VFL 2021 Rd 2: Carlton vs Brisbane

[kruddler]

Pathetic, I pay all that money for Foxtel (mainly for sport) and can't even watch the AFL reserves comp.

People still pay for Foxtel?

I ditched it the second Kayo came out. Never again are they getting my money. You get the same stuff elsewhere for cheaper.

Likewise, ditched Foxtel coupla years ago for Kayo, Netflix... and now Stan (thank you, K)... for a whisker over a third of the price, for far more variety, and the footy.

CARLTON        12.1      14.4      20.7        24.10 (154)

BRISBANE      3.0        10.1      11.4        13.7 (85)

GOALS: Crocker 7, Parsons 5, Wooller 3, Caluzzi 2, Honey 2, North 2, Durdin, Ramsay, Shannon.

BESTS: Wooller, Parsons, Crocker, Honey, Setterfield, Dow, Caluzzi

I think the best named players says a lot, which is a real worry. What surprises me is why Brisbane appear so bad. They don't have a lot of injuries and their list isn't that bad. They made the stupidest mistake I can imagine just giving away Stefan Martin to the Dogs: they have few ruck options other than McInerny. When he is injured they have nobody, which is why they lost when he was missing. The grossest of stupidity is to give away a guy who is a match winner, when he is one of only 2 rucks on the list!

I do intend to watch the game tomorrow and enjoy it. I didn't much enjoy the seniors.

Crash....what do you think of Wooller ?

[Professer E]

I'm sure hes been on a list

[ElwoodBlues1]

Brisbane I think...he impressed me, most will go Crocker, Setterfield etc but I thought Wooller showed more senior potential.
Good size, good mark, good kick and if you wanted to take a punt and rookie a player from your backyard he would be my pick
from todays bunch. We need another KP player given Charlie , Marchbank and McDonald are all cactus for the season.

Crash....what do you think of Wooller ?

he isn't a ruckman, although he has been thrown into that role a lot of late. He moves quite well and has a decent pair of hands. He also generally kicks the ball reasonably. He struggles against really strong opponents. I don't think he is quite up to AFL standard, but he is potentially a good VFL player and leader, if we can keep him.
The reason I don't think he is quite AFL level is partly based on the way we deliver the ball: we don't give our forwards much chance. He isn't going to take huge pack marks against a defence like Melbourne's, for example.
I think he has been a good pick-up for our VFL side, and will be a better one when he doesn't have to ruck so much.

Fair enough, first time I have seen him so I will bow to your expertise on all matters Wooller.....
