AFL 2023 Preliminary Final Carlton vs Brisbane Post Game Prognostications

[RiverRat]

Weiters is generally a good kick

That used to be the case but he has many more mis-kicks these days.

Tend to agree and he can get a bit lazy on his left foot and grub them along the ground...

Many more?

I don't really agree, perception is a funny thing.

For example, we say McGovern is elite, most would agree. Yet Weitering averages more kicks than McGovern (10.2 / 8.7), has a higher kick efficiency (75% / 71%) and a very similar clanger rate (2.1 / 1.9). Are you surprised?

Even so, I think McGovern remains my better of the two but Weitering isn't bad like you may think.

I suspect the where and when influences perception, and when things go wrong on the last line it's probably a nightmare for fans!

I have more memories of McGovern opening up the opposition for a score, yet the elimination final kick from Weiters to Hollands is as good if not better than any.

That's true, but Zac is the sort of player that Vossy likes. 

What? A lazy prick who likes bruise free footy? Doubt it.

Weren't many fans outraged because Williams got suspended for a midfield hip and shoulder during pre-season?

Probably tripped over into the player and filled his shorts in the aftermath. The quicker we offload this goat the better.

Don't trust me, just watch:

Those are the highlights.  Even some of his mongrels are at worst hitting teamates.  He bites off difficult kicks, and hits targets.  You know, against brisbane we moaned about high lofty looping kicks.  This guy goes the worm burner, or kick to advantage.

Zac Williams is a definite starter when fit.

Much like Martin that got continuity. He is renown finals performer at the Giants.

6 tackles + 10 clearances in a prelim https://www.afl.com.au/afl/matches/1956#player-stats
Was one of the best against Brisbane in semi final https://www.afl.com.au/afl/matches/1954#player-stats

His history at Giants proves he is a big game player. Just needs to get his body right and give us some of his best.

Watching AFL360. Saw Charlie was only targeted 1,1 and 4 times over the 3 weeks. Then they possible showed why. He was asking for the ball or running to wrong spots. Leading back into space and asking the kicker to kick it to him over the top sounded ok, except he was asking for it to kicked 60m to him. Other times he was asking them to kick it to impossible spots. Explains why he was often out of position. He'll learn alot about from finals series and develop more nous. If he develops that real nous and he'll near kick 100.

Seriously flying solo here G2C.
