Causation and correlation.

Time to play for the future because the current team are not good enough.
TDK and Kemp need to play.

Thank you for that clarification, Spotted One. But the scenario remains that we've 5 key talls, 4 of whom are not delivering what they should and for whatever reason.
I guess we'll see some culling of expensive non-hackers at year's end... and perhaps one or two good talls for draft/trade improvement.

Pittonet is 26, almost 27.
If we deem him 'too old' we lose everyone 26 or over, we lose over half our team from last night.....and a few others.
Kennedy
Owies
Charlie
Cincotta
Hewitt,
Acres
Cripps
McGovern
Saad
Docherty
Newman
Ed
along with Pittonet makes 13 from last night 23 players.
Also includes....
Cuningham
Marchbank
S. Durdin
Martin
Williams
Plowman
In total 19 players who are 'too old' at 26 or more.
Yeah, nah.

Get Harry away from goals for a couple of weeks.
Not permanently necessarily, but just enough to get a bit of confidence back, and take a bit off pressure of his goalkicking.
Tell him to play between the arcs...or a little futher out so he's not tempted.
Let him have a roving commission and take some of the ruck work.
He's not doing badly around the ground...but his kicking for goal is deflating and a momentum changer.
Get a few defensive players around the forward line to keep the ball in.
Kicks directed to Curnow will almost always result in him marking, or a spillage.
It's diabolical...it couldn't be more diabolical with a bit of a mix-up, some separation between the talls, and some defensive pressure.

Many if not most of our blokes are coming into their prime and/or just beginning their best years. Ed is the exception.

It's just a small sample of work,VFL game and last night, but something I've noticed about Cottrell that others are lacking is he seems to create that little bit of extra time before he lets the ball go.
One time last night he had a couple of options...Curnow and Owies. He looked and saw Curnow was covered or had slipped and sent the ball Owies' way
Re: AFL Rd 9 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs - Lods - 05-14-2023
The funny thing about ladder position is that you can predict a number of wins that it will take to make finals.
I'm tipping at the moment, based on past trends, that it will probably be around 14.
You'd safely guesstimate that 14 is beyond us.
But as it stands at the moment we're only half a game out.
And while it looks like a huge task, it's very much in the hands of the players...and we're still alive.

Their prime and best is mediocre.
