VFL 2023 Rd 4 Carlton vs Williamstown at Willi

Like to see Cuningham back and down forward as he can kick goals and give us X factor......given up on Martin.

Great in theory. I'd love to see both fit and firing. They offer a different dimension if my memory serves me. Not so likely though, if the past is any indicator.

To quote the 'super' ads (and i hope its accurate)

"Past performances are not a reliable indicator of future performance"

Cunningham? Hasn’t played football in what two years and even before that would flash in for 5 mins then be gone for the rest of the game. Was recruited as Jack Silvagni’s mate and was given plenty of chances. I feel sorry for his injuries no kid deserves his run but to say you would pick him in the ones when he’s not even in the two’s am I missing something? Who next Philp?

What a rubbish ground to play football on.

It is a hole - even when not windy - if that is ever the case

[RiverRat]

So far, safe to say Fisher won't be being picked for a recall anytime soon.

Certainly shouldn't be

Lemmey and Okeef havent touched it

I know big blokes take time but these two might need a lot of time.

Yep, Hollands needs a rest.
Ed can have a stint in the 2's
Young is underperforming and should be swapped out for Kemp.
Harry in the ruck would only be relief...and would spend most of the time sitting in the goalsquare or on the bench, so its basically whats happening now. I'd give him a 1 week rest to boost his confidence and bring him back.
Binns, i missed most of the first half today which is when he really dominated, but might be a time to bring him and dow in for hollands and Ed.
Durdin might miss too (leg?), rather than bring in Honey or Fisher, i'd go straight for Martin or Cuningham.

Binns is  a type of footballer you rarely see these days - he can kick with either foot.  I saw him trapped against the boundary line near the goal and when his path was blocked to kick with his right foot he simply balanced and shot off a quick left foot pass to a player who was then in a position to score.

He is small and it's hard to judge if he is ready for AFL but looks promising for the future.

Thinking about it, he could be an improvement on either Motlop or Durdin considering how they are going at the moment.

Keep him away from the seniors.  Don't want whatever malaise effecting him that seems to run through the senior team whenever things get a bit hard.
