Moir very disappointing again, looks disinterested at times
my god our reserves are terrible but that umpiring effort in the final term was something else cant even spot a mark properly
Caddy (unfortnately not ours) is pretty good..has that Charlie Curnow vib about him ...but on ours ..thought Motlop was thru midfield most of day and was good..Marchie was ok , he was solid without being dominating..

Pretty sure Moltop's hand almost got kicked to Mars at one pt and it was play-on. Was worried he got injured

Was our best tackler and tried to break lines.

Motlop did enough to play AFL against the Cats post bye.
Billy Wilson is the best of our picks from last year. By a country mile.
Moir… is wasted on the wing. I know they’re trying to give him a tank but I’d love to see him play a game up forward as a leading forward.
Lemmey did some good stuff, kicked 2 goals, but he needs to compete better.
Mirkov. The less said the better.
Monahan. Remains out of his depth.
Young/Marchbank/Durdin - they are injury cover. Marchy showed a little bit more, but was easily outmarked several times by an 18 year old.
Akuei. Actually was one of our better defenders. If only he didn’t handball straight to the oppo every single time.
Binns was fine for the half he played.
McMahon was the best of the VFL bunch. Cahill also decent.
Overall, we are a very poor team burdened by blokes like Mirkov and Monahan who aren’t up to it.

I'm frustrated only by the lack of across-the-field cover in positions which affects structure and development and development of younger players is what underpins sustainable success for a club. Not good enough atm in my book.
Most evident is there is no listed developing midfield squad.
I'll leave it at that.

He had 6 tackles which was our best. The way he plays it looks like he’s coasting and going at 80% but the numbers look solid. Not sure the VFL suits him but he is too slight for AFL level atm.
Boom or bust selection imo.
At the moment, absolutely
Cerra, Cottrell, Doc, Cuners would improve the quality at VFL level one way or another
Lord will help, so too the Campo boys next year
I'm more concerned with depth and or competition for spots in our forward line
It did also pretty sure that shot in the forward pocket was out of bounds before he kicked it

I'm not willing to give up on an Irishman who has never played the game half way through his first season. He's the epitome of a cat B rookie. I reckon he might come on strong when his fellow Irishman is up and going.
FWIW I haven’t given up on him either. But right now, he wouldn’t get a game if he wasn’t Carlton listed.

Not sure why all the carry on…
Only watched the second half… Thought we completed well for a bottom of the ladder team, who is full off kids…
The real stuff is tonight…

Full of kids or not development and list and strength of club should see us higher than last. Much much higher.
Wilson and Moir were not factors. Lemmey just does not have it. Mirkov, Durdin, Young thanks but no thanks. Marchbank is an AFL back up defender
because there are no signs of development and many of our young draftees look flawed.eg Lemmey & Moir hunger and focus. There is little talent coming through
They are later picks for a reason, and not all kids find their groove immediately
Both are showing signs of improvement, but not the main theme of my post

Premier and position their vfl team finished...
Pies 8th
Cats 14th
Demon's 5th
Richmond (novfl)
Richmond 1st
West coast (pies made gf their vfl - 5th)
Richmond 5th
Bulldogs 1st
Cbf going back further. Strong vfl with 1 exception. Cats vfl was 5th the year before and are currently 2nd again so a strong program despite not exactly aligning with when they won in 22.
Winning with a bad bad vfl looks like a hell of an anomaly. Box Hill was strong in the hawks years too.
I think it's fair enough , more than fair enough, To be concerned about Carlton's vfl

Could that also be linked to health of the list? More healthy you are the more AFL listed players you play in the VFL which gives you a higher chance of winning. Also being healthy would be important for winning a GF

Pretty likely too. I'd assume there's a good link to being healthy and winning afl premierships too though so.
