So if Carroll gets injured next week and can't play again for the year he effectively misses out on a RS nom he rightfully should have had.

I always thought the body of work only came into play in the second half of the season, or if it's a bit of a quiet week for the eligible players who haven't got one yet?
I get that there can be conjecture in some weeks when a couple players from different games play well and are both deserving, but when two guys play in the same game and one has a clearly bigger impact? Despite them having similar disposal numbers, there really wasn't much to argue. Carroll had the better game. The only people who are arguing otherwise, seem to be all North supporters.
Barring injury, JHF will likely play almost every game and is a chance to win it. He would've got a nom at some point. While Carroll looked great and hopefully holds his spot, playing in a stronger side, with a strong midfield and some more seasoned players to come back in, he may not get as many games as we all hope.
Would still be eligible next year.
I believe you need to have less than 10 games and under 21 at start of the season for eligibility
Or be from the Carazzo family …

I chose to give you no reaction to this.
It's funny 'cause it's true, but it's also sad 'cause it's true.
As Arrow said, if we can keep battling away and squeezing out some wins while we're up and down and still learning Voss' style, we should start to get better in that regard.

Haven't seen much of Butts, but the fact remains Harry is considerably heavier, taller, faster, likely stronger and more experienced.
And a far better mark!
Carroll looks the goods. Did not look out of place and looked confident with his disposal and even throwing in a few of his tricks.
He'll have another performance just as good as last week soon enough. Hopefully we don't have to wait more than a few days
No Smith or Sloane...if Young gets up we should be looking to win comfortably
Most key forwards are taller and heavier than key defenders, so it's not that significant of an advantage.
Weiters is only 195cm and the only forward he struggles with seems to be King, who is shorter than Harry, because of his jumping athleticism more than anything else. In fairness to JW it's worth noting it seems like every KPD is struggling against the King boys right now.
Butts is young but is sound enough already especially as a KPD in a poor team. I think Harry will likely get the better of him but I doubt it'll be a mauling.
I could see Charlie going off and getting 7 though. Tbf he probably should've had 8 v North!

Funny how Young has gone from soft, inexperienced dud to now being the difference to the result. All in a month. This place.
When his alternative is injured, and the alternative's backup is injured, and the next best option is to play akuei, it makes a difference.
Less about Young, more about the other injuries.

You said "if Young gets up we should win comfortably". What's that imply?
I agree...
He's soft, inexperienced dud and now he's a thug as well...
Back to the 2's....!

Watch highlights from the Round 7 win over North Melbourne.
2:06 - steps into the hole and completely misreads the timing for the incoming kick, drawing his man in the process and taking away any ability Weitering had to spoil Larkey; this is the one that I thought was a 1v1 loss, but clearly I misjudged the first viewing
2:32 - takes his eyes off the ball in the hot area of the stoppage and gets easily sidestepped as a result, resulting in an off-balance arm tackle that's readily broken
5:38 - identifies the need to intercept the I50 kick, but - like so many times in his career - is unable to even look close making the play due to lack of acceleration
There's also plenty of footage of him trailing an opponent more than any other defender when the ball is turned over. I understand the logic of him being the setup kick, but who is instructing him to push past the centre circle so much? Whatever the case, he loses way too many foot races to be able to compete at an AFL standard, and that's reflected in the remainder of his defensive stats.
If we're bringing him in for his ability to be the release option and to scrounge what few 1v1 contests he can get to, I think there are equal or better options sitting in the reserves.

I will be the devils advocate, who has better foot disposal in the reserves than him and you would risk in the 1's?
He was v good on Sat Night in his own right

It was actually Sth Adelaide but all good ...
That he's significantly better than the uninjured alternatives. What's the issue?
No, he would still be eligible next year

My original statement.
Cool. I've pointed out it's about the alternatives. Either accept it or don't.

This is gonna be the game where Charlie Curnow reminds the comp how good he is if he hasn’t already. Could be a 6+ game. Blues by 4 goals I like the crows they show a lot of fight
He's equal 3rd on the Coleman. Charlie's return has been better than even us Blues were hoping for!
