We really need to be up and about and hopefully we won't have players playing with injuries.

Then we run through the ####, I'm sick of being treated as road kill and bullied by faux tough guys. It started and finished this year against North.

I thought he showed signs in 2023 and 2024 was his year to play that half forward role and pitch hit in the middle. Go from that 9-10 disposal player to 14-16. He has had a few CBA's but his year has really been a bust.
Durdin’s best footy was when he was able to apply manic defensive pressure. He hasn’t been able to reproduce that and his game has dropped off. We miss the pressure he put on opposition defenders.

Durdin has been injured.

Still been involved in 11 games (albeit some as the sub or subbed off), but look at Motlop, 4 goals in 4 games.......and they are games we've been terrible in, not the dominant side that Durdin played in.

Zero goals in 2 weeks if that's your measure.

Pick a category and compare the 2.
The end.

Lemmey and Wilson were named in the 2's, but I doubt either will play, especially with injury clouds over the heads of so many who are named.
I look at that team and I wonder where the goals are coming from. Even in the wet, you have to have someone to kick the goals. We have a lot of mids, and not much else.
Re: AFL Rd 23 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast in Perth - rocky - 08-17-2024
If it's wet then that could be to our advantage given the height of our forward line. Just don't kick it long onto their heads. I'd rather they adopt a chaos ball along the ground and let the little blokes crumb. Have to try something out of the box.
