AFL 2024 Elimination Final 1 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

[pew2]

like to ask 1 question , if wizard mk2 kicked 4 goals against bulldogs how would he go in our team the way ball comes into our f50,our slow ball movement  ?

[Gointocarlton]

Agreed but ironically it may be Owies that goes.

as he has currency.

Looks that way Cookie and I dont understand any of it, think I heard his 33 goals this season was the most from a SF since Jeff Garlett in 2013.

When Zac Williams was moved forward he kicked 15 goals in 7 games before he was injured against the Bulldogs.

Yep
Reading around there are quite a few clubs interested.
Personally I'd rather keep him
But the club may be looking at his age compared to Motlop and Durdin and choose to move him on.
I think his value might not be in a swap for a pick ...but rather bundled with a pick for a player of need.

And yet I have a little more faith in Durdin than Motlop but that's not saying much as their bars arent high.

Remember though, Motlop spent the year injured and didn't play until round 19 this year due to injury. Not a hope he was doing well.

I think it’s likely to unfold that way.

I like owies but he's no Eddie betts.  I know once bitten twice shy, but his 2023 was actually better than his 2024.  Kicked 27 goals off 18 games rather than 33 off 23.

Still not a hope he was going to play well after that long out. I had him dropped for that reason a few weeks ago, bar the part where we ran out of players. He was struggling in the VFL quite a bit before he came back. Probably should not have come back.
