too many wholesale changes going forward.

It brings up an interesting question around a handful of players who are fan favourites and are considered a big part of the squad (not all of them by me though).

So how, where & why do we play the following guys if & when they are fit & available :

Cottrell
Silvagni
Motlop
Docherty
Marchbank
Durdin
Martin
Cuningham
Young
Pittonet

  5 Most Valuable
Posted by: Lods - 06-30-2024, 10:35 PM - Forum: Robert Heatley Stand - Replies (10)

There was a moment in the game yesterday when Weitering had a knock.
He seemed to recover fairly quickly.

I was also thinking that Kennedy was having a good game...next minute.

We watched as several players rolled ankles at various stages.

We've built a strong team.
"Soldier out, soldier in" seems to be the ethos.
But obviously some players are more important in terms of structure.

Who do folks think are our 5 most valuable heading into what looks like a real premiership opportunity
It's not necsessarily the best players, but those who perform a role that would be hard to fill if we needed to replace them.

Obviously, at the top of the list we'll get some consensus but around 4 and 5 we may get some differing views.

Just as an example...
We have McKay- Curnow and DeKoning- Pittonet.
If one player is unavailable in either of those combinations we still have the other that can fill that role.
But that doesn't mean don't choose one or more of those players if you think they are essential and among our top 5 most valuable.

Do we have anyone who can provide what Cripps does to the same extent. (It's OK...I know the answer Big Grin .)

And in the depth area....players like Fogarty, Saad, Cincotta give us elements that are hard to replace.

Top 5?
