Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2017 Rd 2: Post Game Postulations: Carlton vs Melbourne
F@@RK ME. Lewis is a repeat offender, snipes a guy and breaks his jaw and only gets 3 weeks!! Do they still think he's playing at Hawthorn?? This competition is a joke. Rules for some and rules for others and we've been shafted again.
Gee how tough is Cripps for playing on and not shirking at any point for the rest of the game from what I saw.
He's a champ.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2017 Rd 2: Post Game Postulations: Carlton vs Melbourne
So I went today and have just finished watching the replay so I have the following thoughts.
Really wrapped in the young blokes especially down back. Marchbank looks the real deal, Macredie has improved in one week and Plowman was probably our best defensively. I'm a Rowe basher so it hurts me to say his first 2 games have been pretty good. I still have little confidence in him maintaining that level. Docherty had a 50/50 day and Simmo was thankfully better than last week. Simon White needs to go. I'd play Weitering back settle the back 6 and move onto the next line.
Midfield were a pass mainly because of Cripps who was a workhorse today, but Gibbs and Murphy have to stop creating turnovers at crucial times in a game. It crushes any momentum. Kruezer did well.
Forwards were average to poor bar Matty Wright. Dennis needs to go. Great servant to the club but his time is up. Young SOS needs to learn to kick straight under pressure. Last qtr 40 out directly in front to put us 9 point up and shift momentum and he misses. Crucial.
Still lots of others had worse efforts throughout. Levi was shocking. He needs a rest.
Outs for me next week, White (should but probably won't), Armfield (can't see this not happening) and Levi. Maybe one more week for Thomas. Another week for the young indigenous boys too.
Look, they had a crack but their skills cost them again. Be a lot of that this year. Melbourne would not be final 8 based on their effort.
Finally, and I can't believe no ones mentioned this by now but did those umpires give it to us today or what? Never seen so many tackles laid by our blokes go unrewarded. Pathetic.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2017 Rd 1 Post Game Analysis: Carlton vs Richmond
Our number 1's were good tonight. Especially pleased with Kreuzer's game. Just a workhorse. Anyway, positives were a couple of the kids. Macredie not a bad first  up. At least they show a bit of toe, have a bit of courage.
Negatives were our horrific turnovers. Try a few more kids and get rid of guys like Armfield and Thomas.

Definitely depressing to listen to this going on. Our putrid recruiting and player development has really come back to bite us on the arse. How can we have people in the club paid to make such horrific decisions. I'm lost and disillusioned.

I am sooooooooooo glad I didn't bother going today. Have those green shoots that sprung out last year been trampled on.

Ladies Lounge / Re: Women's League
Congrats on the club and the whole concept really. Plenty of other women's sports that are way more uninteresting to watch than this (Tennis is no.1 in my book). Look forward to catching a couple of games during the off-season. Also gives parents who only have girls in the family the chance to watch their kids play at the highest level.

Absolutely elated. The atmosphere i those last 2 minutes was electric. People were going off. It's was quite surreal and I loved it.
Team was fantastic. I thought each time someone down (Bolt, Kreuz, Crippa, Plowman) we couldn't win it but they never gave up. Our transition football when we managed to break was the best I've seen and this was clearly our best game skills wise for the year.
No weak links apart from Jammo. I really feel for this guy but his time is up. I am one of the Sam Rowe critics but if he continues to play like he did today he will maintain his spot.
Just brilliant today was Kreuzer. He is the barometer IMO

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Rd 7 : Pre Game Thread - Blues v Pies
It's games like these that really worry me (although I don't have a lot of confidence either way). Pies are down and out, players injured, out of form a couple of their better players as late withdrawals then BANG they end up smashing us. Seen it happen too many times before.
Really hope Kreuzer has a great game. Took a season high 4 marks last week so I'm praying he's getting some confidence back. Kreuzer wins we win.
Also, if Thomas can have another good game that would be a great result.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Rd 3: Carlton vs Gold Coast: Post Game Pain
So, my two cents worth;
I'm with the crew who point out it's game 3 in a rebuilding year so let's take a breath. Yes our skills are still shizen at times but I definitely see an improvement in the way we're TRYING to play. We just don't have enough soldiers right now (still should have beaten $hitmond)
The players
Weitering BOG closely followed by E Curnow and maybe the Doc?
Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuzer Thomas and Simpson (poor games and no impact). On K-man I think I agree with those that suggest he should just ruck on his own.
Phillips tries but because he also has no impact and my previous point re Kreuzer means give him a rest.
Thought BOTH the Irish guys did OK. Tuohy gets plenty of whacks for some reason on this site but at least he can influence positively on occasions.
Cripps good considering he was struggling with some sort of injury.
C Curnow and Levi I'm happy for them to be persisted with.
Kerridge and BB started OK but got worse as the game went on?
Jammo and Rowe, real bad. Jammo has runs on the board but we can't afford to carry the two of them so for me Rowe HAS TO GO. Bring in anyone else with two legs.
Dylan did a couple of nice things and tries his guts out but just not up to it at the moment.
Whiley, why was he selected??? Gives us nothing. Go back.
Nick Graham a bit like Dylan but a smidge better, just.
Wright got a bit of it but went unnoticed. Another with a lack of influence. He is no Eddie.
Heaven help us against the doggies next week.
