What happened to the depth of Carlton Blues? Has landed in other clubs

The 0-4 blues gone their depths. Go to other clubs in the last three seasons are Will Setterfield, Liam Stocker, Paddy Dow, Jack Carroll, Matthew Kennedy, Jack Martin and Matthew Owies. David Cuningham and Caleb Marchbank, inclined to injuries but of great talent, also remained.

There have been valid reasons for all those changes, which allowed the boss on the list of blues Nick Austin to make more choices in the draft, entitled by the bold move of last year to acquire Jagga Smith. Smith’s pre-stuagional knee injury means that his acquisition is now seen through the prism of the heavy price paid rather than everything he does on the field.

Except Kennedy, a respected Clubman and top-10 in the best and most right of last year, nobody has made the blues pay, but it means that Voss must now contact children and debutants.

As reported by this MastheadHarry McKay and Elijah Hollands are not sure to return to the senior team despite a return to competitive football over the weekend after time for personal reasons.

Corey Durdin, Jordan Boyd and Matt Carroll were not taken into consideration. Ben and Lucas Camporeale are monitoring the opportunities later during the year. The rest is still making its way to the lower level.

Can the danger reach 400?

Friday evening, Gmhba Stadium
Geelong defeated 39 points melbourne

Patrick Dangerfield turned 35 on the weekend. Most players retired from that age. If they haven’t done so, they are slowing down well. Not so dangerous.

Accidents have not attenuated the explosiveness of Dangerfield. The 2016 Brownlow medal still has the speed and power that made it one of the best players of the 21st century and the preparation to use it despite its vulnerability to the lesions of soft fabrics.

“When you look at older players, those who have not lost speed and power you think they can play forever,” said Geelong coach Chris Scott. “Pat certainly did not lose any of this.”

Which asks the question, how long can it play for Dangerfield? And can you join the 400 club?

If Dangerfield, contracted until the end of 2026, can play 20 games this year and the next for the perennial finalists, will bring him to 377 and to the hand of the 400 hand in 2027.

You would think that injuries and not the form will be the critical factor for Dangerfield, who has not played an entire season since 2020.

Cats will keep an eye on Dangerfield’s workload. The six-day back-to-back breaks that are headed in the rounds of the seven and eight have a logical moment to be rested.

Playing forward will help Dangerfield’s longevity, giving him the breaks between the competitions that is not offered to him when he plays on the ball.

His coach wants him forward. It may predict that Dangerfield has a similar impact close to Leigh Matthews’s goal, seen by many as the largest of all time, who have played his career from Gold Square.

With the retired goalkeeper of Great Tom Hawkins and the young striker Shannon Neale who makes his way, cats need Dangerfield inside 50, although their best midfielder also remains.

“The more we can kick the ball from him, rather than he kicked it, we think it will be better for us,” said the cat coach Chris Scott.

“I think he thinks he can be an attacker for many years to come, I think he can’t see the time of that challenge.

“The best player of all time (Matthews) did it, he went on … they are a little similar.”

The connection between Swans Recruit and Luke Parker

Saturday evening, Marvel Stadium
Sydney defeated 65 points North Melbourne

Sydney wanted more than the chips of chips North Melbourne offered for Luke Parker last year because they felt that it was worth more than a choice in the 1960s.

The discussions between the clubs slowed down after the initial interviews, but in the end an agreement was resolved on the day of the deadline for Pick 44 to head to Sydney in exchange for Parker and Jacob Konstanty.

That choice, in the end n. 41, was used to ensure the recruit of the Mature Age and the supporter of the infantile swans Riley Bice, who was already impressed by Sydney figures before his match of 26 people against the Kangaroos.

Bice also took sweater n. 26 of Parker.

After three games, Bice is modeling himself as another cunning purchase, blue for the swans, who transformed a veteran, although a favorite son, who was no longer central in their plans into a younger and ready player.

It is also a victory for Parker, who should have left the contract this year with Sydney, but received an extension to 2026 in the north.

The loss that did not seem

Saturday Twilight, mcg
Brisbane defeated 28 points

The crickets of England put the term “moral victory” in the sports lexicon during the ashes of 2023. Not even the most angry supporters of Richmonds would be so foolish that they were moral winners on Brisbane, but this was one of those rare games in which a loss would not feel like one for fans.

Their choice n. 1 Draft (Sam Lalor) had 24 possessions and two goals. And another choice of the first round Luke Trainor showed the promise again in defense. Seth Campbell is building a second season practice. Senior Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto players are fighting.

A crowd of 42,578, better than most of their appearances against Lions here during their years of glory, is the proof of the Richmond electorate like what they are seeing.

The prospect of a season without victories was floated only a few weeks ago, but at this moment you would give Richmond some chance to beat the West Coast, North Melbourne and perhaps also Melbourne.
