AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Brownlow: M. Murphy (I want to say Watson!!)
If Watson can stay on the park and not have any injury niggles, he should give the Brownlow a fair shake.
Paying at 13 to 1 atm... decent odds for a bloke who stands out in an otherwise ordinary team who'll probably win more games than they lose.
Premiers: Hawthorn (only team in top 4 with a decent coach (even though he is a nob))
In Chris Scott's words...Chris Scott won the flag in his first year and he's not decent?
4. Carlton - I struggle to see where the improvement is going to come from to take them to the next level. Yarran will improve further and perhaps gibbs but they will stay level with last year until they find a talented KPF.
9. Essendon - People overrated them for much of last year and their young talent. They have a good young spine developing but other than watson their midfield will be average next year making the eight a challenge.
It's depth that SHOULD see push us up. The form of Hampson, Watson, McCarthy, Kerr, Mitchell, Davies, Bower, White, Curnow, Collins, Mclean (even him), Casboult, O'Keeffe, McInnes and Tuohy should be the catalyst to keep our firsts on their toes. You need depth to improve across the board. In ruck terms, Kreuzer, Warnock and Hampson are still babies. Our 2010 picks have hardly played. 2011 was just Laidler's fourth season and his first at Carlton. Bargain buy and a leader who should continue to improve.Kreuzer- First year back from an ACL
Waite- Stifled by a hip injury and left us without a tall target up forward
Curnow- Started on fire then messed up his shoulder (with a little help)
Collins- Played as a high half-forward in his time at Richmond and showed something, underwhelming this year when he got his chance, but injured his shoulder before he could have a second bite at the apple.
Henderson- Started this season in the ressies thanks to an interrupted pre-season, a full year out of him will help our side a lot
Jamison- Really shone when he came into the side having been suspended for a high bump in the NAB Cup (I blame Ricky Henderson's complete lack of awareness). Then tore his meniscus.
Lucas- Struggled with a hamstring injury having shown quite a bit in his first year. Came in for the Saints game and played really well
Russell- Runner-up in the best and fairest 10', injured his hip in the pre-season and tried to play through, in the end he took a rest and played VFL for the remainder, but with a full pre-season will hopefully return to 2010 form.
8 players right there who could improve on 2011 output considerably
I think you're wrong there. I think we were underrated most if not all if the year and despite this still made the 8

There is some improvement in these players but i don't see Waite being a good enough KPF to carry your forward line.
Im guessing that Carlton supporters see Waite as more of a Role player, just to give a target up forward ?3 players kicked 50 goals. Doesn't really need to be carried...
Waite sucks in a tall defender, which helps Walker in the air, and gives him more breathing room. The forward line looks pretty damn good IMO, kicked a lot of goals
