Cotters is also faster and can hold a tackle. Ollie is just too slight at the moment. Seeing him flayling about attempting to tackle numerous times and gest flicked off like a booger too many times this season.

I thought Weitering was a little below par (for him) and thought that McKay and Curnow had (for them) relative stinkers, which I hope they got out of their systems.
So in the scheme of things a 10 goal win was very pleasing.

I think SOS treats his emotions like he did his job at Full Back.
He doesn't let anything get through...

Looking forward to many more of these wins against the Tigers. Worst list in the AFL. At the end of the year Gibcus will be the only player under 25 with the potential to be an A grader. They will have 10 30yr olds on their list.
Slot Cripps into the 80’s or 90’s premiership era’s, only could imagine with the success, stars and class that those teams possessed & around him, how he would have done, pretty bloody good I’d reckon…
Anyway he’s a modern day champion of the game and of Carlton, he’ll sit comfortably amongst all of our clubs greats of all eras…
Fantasia is essentially playing Cotts role. O Hollands for Cotts won't happen.

He needs 9-10kg of muscle mass. Give him more strength through the upper body. It definitely hasn't hurt Moo this year. Still, Ollie has a couple more years before he finishes filling out fully so it's going to happen anyway.

I was away for the weekend, with poor internet coverage. So I’ve only just watched the second half.
It is hard to say stuff which hasn’t been said before. But I did just want to acknowledge Sheriff Acres. I thought his first 15 mins in the third quarter when the game was up for grabs was enormous.

Great observation, it’s a part of his game he tends to do a lot from watching him as well…

Glad that Fantasia had the game he did, if he builds on that we have a guy, he has missed a lot of footy and felt this year was getting his legs back.
sydney had the loss they had to have, we had the first half we had to have. it's a good thing we were pushed early by a bottom team. year after year, even this year, we've seen middle of the road teams take home the points despite us being favourites.
we seem to be doing things better teams will do, turn it on for 10 minutes and put 5 goals between us and the opposition. goals are coming from everywhere though it may not happen against a stronger team but so long as we keep up the supply to the forward line the opposition will be putting their fingers in the dike.
we're less likely to really clamp down on a team's scoring but more blow them away, last couple of weeks case in point. defenders doing well enough for now.
fantasia doing small forward things, didn't expect he had the leg on him to score from 50. hard to budge him from the side with a game like that. on paper we probably lack medium forward but we seem to manage. owies seems to be that kind of player rather than your wily small forward.

Prime McAvaney was a wonderful commentator/caller, thought he dropped of in quality in his later years…
Although I’d still prefer him commenting now than most of what we have to listen to tv wise…
I thought I noticed him in a centre bounce or two. Also in several around the ground ball ups etc. so I think he's spending a little time around the ball while still generally being a backman. Being graduated in a bit and I love it.
He's a real crafty kick, one of those guys that manages to get ball to foot in weird body positions. Those guys can be very handy inside. Obviously, we know he's a big kick as well, so some foot penetration in the mids would be great.
yeah never thought id say i missed Bruce.. hes at times fanboi-ing is much more palatable than BT, JB, and Darce's.

I was going to say that - he is going to take several years to put on that kind of weight (if ever) - he is just not that body type (maybe not until 24-25 years old).
Did I say Ollie does or is playing well?
As I said Cottrells best football has been as HF as YOU have highlighted. When he plays wing he struggles
They are not like for like
No centre bounces, but was following Bolton a fair bit which pushed him higher
Really enjoying Cowan's defensive first mindset, next stage will be adding overlap run and looking for shorter targets, rather than always banging long
It was a different game in Fevs era, full forwards didn't do that. Imo he was really the last of the true full forwards that played out of the goal square. Buddy was the prototype of the modern era who could get up field more. I don't think Fev would have translated all tate well, to your point about fitness and getting up to the wing etc. Imo he'd be a bit like how Darcy Fogarty at times almost feels like a throwback forward that's out of place in the modern game and gets lost from time to time.
Don't agree re footskills. Fev had elite footskills, with a larger breadth of skills than Charlie imo. Charlie is an elite long kick, his kicking 60m inside 50 is second to none imo, but he doesn't really have a lot of touch. Fev could kick a ball 60 but also had elite finesse when needed as well. Look at his best goals highlights and see how many are crafty kicks out of nowhere - bananas, checksides, or even lying on the ground... Curnow is more a sledgehammer with how he kicks, which is effective in its own right of course. I'd rather Charlie kicking inside 50 from 70 out, but just about every other kick in the book I'd rather Fev.
