VFL 2024 Rd 5 Carlton vs Geelong at Carlton

[crashlander]

The 2's play Geelong at Carlton this Saturday at 12:05. Not on TV, alas.
Interesting to see who gets up to play this week.

[crashlander]

Binns, Cincotta and Sam Durdin named as emergencies for the seniors. One of those will probably not play VFL: probably Cincotta.
Akuei and Billy Wilson available. Wilson is an immediate 'in'. Not so sure about Akuei. He has had a pretty ordinary start to the year.

Our line-up:
B: Lachie Young  Sam Durdin  Harry Lemmey
HB: Billy Wilson  Dom Akuei  Michael Lewis
C: Alex Cincotta Jaxon Binns  Tom Phillips
HF: Ned Cahill  Bob Monahan  Ashton Moir
F: Liam McMahon  Luke Nelson  Alex Mirkov
R:  Hudson O'Keefe  Heath Ramshaw  Zavier Maher
Int:  L. Prout  W. White  B. Kuipers  A. Stevens  B. Lambert

Em: D. Hogg  K. Ferranato  J. Gedi  H. Gill  C, Verrell  T. Sruk  F. Riley  J. Brereton

Disappointed to see Jess Gedi out; he was good last week.

Binns, cincotta and big durds not sighted in the first.
Could be a few changes in the main game.

Back under 100!

EDIT: Back over 100.

Lost by 101pts. Not a surprise with who we had out there.

Horror game but given our injuries and with such a depleted team not unexpected. The Cats had AFL premiership players in the team along with plenty who have played a few senior games and it went to script.
Mirkov and Okeefe didnt do a lot and most of what Dom Akui did resulted in turnovers and there wasnt much to enthuse about...Maher battled on, Wilson started well but I thought our two best players were McMahon and Nelson.
Id be persisting with the ex Pie McMahon down back, he has some ability all be it he can look laconic but his skills are good.
