AFL Rd 1 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond

[ElwoodBlues1]

I still have my fingers and toes crossed for Cunners although he looks all but gone there is a slim chance for him to still make it.
Lachie Fogarty is more of your Jack Graham type and would prefer him than Owies.
Fisher - time to play your role mate.

Fogarty tackles well and while his kicking can be ropey at times I think he has been over looked a lot and deserves a shot.
He can get the hard ball and can bob up for a goal while playing several positions and I think much like Kennedy who looked gone at one stage if we gave him a decent run we might have ourselves a handy player.
You look at Owies, Fisher, Martin and they havent progressed as players or helped the team progress, jury out on Durdin and Motlop who havent played enough games to judge but I think we need to play the likes of Fogarty, Honey, Carroll, Dow to see what they have got and it might have the secondary effect of making the likes of Owies, Fisher and Martin see that they are not automatic selections and they need to lift their performance.
I dont see Cuningham being a regular player even if he makes it back as he is just too fragile especially with the pace the modern game is being played at and how quickly teams can rack up injuries like we saw last night.
