AFL Rd 24 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs St, Kilda

What happened to fantasia?

Copped a knock after helping us almost win the game.

[crashlander]

Fantasia had 10 possessions today, but he was worth his spot. Each of his possessions hurt St. Kilda.
Jesse Motlop: 4 possessions and only one of them a good one - his goal. His season has been a right-off. Never been either fit nor in form. He is one who really needs to pull the finger out.
Matt Owies: some total brain fades today. 11 disposals, but not many good ones. We should sign him up, but he is another who really needs to work on his disposal and decision making over the summer.
Brodie Kemp: a forward cannot afford to two-grab every mark. As for his leading, I don't remember seeing many. He has a lot going for him, but he needs to work on his decision making and kicking.
Jack Carroll: did some things, but doesn't do enough. I think Cooper Lord might pass him pretty soon. I liked Lord's game: 19 possessions and 7 tackles.
Ashton Moir: there is a fair bit of promise there! He did more in 1 quarter than Motlop did in 4. He made some decent decisions and his kicking was good. We've got one here!

I thought the same, from limited opportunities he had game influence and I can't say he's had that much game influence in any other game.

Someone at the Carlton cheers quad end threw a water bottle and hit the girl umpire in the head. Can't recall any controversial decisions.

The “girl umpire” was the replacement… the male umpire that was struck by the plastic water bottle went off and stayed off.

Freo will finish over the top IMO

[crashlander]

Young wasn't too bad today, but his decision making is not good. We need to find another tall defender, as we can't relay on Young when the pressure is on.
Weitering was Weitering. He is one of the best in the business, but he isn't quick.
Our small defenders will probably have to carry the can for the loss: St Kilda small forwards got goals that ultimately won the game. However, I thought our small defenders were pretty good. Saad did some great things. Newman was close to BOG: he got leather poisoning. Cowan wasn't bad either.

I wrote goal. Auto correct.

Acres and Hollands weren't bad, but we have to develop enough negative from them to close down their opponents.
And I missed mentioning Cincotta, who I thought did a great job.

Hoping Port can hang on but Freo at home with the crowd willing them on you would think should be able to get it done unfortunately.
Cant warm to Justin Longmuir so apart from us needing to win,  Freo losing might go some of the way to ease the pain of losing to Stkilda, still cant believe we lost today ...

[shawny]

If we are going to win a flag with this list i think we have more to gain by missing the  finals this year let the pain burn deep again and learn from another wasted year.

Not much to gain by making it by waiting for others to lose. Winners make it on their own.

We are decimated and on our knees injury wise therefore we are not going to get past week 1 of the finals.
More to gain to miss imo then sneak in and be kicked out.
I want this to burn the group bad.
