Feel for Zac but we were playing one too many half back flankers anyway.

I reckon Dylan Shiel is the best avoid we've had.....soft, pack skirter and a front runner....and rightfully copping lots of flak about it.Cogs was soft at the ball and when he did get it stuffed up disposing of it most times....1.2 mill a year for that rubbish.
Agree Shiel has been woeful too but I probably only had an average rating on him from day 1 as his kicking is ordinary even when he is playing better. I have seen Coniglio play well leading up to his contract signing and he is capable but since getting the money has lost interest in the effort part of the game and being a leader at that club.
You can add Whitfield to that group too, he looks ready to do a Brad Hill and look for some big money minus the effort also.
Stkilda would be a good new home for him to laze away his days....

Shiel has been played out of position at Essendon.

His goal kicking has also been Rat Shizen , Rutten looked very sullen when asked about Shiels form, reckon he might be kicking the dew off the grass in the VFL this weekend.

He was really good...and dangerous.
Also seemed to cover a lot of ground and was often helping out well away from our goals.
Re: AFL Rd 9 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs GWS - LoveNavy - 05-16-2022
Just watched the replay. A few observations:
Our backline were great given the outs
Our mids eased the workload for our backs
Our mids are building reliable synergy AND are defending
LoB is getting the hang of using his weapon
TDK’s effort is strong but he needs help
Our small forwards are intense and are defending far and wide
It’s rare that a player ‘looks lost’
SOS is the shadow leader
Doc is a special human and athlete
Great game to watch. I’m finally ‘ditching the dread’ You know. The feeling that the opposition is about to roll us
Re: AFL Rd 9 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs GWS - DJC - 05-19-2022
One thing I have been meaning to mention was how good Brodie Kemp was.
His form in the VFL hasn't been all that great and he was brought in to play a key defender role against taller and more experienced oppponents. Like Plowman, he gave it his all and neutralised his opponents as well as keeping them accountable with his run and positioning when we had the ball.
Good signs for the future!
Re: AFL Rd 9 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs GWS - WASurfer - 05-19-2022
DJC....reckon he looked lost early in the game but definitely got better. For now he's probably our only option as a 3rd tall with Parks also sidelined. Reckon he holds his spot this week regardless of whether Young comes back in...might even be thrown forward as a taller option down there at times during the game.
